Helpful bits & pieces for C++20, Qt6, etc.
Hi all, I was thinking of taking on a Windows add-on project so I first started trying to get the software to build on Windows. I didn't use Libpack or Conda (Libpack didn't have Python 3.10, Conda just caused more problems than it solved), but installed the latest versions of dependencies manually ...

Patch for Arch shapefile importing, other shapefile issues
Hi there, I've been trying to import a couple of GIS shapefiles and ran into some bugs in src/Mod/Arch/importSHP.py. One of them is that the Z coordinates stored in the shapefile do not get used by importSHP.py. This is fixed by the attached patch. You can see the difference before/after with the at...

SketchUp push/pull patent expiring
Hi there, The patent on SketchUp's push/pull functionality ( https://patents.google.com/patent/US6628279B1/en ) expires tomorrow. I know it is possible to do the equivalent operations in FreeCAD already, but push/pull makes it so much easier. Would someone take it on themselves to implement this in ...

Re: unrecognized option '-m' on Win 10 startup
Hi, This happens to me with FreeCAD 0.19.1 in both portable and installer versions, and the FreeCAD 0.20.24694 weekly build. It wasn't happening to me with the 0.19.24267 dev build. On Windows, I ran a wmic command to show me the command line arguments of each process, and I see these two processes:...

Arch Panel Cut - bug or feature?
Hi, I'm designing a bathroom cabinet to be made out of 3/4" plywood. After getting the shape of the overall vanity right, I sliced it up into objects suitable to be cut from plywood, created an Arch Panel for each of those objects, and aligned the arch panels to be on the same plane as the Arch...

Problems with Arch Panel Cut
Thank you Roy_043. That does what I want. However, I do not seem to be able to do an Alignment operation on a link.
I came across another bug with Arch Panel Cut, but will save that for their forum.
Regards,
Elliot

Re: How to simulate a light pipe?
Try installing the 'pyrate' add-on workbench. Will that do what you need?

Re: Problems with Part Slice / CompoundFilter
Thank you Chris... When I ran a geometry check on the sliced vanity, it also gave errors that probably indicate the type of issues you mentioned. I tried simplifying the cut-lines sketch down to the two vertical lines, and then did another cut from the side of that "Messed up piece". Slici...

Problems with Part Slice / CompoundFilter
I'm designing a bathroom vanity cabinet in FreeCAD. My file is attached. I'm using FreeCAD 0.19-24267 on Windows 10 x64. The approach I took was to design the entire cabinet as a single solid, and then use a 'slice' operation to cut it into pieces. With those pieces I plan to lay them down and turn ...

Re: FreeCAD crashes when many WB are installed (was BIM and Dodo WB update causes crash)
I downloaded Windows Conda build 23756 and tried installing all the workbenches possible (I wound up with 74). The bugfix works. Here are some notes of other bugs I found that still need to be fixed: * On Windows I still hit the old problem when workbenches try to symlink a file into the Macros dire...
