Hi all,
recent adopter of FreeCAD just got finished with making a couple parts and printed them out a couple days ago. But today when I opened up the files to make changes I could only see the part in top view and all of the sketches could only be seen from the view they were made in. I don't think I had this issue before I exported to .stl is there anything I can do to fix this?
thanks

Re: model only visible from top view
This should go to Help subforum. You can start by reading the IMPORTANT link ot top there and providing some more info: your FreeCAD version, screenshot of the problem, file with the problem, ... By your explanation I at least have not experienced such problem. There is a clipping plane problem sometimes. Model is clipped in half when rotated. But "View/Standart views/Fit all" usually fixes that.

"View/Standard views/Fit all" fixed the problem I was having. for future reference where is the help forum? I looked for a bit but couldn't find one so i just posted here.
thanks for the help

Hey, glad you got sorted.
The help forum is literally the first one on the forum board index and is named "Help on using Freecad".

Re: model only visible from top view
I think that information is to distinguish it from help for python scripting. Perhaps it should be reworded?
