Need to check Face.Orientation? If Orientation is "Reversed", the normal will point in the opposite direction.
Ehr.... What? :oops:

Re: A2 & A2Plus: - or + offset between parts

Hi Koemi, i always struggle with these orientations too. I am nearly always wrong. I think, some normals of faces have unexpected directions. I was searching for other posts about this issue and could not find any :?: And I also have the feeling that I am nearly always wrong. :cry: Maybe that someo...

A2 & A2Plus: - or + offset between parts

Sometimes when I am working with the A2 and A2Plus WB I need some distance between two parts. My natural feeling says that a positive value would create more distance between the parts and a negative value should cause the parts to overlap. But the assembly workbenches work differently. Sometimes th...

Re: Another approach to assembly solver (A2plus)

Version v0.1 will be according state of devel now, with my simplified partial solver. It should be as stable as possible. Very eager to try the first official release! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Could you please be so kind to rewrite your signature (I think how it is called...) when V0.1 is up and running...

Re: AS2 suddenly cannot solve anymore?

And somehow now it works again... :|

Ok. Toptip from Koemi:

DO NOT USE THE 'USE SOLVER CACHE' FEATURE @PREFERENCES INSIDE THE ASSEMBLY2 SETTINGS

@kbwbe and all the other people doing a terrific job at developing AS2Plus: remove or adapt this setting please. :geek:

Re: Assembly2_refuses "3rd" constraint..? and Parts go up in smoke?

The A2Plus WB is THE workbench I have been waiting for, so keep up the good work! The waiting / solver / recomputing time of AS2 is by far the biggest reason to stop working with FreeCAD and buy a very pricy alternative. If this time consuming thing is solved, there is no reason to think of why the ...
