A feature is not a stand alone solid, so you need something like Lattice2 to provide the functionality in Part Design. In a way a body is a recipe of features with internal references. A feature can as well be a part of a recipe. A set of operations, which are floating (not belonging to a body) and...

... This idea would be difficult on projects other than flat plate. I would say in general, FreeCAD doesn't allow you to reuse features. If the referencing to the parent body can be defined in a clean way, then it would be easy to implement, as FreeCAD would only have to repeat the same process, as...

The Lattice2 workbench allows for repeating a PD Feature at an array of locations. https://github.com/DeepSOIC/Lattice2/wiki/PartDesign-Pattern-Tutorial Thanks, this is indeed useful but I would like to be able to place features on arbitrary locations (not defined by array). Idea is that e.g. makin...

Hi there,
sorry for bumping up an old topic. I will then move on submitting a feature request for this and link this thread. Thanks for all the inputs.
Edit: I am not sure if the github page accepts feature requests.

I will give it a try!

Thanks!

Interestingly, it does not center well (particularly visible with larger numbers. I will still have to shift it manually.

Hi, I am puzzled by the vertexes objects of parts and vertexes objects of the faces of that part. If I create a part cube and then run the following in the console: cube = doc.getObjectsByLabel('Cube')[0] [cube.Shape.Vertexes.index(v) for v in cube.Shape.Faces[0].Vertexes] I get this error: Tracebac...

I have just found out about the draft plane: This will probably solve the alignment issue but not the rotation issue. Work in progress.

Hi, I am quite puzzled about this. I used the Polyhedrons macro (available in the Addon Manager) to create a Tetrahedron (lets call it tetra). I would like to label each face with a number using a Macro. I have tried the following: By iterating over all tetra.Shape.Faces I generate a ShapeString and...
