Re: Pocket Breaks - No Errors

Works fine here. I used Through All for the type and symmetric to plane.

Re: How do you control normals on Part Workbench faces in a way that keeps them parametric?

Thanks, Ed. I had caught that typo and fixed it in my local copy, but forgot to update the code in the post.

Re: How to add half pipe on top of pad?

You can do it with another pad, this time the sketch being comprised of 2 arcs and connecting line segments. This sketch can be positioned on the YZ plane, if desired.

Re: Order of entities when using additive pipe

Give the constraint a name, and then you can reference it as <<Sketch label>>.Constraints.name

Re: Order of entities when using additive pipe

Take a look at Macro_WireFilter. The wire orders are shown in color: Red = Wire1, Green = Wire2, Blue = Wire3, Cyan = Wire4, Magenta = Wire5, Yellow = Wire6. These wires are connected Wire1 to Wire1, etc.

Re: Constraints Visible but the lines of the shape not

Read the post on Known specific OS issues, too. Something there might be relevant (or might not).

Re: Add features to one side of slice

Changes in the original object should automatically get propagated into the slice parts. If not, try doing a full recompute. Right click on the document label in the tree, select mark to recompute. Failing that, try deleting and redoing the slice.

Re: How do you control normals on Part Workbench faces in a way that keeps them parametric?

In the .FCMacro file you could also add:

obj.ViewObject.Visibility = False

if you want to hide the original automatically.

Also, failed to mention: only run the .FCMacro file, not the .py file, which is not meant to be run directly.

Re: How do you control normals on Part Workbench faces in a way that keeps them parametric?

The order of creation of the points might be what is happening with the face normals. For a triangle face there are 3 vertices. I have discovered while developing MeshRemodel workbench that if the points are selected in counter-clockwise order versus clockwise order it makes the difference between t...

Re: How can I make remove this line from shape?

Refine does not work in the case of cylindrical shapes, it works on coplaner/colinear edges and faces. Try this experiment: Create 2 default Cylinders in Part workbench. Move one of them up in the z direction. Do a Part::Union on them. Now you should have multiple edges in the form of circles. Refi...
