Issue/leftovers after subtractive sweep

Post by silentjet »

Hi,
it seems I found an issue, but not sure if it is for real or maybe I did something wrong...
I have a pretty much standard rectangular box, and I wanted to make a round cutout on top of it.
So I prepared shape and path and did a subtractive sweep which looks exactly like i expected.

However, the object/body exported to STL/OBJ immediately showed a sweep artifact, which is not really visible in original FreeCAD project while designing it.

I solved this situation by doing one more similar sweep but in another plane.

Doing the sweep's section up to the center causes forbidden self intersections. You should use the simpler Groove tool anyway.

Is there an OCC version which can handle (such) self intersections?
