Just wanted to report back and say "thanks" for the great advice, and to say that things have been going surprisingly well. I think the freeCAD gurus have chanelled their psychic energy in my direction... There are two main things that have helped: 1. I'm avoiding using the tools, but wher...

Here’s a simple one that happens all the time (to me!). 1. Make a wall along the x-axis, and a second wall at 45deg. 2. Choose any door from the library and put it in the first wall - no problems. 3. Choose another door from the library and put it in the second wall… it doesn’t go in the wall, but s...

I'm happy to do anything I can, or anything you suggest, but I haven't been making notes on any of this, just getting more and more frustrated each time there's a problem!

...I forgot to say thanks to paullee - great advice. I'll try it for a month or so and see how it goes!

All the elements are from the library and none has been edited by me. The glass door is just a door I took at r...

Good point Paul, here’s an example: This is just a training file. I was following the BIM tutorial. I made a wall along the x-axis and put a door in it. No problem. I made another wall at an angle of 30deg to the x-axis and followed the instructions, but this time the door refuses to go in the wall,...

Thanks. I doubt that it's the TNP, although I don't know enough about it to be sure. It can happen if I have 200 elements on the page, or it might happen if I have just 2. For example, I might have a wall and a window, with nothing else. I might try to rotate the window with the rotate tool in the B...

Hello, I wonder if you would be kind enough to comment? I’ve been using freecad for about two weeks, and I’ve managed to do a design for a house+conservatory which I’m quite pleased with, but I’m having some serious problems. I’m using v0.19 with Mac OS Monterey on a Mac Mini M1. Mainly, I find that...
