Which unit system do you use?

Open FreeCAD Part workbench Solids toolbar: click Tube button Set dimensions, in radius, even though diameter makes more sense Click 'Okay' button Get error message saying that .125 is larger than .1875 https://snipboard.io/Fca2sj.jpg Please advise.

This is just brutal. The "thou" is not helpful. If I want a cylinder that is 5/16" diameter, having to enter the radius takes me one step away from the dimension in its meaningful value. Then, FreeCAD converts the radius to "thou" making in meaningless. I switch my preferenc...

A quickie response on units for your fillet. Set your units preference in "Edit/preferences/unit" US customary or imperial decimal will set your fillet radius in inches. I constantly have to reset this when working with your compatriots on the other side of the puddle. Ian Thanks, Ian. Ye...

Thanks for the reply and helpful info, @IanP. Can you advise what radius fillet you are trying to apply? Even though I am working in Imperial decimal, the default fillet is 1mm. (It would be great to be able to "fix"/change that.) I got tired of specifying after so very, very many failures...

I have been struggling with fillets since I started using FreeCAD a few weeks ago. :[ I was using the basic solid objects in the Part WB. I was told that was the problem with failed fillets and weird transparency issues. So, I learned the Sketcher WB. Now, I have much the same problem, on the same p...

I am fairly new to FreeCAD and I really like it so far. I already find myself creating a lot of exports to .step and .iges files to get production quotes from vendors. Now, my 'Start page' 'Recent files' is cluttered with the exports, which displace my much smaller list of .FCStd files. It would be ...

I had an idea. I tried making three separate filets, instead of including all of the edges in one filet ("group"). That seems to have worked. Is that a workaround that makes sense given the nature of this issue?

Please see the attached file, created in 0.18, then modified in 0.19.

Looking at your video, it seems you have self-intersections in some of the solids you created, so that the fillet fails is not uncommon in this case. Probably the solids can be modelled in a better, more robust way. My part is a union of all the solids. Shouldn't the union eliminate self-intersecti...
