The newly created object has a depth which goes into the object where it is projected on. Make a boolean cut to get it "pocketed".

In diesem Fall solltest Du den ungewünschten Teil zu Konstruktionsgeometrie machen und dann das Teil in der Part-Workbench extrudieren.

I use the part cube all the time. Not in real models, but for quick checks to validate some answers to user questions. I even have it integrated in the toolbars for CAM and TechDraw.

My guess: The body has lost its Tip.

There are indeed various great submissions, thanks to all contributors and to Obelisk, doing the organizational work! And I'm glad to see one outstanding ingenious proposal. A common shortcut for FreeCAD is FC, and we have seen many proposals, here and before, which incorporate these two letters. So...

That's good practice !

It was mentioned to me by PM that I am using a mix of Part WB and Part Design WB. Is this a bad practice? It's bad newbie practice, because they hardly know the details which must be respected. - PartDesign in Part or Draft workbench: Use only bodies, not features - you can use a Part object as Bas...

Hier ist nun die Datei. Sie erfordert zwingend erst mal eine komplette Neuberechnung!

Hier wäre mal eine PartDesign-Lösung, bei der das Gewinde in den vorhandenen Body integriert ist. Zum Platzieren des BaseFeatures muss man erst mal alle Attribute sichtbar machen. Eine Bohrung kann dann die Senkung gleich mitmachen. Edit: die Datei ist zu groß, das dauert nun ein wenig; hier schon m...

We have also seen that other USB devices can disturb the FreeCAD mouse while other applications don't seem to be affected. In case you have a joystick or a console, try to disconnect them.
