Path Missing 3D Surface (OCL and EnableExperimentalFeatures are OK)

[freecader2]

Hi,

I ran in to a problem that I can't find any troubleshooting for on the forums. I'd like to use the 3D surface operation. It was working a couple months ago using an AppImage build. But now on a more recent AppImage build (24267) and also compiled from git, the 3D surface operation isn't available (no icon or menu item to select).

Here's what I know so far:
1) Opencamlib is installed and available to FC.

>>> import ocl
>>> dir(ocl)
['AdaptivePathDropCutter', 'AdaptivePathDropCutter_base', 'AdaptiveWaterline',... ... ...

2) EnableExperimentalFeatures = true. I've never changed it since the time when 3D surface was working for me.

3) The 3D Path menu and toolbar only have 3D Pocket available, no 3D Surface or the other one (was it called 3D Waterline or something like that?)

Does anyone have any ideas about what else I may need to do to be able to use the 3D surface operation again?

Thanks!

Moved to Path forum.
This was answered recently, check the forum, it's somewhere in the preferences. (I can check later).

[chrisb]

You have to check Preferences->Path->Advanced->Enable OCL dependent features. I will add it to the documentation.

I will add it to the documentation.

Done: Path 3DSurface and Path Waterline. Is it sufficient to say "Check Preferences ..." Or should it be "Check the Checkbox in Preferences..."?

[freecader2]

That worked, thank you very much. That additional step you put in the docs looks fine.

Now I have the same issue with the latest git version:

Opencamlib is enabled in the preferences.

<class 'AttributeError'>: module 'ocl' has no attribute 'CylCutter'

Edit:
possibly a build issue, I did not see the documentation about this before:

(I'll test later and update this post when I'm back...)
