Re: How to manage part variants effectively?

You can combine sketches with a PartDesign_SubShapeBinder. Expressions can be used to change the Support property of the binder.

Std_Expressions usage?

In the context menu of the Tree view there is an "Expression actions" submenu. This allows to copy and paste expressions with Std_Expressions. But I wonder about its practical usage. Expression are copied in this format: ##@@ Height Unnamed#Cylinder001.ExpressionEngine (Cylinder001) ##@@ B...

Re: Fusing results in an infinitely negative bounding box

The BoundBox is 'infinite' (with both positive and negative coords). It just means that the shape is empty. The problem may be due to the B-splines used to create the faces, and there may also be a co-planar issue. If you enlarge the horizontal panel of the shell (I have made it an inch thicker and ...
