Re: Assembly3 preview

Probably relevant: Assembly3: Consider enabling SolveSpace flag Group.allowRedundant I've checked that flag. It mostly seem to be used by the SolverSpace GUI to not report redundant constraint as error. The solver itself does not use that flag, and will report status as 'solve with redundancy', whi...

Re: PR#2862: Configuration Table using Spreadsheet

Is it possible to use strings in a configuration table? A usecase would be to create a configuration table in which a column of data have metric sizes (i.e. M5, M6, M8, etc) to be used with the Hole feature of the PartDesign WB. For the moment the Hole feature in the Size drop-down list don't accep...

Re: Assembly3 Angle constraint give me headaches

Just don't use the angle constraint. Instead, use any constraint that has a Lock angle option, and animate the Angle property. The most obvious one is the PlaneCoincident constraint. Attachment would be better, but for that you need to change the constraining element's Offset property instead. Not s...

Re: About "Features of PartDesign" change causing "Solve for ASM3" exception,please help

Based on your description and screenshot, it looks like a classic TopoNaming problem. And since you are using the upstream FreeCAD, it is kind of inevitable. The best I can suggest is to create element in as early as possible in body features, so that modification in later modeling steps won't affec...

Re: Snaping point is not displayed

The issue is mostly about the questionable choice of white color for the snap point. In your OP, you are trying to show the snapping point of the moving object, which is a rare case I'd say. I expect in most cases, the user would want to snap to other objects, hence without selection highlight, make...

Re: What is the best path into V1.0

Yes, the unification of assembly container has to be done eventually, but it's not the first priority of the next release. I'm not sure there will be time for it. I do hope though.

Re: (is already reported) Sketcher is having trouble snapping to the backside of a sketch

Yes, I have this implemented in my branch, which is quite involved, meaning a big PR is expected. In addition, due to the recent big ViewProviderSketcher change in upstream, it'll take me some time to merge with the upstream first before a PR is possible. My implementation is to render sketch editin...

Re: Help with computing shared face.

Thank you. The parent, path material for traversing the document tree with links was very helpful. I hadn't been able to figure it out through my own explorations. Is there more documentation of getSubObject(s) somewhere? You're welcome. Not sure if there is other dedicated documentation for this, ...

Re: Help with computing shared face.

Here is my take. shape1 = App.ActiveDocument.World.getSubObject('Detector.GDMLBox_det.') shape2 = App.ActiveDocument.World.getSubObject('Detector001.GDMLBox_det.') for i, face1 in enumerate(shape1.Faces): center1 = face1.BoundBox.Center vertices1 = face1.Vertexes for j, face2 in enumerate(shape2.Fac...
