Re: Beste Vorgehen für Anpassung der Datei auf 3D Druckgröße

Zum einfachen Zerschneiden bietet sich an:
- In der Sketcher-Workbench Sketch mit Schnittlinien erstellen
- In Part extrudieren liefert Schnittflächen
- Part SliceApart schneidet auseinander.

Re: Converting Mesh objects to solid

If a suitable face is hard to find: don't attach it at all.

And as so often, you should consider remodeling in FreeCAD.

Mangojelly has a video on youtube about this.

Re: Can't select external geometry from SubShapeBinder

If I try to edit the LipProfile sketch and click on the "Select external geometry" icon, I still can't select any of the desired geometry. At this point, I'm baffled. Make everything invisible except the body and the SubShapeBinder. Especially the source of the SubShapeBinder has to be in...

No not really - except perhaps when you want to stick to the core system.

Re: Equal constraint can't be applied to mirrored slot arcs right away

Oh these horrible gifs where I never know where they start. I cannot confirm your issue, but I found a different one: - open your sketch - select both left arcs - apply equality -> the sketch is shown as overconstrained with the newly applied equality said to be redundant. The phenomenon vanishes if...

Change backgroundcolor of TreeView

Is it possible to change just the white backgroundcolor of the TreeView and the property view to a light grey without changing the whole theme? I want to include some screenshots in a pdf, and a color different from the white background would be appreciated.

Re: External geometry (or alternative) best practices?

This could be a good application for a master sketch: the master has just the square outline. You reference it from a sketch where you later delete some geometry, replace linmes by arcs, ar add new things. The other sketch also references the master, which must be simple enough to not receive struct...
