Re: DressUp features (Fillet etc.) references

I just wanted to re-iterate this by Werner. Coin3D - FreeCAD Delegation to help move Coin3D forward I find odd that in all those topics about the scene graph issue, the possibility of going with OCCT visualization is never considered. ... In the early days of FreeCAD we were using the OCCT viewer a...

Re: DressUp features (Fillet etc.) references

Yes, that is it. I also found an approach using TNaming from the OCC application framework:

I will give it a try.

Re: When loading FC console shows: "connect failed: No such file or directory"

Ok, I see the following options: - Ask the Spnav developers nicely to remove the error message -> No hint when you want to know why it is not working - Ask the Spnav developers nicely to add an extra error report function -> Could be the best solution - Fork libspnav - Check if the socket file is pr...

Re: When loading FC console shows: "connect failed: No such file or directory"

I am responsible for this. "connect failed..." is the error message from libspnav. There is no socket when the daemon is not running. It might be possible to avoid this message by checking before if the daemon is running but using the return value of spnav_open() is a check by benign failu...

DressUp features (Fillet etc.) references

Hi, I had some trouble with fillets on a complex part. A small change of the base part would wreak havoc with the edge assignments. The edge references appear to depend on topological naming. I did not yet go to the bottom of this. Topological names are very difficult to keep constant. I am quite ce...

Re: Body clone inside body position properties dissapear after save

The AttachmentOffset seems to be a Part property not PartDesign. Is there any plan to add this to PartDesign at all?

Re: Body clone inside body position properties dissapear after save

This is exactly the point. The clone as the base feature has the position of the original body. The enclosing body of the clone has the position (0,0,0). After a save/load it is impossible to edit the position of the clone. Either the position of the clone remains editable or the new body gets the p...

Re: Body clone inside body position properties dissapear after save

I found another issue.
When I clone a body FreeCAD creates a new body positioned at the origin (0,0,0). The Position of the original body is in the clone feature. I will try to track this down.

Body clone inside body position properties dissapear after save

Hello, I have to bring this topic up again: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=25636 Right now a clone is immediately placed into a new body. This seems to be necessary. FreeCAD wants to migrate the design if the clone is taken out of the body. The position can either be changed by moving ...

Re: FreeCAD natively under Gnome/Wayland

It was quite easy. Coin works without glx for FreeCAD probably because the funtionality is not needed by FreeCAD and Coin has a dummy implementation. I just had to add a patch to the Arch build recipy: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/coin-hg/ not to find glx: diff -ura coin/CMakeLists.txt coin.ne...
