Cannot create face from default Cube vertices in Part/Shapebuilder?

Hi all,

Code: Select all

OS: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Word size of OS: 64-bit

Build type: Release

Qt version: 4.8.7
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.3.0

This is all I'm doing, in a fresh empty document:

• Place a Part/Primitives/Cube
• Select Part/Shape builder...
• Choose "Face from vertices" in Tasks tab for Shape Builder
• Choose four vertices from the Cube
• Check "Planar"

Then I hit Create - and the process fails with:

Code: Select all

Failed to created face with no constraints

The Selection view confirms my selection consists of 4 vertices (the selection filter/gate would of Shape builder would not let me select anything other than a vertex, anyways).

I really don't get it - I've used this tool with .STEP models, it worked - but when I try it with the Part default cube, it doesn't? Why - and how could I get a face by copying these four vertices?

Hello,

I'm getting this error only if I don't check "Planar". If I check it, then the face is created without issue. I've tried with any combination of 3 or 4 vertices on a Part Cube with default values.

Your version is a little outdated. Are you compiling, or using the freecad-daily PPA?
