I normally do it to make the placement of a sketch more "independent" of changes I make to an earlier stage of the model. Of course, this doesn't work all of the time (and it definitely does not work when I attach a DatumPlane to a regular model plane), but this is the main reason I often do it.chrisb wrote: ↑Mon Apr 26, 2021 7:37 pm Always using DatumPlanes seems to be a case of personal preferences. In general I use DatumPlanes only if I have more than one sketch in the same plane, and even then I often attach one sketch to another. I do this because it keeps the model tree cleaner. Planes have the advantage, that you can make them directly visible.
What's OCC? Is it this (not that I would know now, I just found a wiki article and wanted to share )?I am not sure and would like to add an additional model, where I replaced the loft with a pad. The instances don't overlap as well, but the Pattern works anyway.
I would guess that it is an OCC issue, but as I'm not sure please add a ticket.
However, I will open a ticket...
