Re: pocket (or hole) not working on additive loft

I see that you changed the support plane to be XZ as opposed to the face of the object. I see now One thing I noticed about Loft is just because the sketch edges are straight between sketches doesn't mean Loft will create planar faces. So on the Holder, you can sketch on that flat face and create a...

Re: Releasing new macro "ReModel".

Updating the macro to version 1-2. The macro will be in the first post. I focused a bunch on the use of active body. I have a process that removes most of the requirements of having to keep track of the active body which I find to be annoying and time consuming. My logic: if you click an object and ...

Re: Fillet at the base of a curved pipe

I'm not sure from the post what the final goal was but you can use a Loft to create the fillet. You can split the base circle fillet Sketch and make the fillet curve around shapes if desired.

Re: Making Sense of Threaded Holes

how deep would it be safe to thread the holes? You are (pretty much) asking for mechanical engineering. Do you go to the internet and ask what kind of medications to take? I'm just kidding but at some point someone is responsible for what you are working on and we have no idea what is safe... I kno...

Re: Why is CurvesWB not built-in?

CurvesWB is my experimental playground. It's certainly not my place to recommend, but if your new playground happened to be replacing the Thickness tool. Even if it was Thickness-experimental, something in a macro that gives developers a starting place..... :) Thickness is such a POS for some model...

Icon issue, reusing a registered icon.

I'm trying to reuse a PartDesign Icon, the create Pad . I have attached my macro code. The macro works fine for a .XPM icon but I can't figure out how to get the PartDesign icon to show. It might be the PD icon is registered for PartDesign and I can't have access. I want the icon to connect my own c...

Re: pocket (or hole) not working on additive loft

Pabs,
I would like to look at this but there is no post telling what version is used to build this model, unless I missed it. There are about a dozen different version of FreeCAD that you could be using, both release or development.

Open the Pocket parameters and try Reversing the Pocket.
