Re: Merging two faces into a single one?

Thanks for the response @roerich_64: Hmm, i think it is a better way to do this in Part-Design-WB: That outcome was exactly what I was looking for ... but without the manual drawing :) (again, this example here is just a stand-in for more complex models, which could have hundreds of edges to trace, ...

Re: Extruding a "cable" with wires (cylindrical) from 2D constraints, with individually colorable objects?

Thanks @NormandC: FYI, it looks like you haven't done your Ubuntu updates in a while. The current freecad-daily build as of today is 0.18.15 417 .

I don't have any issue with an old 0.17.13509 AppImage based on OCC 7.1.0. I don't have a version with OCC 7.2.0 to test. I wish there wa...
