Yes, it was a draft circle. I now understand also why it is set in such a way. Thank you very much.

Hi, I just noticed that if you try to loft (using the Part:Loft menu), the application will not recognize the circle if it has the default angles (firstAngle=0, lastAngle=0). It will only pick it up (put it in the list of the task panel) if the angles are firstAngle=0, lastAngle different than 0 (de...

Hi, this is a post about "named STLs" made as geometric input for OpenFoam (computational fluid dynamics). I believe this software accepts the format as an input: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-meshing/61601-blender-export-script-named-ascii-stlbs.html I am not sure however, if ...

Is it possible to put names on groups of faces (patch) using the mesh export function?

Thanks very much.

Hi, I am using the newest build for win32 0.11 (5284) I am trying to do some fillets using the GUI on a fusion object. I remember that filleting using the 0.11 GUI felt much easier. 0.12 does not highlight edges as you click them, it highlights the whole fusion object when you click an edge. Is ther...

Awesome job! Thank you. This is the best open source 3D CAD software out there. The fact that you can use python to create objects parametrically makes it even better! I am learning python thanks to Freecad!

You are totally right, I don't know why I didn't just make the shape and extrude. That's what happens with lack of sleep. Here is my code for doing this same shape. Is there a way of doing it that is more efficient or correct? Thanks. from FreeCAD import Base rectangle1 = Part.makePlane(8,40, Base.V...

Hi, The following takes a block, copies it, rotates the copies, and makes sort of a star/asteric 3D object by fusing them. I need to rescale the already fused object, and it doesn't seem to work. Everything works fine until I try the scale command towards the end. Thank you very much in advance. imp...

Got it, thank you very much.

Thanks for the reply. I tried using the following and it didn't seem to work:
