Here are two examples of sweeps created in FreeCAD from Master. They will display in FreeCAD release 0.13 but can not be originally created in 0.13. This one I created a surface with a hole (like a washer) and swept it along a sketch which must have a tangent constraint between its components. If th...

Come on Jim, 0.13.1828 is the current official stable release and it came out not two months ago!!! ;) And yet it is already obsolete! :D No, not really. But there are a few interesting things in master already. :) Staying on 0.13 is also probably a good idea for people like him, who presumably wil...

I've just been using it.

Hi Werner The vertex is more obvious. Part create primitive, select a point from the drop down list and you get a Vertex in the tree named Vertex. the Line is more subtle. Its not the same really, but if you create some lines in the above, and then go to shape builder you make a face from edges. It ...

EDIT: Something just came to my mind... Do I perhaps need to convert my sketch to something like a "path object" as some image processing programs use? I used the term "path" literally in my previous postings and couldn't find something like a "convert to path..." in F...

Yes, because IMO multi-selection here is only a pseudo argument. What does it help to allow to select different types of shape and set a display mode e.g. "Flat Lines" if this leads to make the circles, ellipses, ... invisible? I am not sure if that is funny or sad or both? Because I spec...

Hi We currently have a mix of names for Lines/Edges and points/vertices both in the GUI and the code. When I first started with FreeCAD I thought of these as points and lines, but at least in the Part workbench I can see now that they are more than that, they really are edges and vertices. If we wer...

But if there is a good reason to go with your modifications, shouldn't vertex only have "Points" mode?

Hi Werner :) commit 73bcc4234cecd74ddafaa35c71d1d3d7ec78a595 Author: wmayer <wmayer@users.sourceforge.net> Date: Thu Mar 28 14:39:30 2013 +0100 For shapes with no faces remove display modes >Flat lines< and >Shaded< Are you sure we want to do that? I deliberately put those in there because other wis...
