Changing the model coordinate system 3-2-1

Hello, is there any tool, module or procedure to change the origin of the part using 3-2-1 method? I don't want to transform it manually, basically I need to use the most common way that is the 3-2-1.

How can I place a point on a curved face and make a normal

Hello all

In the following picture I graph the normal but it is going on the opposite direction I expected.

How can I place first a point on the selected face if it is curved? or how can I make a normal to outside of the body like the red arrow.

I attach the part file

My question is, how can I detect that faces cross, split or intersect a shape. in this case a sphere.

please see the attached picture

detect joints and list the linear length

Hello all I am new user of FreeCaD, I have a project where I would like to compute the linear length of welding automatically, so basically the first step should be detecting some contact or joint between parts, determine where the fillet weld can be placed and lastly the linear length. Do you have ...
