TechDraw - section view through a hole - problem in the center
Hello,
I modelled a simple pencil sharpener with WB PartDesign and try to represent it with WB TechDraw. (latest FC-Version)
My problem is a section view. It works fine, as long it's outside of the center of the two holes (cylindric made by pocket and conic by groove).
In the screenshot "Section - 001" is OK, but "Section -" shows the grooved grips, which are outside of the sharpener and shouldn't be shown in a section view.
"Section -" works correct, when I
- change Property - Section - Section Origin - Y = 2,9 or Y = 3,1 (instead Y = 3 in the center of the holes)
- disable the view of the grooved grips (see "Section - 001" in the screenshot).
- delete the cylindric hole (Pocket002)
When I delete the pocket for the blade on top of the sharpener (Pocket001) other negative effects take place and the inside parts of the section views change.
Do you know where the problem is?
Thank you!

Re: TechDraw - section view though a hole - problem in the center
you do Y = 2.7mm it's OK
Y = 3 it doesn't work: coplar problem
Y = 3 it doesn't work: coplar problem

Re: TechDraw - section view though a hole - problem in the center
TechDraw operates - of course - on the generated geometry and is thus affected by the topological naming problem.
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.

Thank you for your answer!papyblaise wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 5:36 pm you do Y = 2.7mm it's OK

Y=2,7 mm OK, Y=3 mm not OK, that's it.
But what is "coplar probleme"?

TNP in TechDraw is no good news, but in my current question it's a minor problem.chrisb wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 5:52 pm TechDraw operates - of course - on the generated geometry and is thus affected by the topological naming problem.

Re: TechDraw - section view through a hole - problem in the center
Sorry : coplanar problem
Re: TechDraw - section view through a hole - problem in the center
No problem, I thought, you did mean it.
But what is the problem?
To be exact: In the moment this is NO problem for me.
My Problem is: How to get the Section View in the center of the holes?
Maybe without tricks 'n' cheats?
Re: TechDraw - section view through a hole - problem in the center
OK, I found the explanation of the problem in "Round corner minus Cylinder inverts Body" (https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=64315).
As far as I understand: The case is, that the sketch of the cone is coplanar to the section line (section plane). The problem is, that the kernel of FreeCAD can not handle this case (always) correct. And the solution (for the user) is to move the section line a small distance.
Thank you for your notes!
Re: TechDraw - section view through a hole - problem in the center
In some case this is related to the "seam" of the shape.
FreeCAD has to compute some "lengths" at the intersection point, but as cylinder have 3 faces, top, bottom, and external "face" that is a sort of "rolled face" around the cylinder, there is the seam, in this point some "lengths" maybe related to tangents, or similar things, gave some "undefined" or "impossible" values (tangent has similar "non calculable" points).
Sometimes if this is the case, a simple rotation around axis, to move the seam away from this intersection points, will make things "work as expected".
But I think that this is not explained in documentation yet, or maybe if is cited is not very "visible".
Sadly I can't be more precise, but there were some discussion some time ago, and I'm using my "memory impaired" mind so reminding is not very precise.

Re: TechDraw - section view through a hole - problem in the center
In your example, a revolution of less than 360° erase the seam but the problem continues.
