FreeCAD doesn't work algebraically, but calculates the models with the limited - yet very high - precision of the computer's internal representation of floating point calculations. An additional step can create additional rounding errors, which are in this case for the good by eliminating the copla...
Thanks for the pics, but it's hard to diagnose problems without a file (and version info.) Sure. Though I guess I wasn't so much looking for a diagnosis, but rather for some guidelines. But here it is: OS: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS (XFCE/xubuntu) Word size of OS: 64-bit Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Versio...

By rightclicking on the most recent object under a body, you can select "Set colors..." from the context menu and select faces in the body that you want to give a specific colour. However it can be very tedious work to select them all man...
Great feedback. It good that you post these observations. It may lead to possibly opening up an upstream Qt bug report. It would be great if someone else with a similiar setup + chromecast could try to recreate. I was finally able to try again today and lo - the problem was gone. What or who fixed ...
