Re: Crash on open

IMO a Part could look like this: Part --BasePlanes --PartDesing::Body ------Pad ------Pocket ------Boolean(Cut,Add,Fuse) --------PartDesign::Body -----------Pad -----------Body --App::GeometricGroup ------Loft ------Sketch ------Whatever feature ------Mesh ------GeomtricGroup ---------evenMoreFeatur...

Re: Crash on open

I see sweeping and lofting as methods for surface modelling. Also you can see them as primitive operations. Thy are usually not used in solid modelling.
Sure we can use Part-features or any other Part based feature in the Part object. But for Body tanderson hit the nail on the head.

Re: Relative Placements and shapes

Yes, I would also prevent the PartDesign features from moving. It just makes no sense and brings a lot of troubles. The Part is for moving.

Re: Crash on open

A body should only combine features which produce solids. All the rest should go either in Part directly or in a GeometricGroup in the Part. You can see the Part as a small document which can be used by Assembly like techniques. Mixing non PartDesign features into the Body is IMO no good idea.

Re: Relative Placements and shapes

Thats a good way to go. I'm do the DocumentGraph class in my Branch. Moving the Body itself is IMO very uncommon, and unparametric. In Catia there is a PartDesign Transform feature which move the shape in the Body as the last feature in a Body modelling history. But as long as the Assembly is not fu...

Re: Crash on open

No, the PartDesign Body only accepts PartDesign features or some simple types like Plane. All the rest dont live in a Body, its in the Part. If you are allowed to reference such geometry from inside a Body (by e.g. Sketch) is a interesting discussion! It makes the modeling more powerful but much mor...

Re: Relative Placements and shapes

Here we come to the interesting and tricky stuff... That whole matter is, what I called the relativistic era of FreeCAD. Means the position of two GeometricObjects in a FreeCAD document, and even above it, is never defined absolute. Its always relative to what you compare it to. More complex is the ...

Re: Crash on open

Switching of the migration is sure a way to be faster on dev - but - the problems comes later on to get it running again. In any cast we have to have a migration tool.. The BaseBody is in Part for the remote posiblity that there is a workbench beside PartDesign to use Body like objects to create sol...

Re: State of Assembly

Looks good so far!

give me a assert on the binding of signal in MdiView and I'm not quit sure recompute the document on every delete is a good idea.
