Drmacro and Shalmeneser Thank you so much for your responses and for the file including the correction. I have heard of FreeCAD's Topological Naming Problem before. It surprises me that it is still there. I read that a developer that goes by the name RealThunder introduced a fix to the problem years...

Folks, this is driving me crazy. :x I designed a simple oval-shaped trashcan (See attached file). Though it would be a simple thing to do in FreeCAD. :cry: Here are the steps I followed. Don’t worry, they are few and simple. ;) 1 – Added a body (Body) and crated a sketch (Sketch) under Body on the X...

Drmacro and Papyblaise, Thank you so much for your responses. They are really helping me to understand the amazing tool that is FreeCAD. I think I have enough for now to choose a course of action and get my model to do what I want. Should I run into any issues replicating what you guys proposed, I w...

if you make a multiple copy of Bodies through a link object, you can no longer separate yourself from the link element you can do a Draft / Array of a body , and do a Boolean addition so that they are one and the same with a space between them you can reinclude this fuse in a new Body (without crah...

If, when you say "body", you refer to a Part Design Body, then yes you can array a Body with Draft array tools. If you mean a feature of a Body, every feature (Pad/Pocket/Pattern) must result in a single solid. At least with current builds. If you are creating solids with Part wrokbench, ...

Can I linearly propagate a body without having another support/substrate body? If I do need another support/substrate body, and I create one for the single purpose of serving as support for the linear propagation of a body, can I hide (e.g.: toggling visibility off, setting transparency to 100%, or ...

I have a macro that is still a bit of a work in progress called PDWrapper: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=62600 To use for doing this: * select the edges to be filleted * invoke the fillet tool in part workbench (might need to reselect the edges in the dialog) * make sure the...

THANK YOU ALL :ugeek: :ugeek: :ugeek: SO MUCH FOR YOUR GENEROUS HELP :D The demon has been expelled, my sin cancelled, my FreeCAD soul cleansed, and I am now back in the fold, thanks to your pious and gracious effort. Certainly the FreeCAD community is awesome. You are all very knowledgeable about t...

Your sin is in trying to use Part Design fillet on a Part workbench object (the fillet). Another sin was using Part workbench fillet on edges from a Part Design feature. You can do this, but it should be on the Body and not on a Pad/Pocket/etc. But how? You must select the edge and it always gives ...

Is there a reference (e.g.: video, webpage) where the rules for mixing Part and PartDesign WBs are explained in detail? Rule number 1. Don't do it. Rule number 2. Never try to access from Part WB anything in a Body at a finer level than the Body itself. Rule number 3. This is mostly a one-way trip....
