Independent of whether your workflow is correct, wrong, good or bad such an error shouldn't occur. Could you give step-by-step instruction how to get into this state, please? Maybe we could fix this then before the 0.17 release. OK, I'll do that, I'll put each issue I ran into and will be able to r...

OK, I found 1 workaround: To model the other part in a separate file and then copy&paste it into the target file. Then there are no troubles. I am still interested in comments regarding a proper recommended procedure.

Hello, this is related to development version 0.17 and it's new topology. Perhaps I am doing something incorrectly with my attempts of multibody part. The reason for a multibody part is, that I need to process it with FEM later and it should be easier to model it in one part, do a boolean fusion and...

Thank you for the links and your example. Thumbs up! Looks like exactly what I was looking for

Hi, I would like to know, what's the best practice/trick/workaround for applying a force only to a portion of the surface area of the part . It is easy to apply the force to whole surface area of a selected face and works great. However, what I need (and is needed quite often in general), is to appl...

@RealThunder: There's one thing I came across during the testing lately, it's the naming of the constraints. They're all grouped in 1 folder and have generic names (like PlaneCoincident1). Very soon one gets lost in the names, even with small assemblies, and all the time searches for the right const...

Yes that would definitely explain the results i am getting. When using most of "the standard" relations. I had a feeling SolveSpace shouldn't have an issue with robustness to such extent. PlaneAlignment is a composite constraint and it removes 3 DOF. When used on a two cube example above....

Super! Now it works really great.
