Gap between the extension lines of dimensions and the actual object is missing
I am using FreeCAD 0.20.2. When I add a dimension to a 2D view of an object in the TechDraw workbench, there is no gap between the actual object and the extension lines of the dimension. I am aware that version 0.21 will add a new feature to have individually sized gaps for extension lines, see pull...

Re: How to downgrade a monolithic Part body imported as IGES into its components?
I tried it, but same result. Which file did you download? I only get a monolithic block even if I use STEP AP214.

Re: How to downgrade a monolithic Part body imported as IGES into its components?
Rittal also offers an assembly in Step AP214. Any reason to not use it? Screenshot_20230528.png Didn't know that. The number of file formats offered by Rittal are overwhelming. I tried the first dozen until I found something which worked with FreeCAD and so I stopped with IGES. I will give it a try.

Re: How to downgrade a monolithic Part body imported as IGES into its components?
You have to use "Explode compound" of the "Part" Wb to get the volumetric components (mesh/shell) that you can easily convert into solid always from the same "Part" wb and then be able to use the boolean functions. Same problem with ExplodeCompound as with Draft_Downgr...

Re: How to downgrade a monolithic Part body imported as IGES into its components?
i would do it like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4pHexDGf9k thomas-neemann Thank you for the video tutorial, but this is exactly which doesn't work for me. After you have selected the cabinet, you pick the command Draft_Downgrade . This leads to the error message. Apparently, it works for ...

How to downgrade a monolithic Part body imported as IGES into its components?
I got an IGES file from the manufacturer of a cabinet for an electric distribution box. I can import that file into my FreeCAD project where it appears as a single Part object. Unfortunately, the cabinet is drawn with the door being closed. I would like to remove the door. Optimally, the door would ...

How to create a body with non-perpendicularly edges in each direction in anefficientl and parametric stable manner?
I need to model a PartDesign body which is roughly a cuboid, but the surfaces are slightly sloped and edges as well as corners are rounded. I understand that it is best to have a few sketches attached to the XYZ plane of the body's origin instead of basing subsequent steps on generated geometry. Hen...

Re: How to fix inconsistent orientation of Arch structures based on sketches?
in response to your previous post I already told you that Structure was not made to draw floors or walls [...] Arch_Structure can also be used for floors. The Arch_tutorial specifically mentions this. For the answer of the question it is irrelevant whether Arch Structures may or may not be used to ...

How to fix inconsistent orientation of Arch structures based on sketches?
My model contains several sketches in the XY plane which are the basis for Arch Structures ( Arch_Structure ) with a height along the Z axis. However, sometimes the height of the structure goes into positive Z direction sometimes into negative direction. See the attached screenshot. Screenshot_20230...
