Hi,
it took a while to find this post, but here I am.
I'm trying to find out how the SheetMetal tools work to generate some examples to show on the wiki pages.
I think there are useful new tools added to the workbench, but the documentation is... - let's say poor. At least I have found some information that is deeply hidden in this thread.
Now, while I'm trying to recreate the examples of this thread, I found an error in the Extend Face tool:
- I activated a sketch
- I set the offset to 3 mm
- I set the Use Substraction value to true and this is what happened:

The slot is always positioned within the cylindrical connection surface. If I omit the last wall it will appear in the lower bend.
It doesn't matter which recent FC version I use the result is the same. I tried 0.20.255xx, RT daily and RT stable on a Mac with Big Sur and on a Mac with an older OS. And so I don't think it's due to a crazy hardware & software combination.
BTW is there any cause for the second s in sub
straction?
