I performed a boolean operation with two parts. One of the parts disappears afterwards. I played around with some of the property functions and found "display mode body" under the property>view. I changed the option from "through" to "tip" and everything shows up. Can s...

No, TechDraw is another workbench than Drawing. I found it. It is on the Wiki page under "Working with Workbenches". It isn't in the actual Manual. Yes, the idea would be to sell a book and get some extra money for FreeCAD. Sounds fine to me. It is a lot of work though. You help me with w...

Agree on both points. The whole FreeCAD homepage should also be redone at some point... About the manual, I'd also like to try to bring in in a good shape to have it printed as a real book. This seems the perfect time to do it. AFAICS the PArtDesign chapter needs to be redone, the Drawing one needs...

Why do I even waste my time making those files anyway?

I am a newer user and am going through some of the Tutorials. Just attempted the Whiffle Ball tutorial twice and believe that I found a few type o's. I would like to help with Free Cad in some manor and feel this is one of my strong points. I have a knack for stumbling upon little errors here and t...

Quicker method to create the profile: Sketch a rectangle with bottom left corner at sketch origin Delete vertical constraint on right line Move the line to make it slanted Fillet upper right corner Add required dimensional constraints. I agree. Much better efficiency. From 2:49, instead of creating...

Thank all of you for the responses. I had to step away for a day to wrap my head around all of this. I'll have to practice at all of the suggestions, study the information and such. That will take me a day or so. I learned a lot in the past few days from all of this. NormandC, the time you spend is ...

: A hint.. increase the marker size: That did it. Thanks. there allways is a chance to fail properly catching the RIGHT entity , I see what you mean. That will have to be something out of timely experience when to/and not to use it. Thank you for that. Currently, I am wanting to design a small prod...
