Hello,
I'm just newbie in the FreeCAD, I'm playing with it the second evening. I'm trying to create little unconventional wing for RC model "UFO" style for 3D print technology. But I have some problems:
1) B-Spline problem. It looks that the B-Spline works just with small amount of points. If the amount of points is bigger than some number, the spline start doing unexpected things. See the file spline-problem.png. The airfoil was imported from file of points and it made DWire - flat surface bounded by lines based on the points. Then it was converted in Draft workbench to the B-Spline and changed to open spline. See the b-spline-problem.fcstd and spline-problem.png. When I tried another way, degrade the DWire airfoil to the points and create the B-Spline manually, it looks that FreeCAD B-Spline works well to some number of points. Am I right, or am I missing something - doing something wrong?
2) Sketch problem. When am I working on a geometry and there is more objects, the sketch creation makes problems. It looks to me that the sketches are created randomly inside the feature tree. I have active some feature or node (or how does it called in FreeCAD), but the sketch is created somewhere elsewhere. I have to seek where was the sketch created and then move it where I want to have it. It is quit annoying. Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug? See the file wing.fcstd and try to make new sketch in Part Design.
Thanks for answer

Re: Bspline and sketch problems
I sort of can confirm the issue here, but at a second look it seems to be ok: There is exactly one body now in your model, "Wing spar" and the sketch is correctly inserted there. It might seem random only because you have buried the body deep in the Part tree.martin.proks wrote: ↑Mon May 14, 2018 11:50 pm 2) Sketch problem.

If you want it at top level, create a new body first.
