Re: Different planes

Hi and welcome to the forum! I would start with a revolve including everything except the small cylinder at the side. Next I would make cuts in X and Y direction. If it is an old engine, thats probably how it was built. Yeah, you were right. But now I have another problem :( I can´t fuse both shape...

Different planes

Hello everyone! I´m building an engine, and this piece it´s difficult to make because I´ve got to connect two points in different planes (at least that´s what I think I must do). I tried to do it with Part Design and it looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/wcJw1lA.png This is the blueprints I´m foll...

Dipslacement problem

Hello! I was doing a tutorial and I faced a little problem. They guy in the video is displacing the sketch -80 mm. But when I try to do the same, the Placement stuff on the data part of the sketch can´t be selected. So, I can´t change the Placement. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for reading! As alwa...

Cylinder curves / Problem

Hello everyone! I´m modeling an engine, and I´ve faced a lot of doubts. A new one has arrived: I´ve seen how the blueprints I´m using have certan curves (arcs), and when I use FreeCAD top draw them on the sketch, I see a point that refers to the center of the "circle". A certain radious is...

Transfer to another file / Problem

Hello! While building the case of what it´s suposse to be an engine, I tried to copy a sketch from a file to another one, but it appears a notification and eventually don´t allow me to do it. Here it is: https://i.imgur.com/lcgk8Sp.png It technically says that if I want to use Part design, I need an...

Re: Carburator body / sketch

I did it. But too ne honest, the french curve part wasn´t the best. It doesn´t look the same, but still is a good try, I guess. Also, don´t know if it´s my mistake but one of the parts crash with another at the top. Is one of the covers, the one that has a little lever attached to it. I cheked the m...

Carburator body / sketch

Hello everyone! I wanted to know if it´s possible to build this up on FreeCAD. I think it doesn´t have the whole info to do it. What do you think? Also, how do you build a "French curve" like the one in the photo (just if it´s possible, I mean). Thank you for reading (: PD: What is all tha...

Re: Error with selection

I actually did it following your recomendations, but still the problem prevails, I guess. When I select one of the objects (in the box next to the screen that shows all the files), they all get selected, or... maybe it´s because my version is 0.17 and the one in the video is 0.16. Don´t know. This i...

Error with selection

Hello! I was doing a tutorial about how to model a Piston from a car engine and I eventually reach a part where I must cut one shape from another. But I can't. Apparently, when I select one of the, both of them get selected (And just one appears visible in the box where the icons of the files are sh...
