[Solved] The body is not visible inside part when creating a sketch

[dcapeletti]

Hello, I have a problem that disappears the body or does not become visible when I want to create a emptying operation on a face.
The problem arises when I create a Body inside Part, but if I create a Body without a Part, the part object is shown correctly and I can draw a plane over it without problems and I can see the object correctly.
I hope they can determine if I'm doing something wrong or it's a bug. Thanks

Part (container) visibility overides contained things visibility property. If Part is visible you can toggle visibility of its components. But if you hide the Part everything under it is also hidden regardless of its visibility state.

And why does Part become invisible when I create a sketch about Body? How can I make it visible by default when creating a sketch. Thanks

Not sure how did you get there. By default when Part is created it is visible. Could you describe exact steps that will reproduce that? I just tried New file, create part, create body under it, create sketch, draw rectangle, close sketch - all is visible as expected.
Also please provide FreeCAD About info.

1- Create new document
2- Create a part
3- Create a body
4- Create a sketch and give it volume
5- On one side of the pad, create a new sketch. When entering sketch editing mode the part becomes invisible, but if I close the edit of the sketch and open it again, the part is shown again. This does not happen if the container part does not exist.

This is maybe how the Sketcher works at the moment. In most cases when creating a sketch you only want the current body to be visible, so it probably hides everything else temporarily. Obviously this doesn't work correctly if your body is inside a Std_Part because as mentioned, the Part overrides the visibility.

This doesn't solve your problem obviously but I wonder, can't you just add the Std_Part at the end of the modelling process? Adding a Std_Part at the beginning of the document seems unusual to me. Are you modelling with other Parts in the document already? Is your intention to create an assembly with other parts already imported? If that's the case, then maybe you can move the Body inside the Std_Part just to test the location, and outside to model.

In Preferences->Sketcher there is a section "Visibility automation". It may help with your issue, e.g. by unchecking all of these.

Unchecking the Hide all objects that depend on the sketch option has solved my problem. Thanks

ahh, this has also solved the problem for me as well!
