Ok, I get it. Indeed Catia is not in the same Isometric view by default, (that's I misunderstand you) so you are facing the XZ plane normal, and the sketch orientation is along Y axis (as in freecad, or maybe freecad is as in catia, as IMHO FreeCAD is looking more and more like Catia, but I'm not CA...

I don't get what you mean, the normal is on the Y+ axis, as usual (well as usually in Automotive... in other engineering field I don't know)

Wow, such an honor, my GraberI3 is on the presentation. for the records, thanks to this model I decided to.... do another 3D printer than this one lol By the way, for 3D printing, the production chain is close to be fully integrated in free cad with curaengine plugin. (I didn't succeed to make it wo...

I just modify the sequence I put. I saw that you need to have the body activated, AND the feature selected. if only the body is activated, the boolean operation comes at the end of the tree. better with a Warning message maybe? (like "No Feature Selected!"). If you select the boolean opera...

What is selected when you use the boolean tool? And which body is the active one? so based on this question, I dig a little bit more and it works. indeed I had the 3rd body selected. But it was on purpose. I thought you need to make the boolean operation within a separate body. so : "How To pe...

So, I'm trying the "Pat design Next" WB and, here is my first (suposed)bug : OS: Mac OS X Word size of OS: 64-bit Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0.17.5235 (Git shallow) Build type: Release Branch: (detached from 081b86c) Hash: 081b86c212de8a0d37ce537ce217b9d736ecda8e Python version:...

It Sounds very Attractive! Congratulation for the job. I'm testing it right now. How do we know if it's a real bug, or a not yet added function? (I already find some) do we have to put some [bug?] on each topic subject, and update it to [bug-confirmed] or [pending function] (or something else) once ...

Hi, for Gmshh I have it in the macro : gmsh_bin = "/Applications/Gmsh.app/Contents/MacOS/gmsh" but As Blacey said, Netgen is now include in 0.16 version, so you no longer need GMSH for the first problem, I guess that's a path name problem, as you said, but unfortunately a I can't help you,...

Hello!
if Some Mac user can test it :
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15215

just to know if it's a real drawback from OCC version, or if it's a problem from my configuration or file.

thanks
