Hey freecad
Lets say i have a randomly oriented body and a vector going through the body at an angle.
Is it possible to get the thickness of the material through the vector?
Is it possible to get the thickness if it was an stl?
Thanks

Maybe you need a special feature, go into Macros_recipes and Code_snippets, Topological_data_scripting.

Re: Getting material thickness through a vector
I think the Sheet Metal workbench does this internally, if you try to unfold an arbitrary solid (instead of a thin folded sheet) it will complain that it couldn't detect the thickness of the solid, and leaves in the scene a vector going (partly) through the solid to show where it failed.
