Is this still an actual problem? I failed to reproduce the issue on a recent git with any of the provided examples. Simple recalculation of the model seams to produce a correct result in each of the provided files. OS: Gentoo Linux (Trinity/trinity) Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0.21.0.32200...

I meant "equal" as in "equal rights" =). i.e. the first section is just the first one of its peers; there is nothing intrinsically different about it from other sections.

As for now Loft and Pipe features are considered to be ProfileBased features that leads to their quite unnatural structure: they both have a single base Profile and several additional Sections. This could make some sense for a pipe, because it could have only one section, but it's very confusing for...

PS: in general, for such small issues, should I post on forum first or go straight for a PR?

I've set Tools->Preferences->TechDraw->Annotation->Center Line Style to DashDot , but Insert Center Line tools defaults to Dash es anyway. It's an easy one to fix, I can do it, I was gonna make a PR, but the wiki suggested that I post a forum post first. Should I go straight for a PR or fill in a bu...

wait, the whole new partdesign/assembly work was merged? without an additional test request? before the release?

What's the purpose of the part object? I get that a body acts as a container for other features, but what does the part object do? The part object is a generic abstraction. It is intended be used for next means : - it is a placeable group of objects. (e.g. it's handy to see how two objects fits to ...

IMHO it's not the time yet... I'm not an adherent of idea to merge in whatever state it is, so I'd like to propose to do it on next "test request"...

Note that it's mostly our desire, but we haven't discussed it with core developers yet...

e.g. if the input forbids angle more than 360°, the code will likely allow to input 359 rad... I was wrong about that... Its name is Precision::Confusion() but you can't use this in the core system since it's part of occ and this we don't want there. It would be nice to have such constant for FreeC...
