I would like to model a garage door with assembly 3 workbench. I modelled the frame, the two door panels, and also the hinges.
But I can not figure out how to put the hinge on the door panel with the assembly3 workbench.
My end goal is to be able to rotate the doorpanel around the hinge, and make small adjustment before I weld it on in real life.
Here are some pictures, and I also attached the freecad model itself.

I've been using the Freecad-Daily PPA for a while, to enjoy the goodness of the latest developments, and automatic updates on ubuntu, and I wanted to know if it's possible to bolt assembly3 to it. Since it's based on the master git, it should include solvespace and other required libraries right? Appimages are bloated.
In an ideal world, I would like to git clone the repo somewhere, symlink asm3 to .FreeCAD/MOD/ and call it a day with regular git pulls to keep it updated. However, that doesn't seem to work. Maybe I'm missing something obvious though.

Normally, you would group (i.e. create a sub-assembly) all immovable parts together, and assembly them like a single part in some upper assembly. So just group one part of the hinge with the frame using either Attachment (prefered) or PlaneCoincidence constraint, group the other part with the door similarly, and then create the master assembly with these two parts using a PlaneCoincidence.
Try Assembly3 with my custom build of FreeCAD at here.

You can use the upstream AppImage which includes everything I believe. You can update AppImage as well using Preference->AppImage dialog. Or you can try my personal release of AppImage, which contains lots of extra features. I usually sync with upstream master every month or two.

Is it worth updating the Conda builds that have Asm3 included to have the gui.py fix and therefore stop future reports or is this all done automatically?
