Looking for explanations of special displays in the project tree.
- Blue dot with a white tick - actually looks positive, but most other icons are fine without this marking.
- red dot with an exclamation mark - looks dangerous, but works anyway. ToolTip texts also appear. At the first occurrence (Fillet_hinten) "Fillet not possible on selected shape", the screenshot proves the opposite. On the second occurrence (Fillet_HO) a discreet "Error", also without the expected result. Because of the size of the file (over 2.2 MB) I can only make it available via Dropbox.

* Blue : the recompute is ok
* Red : error. Downstream cannot be recomputed and is in the last recomputable state

Re: Looking for explanations of special displays in the project tree.
* Your sketches should always have a support
* In sketcher you should reduce the dimensions to minimal, using geometrical constraints instead (eg. no twice the same dimension)
* Your Loft should be a Revolution+Pocket
* You should not write 42mm in each sketches but use External geometry tool to catch it in the 1st sketch.
* Fillet radius in sketch should be modifiable without modifying the rest of the sketch.
* Luft : PartDesign_MultiTransform with 2*Mirror
* KohlenPocket+Pocket007 : could be done in just one pocket (then Mirror)
* Some Fillets should be done at the 1st moment here (at the last for others)

Re: Looking for explanations of special displays in the project tree.
There is indeed a strange situation hiding behind this. A few days ago, when I was making my first attempts at working with Assembly 4, I asked about the differences between some icons, namely icons that look the same and are supposed to perform the same tasks in the workbenches, but obviously do not. The Create Sketch icon reacts differently from Part Design than from Assembly 4.
Why is it so important that a value is entered in the Support field? But it seems to work without it!
I will refer to the other comments later.

Re: Looking for explanations of special displays in the project tree.
The blue icon is "marked for recompute" (see corresponding item in the popup menu). It's not yet done (and can't, because of the red marked error further down the tree).Shalmeneser wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 9:37 am * Blue : the recompute is ok

Re: Looking for explanations of special displays in the project tree.
Sometimes I remove the support. It is not required, but stuff can move around unexpectedly if it is not in place.
Experience, both good and especially bad, will tell you how to proceed.

Re: Looking for explanations of special displays in the project tree.
I'm still wondering and can't close my mouth.
BTW How did you get the state for dimension 20?
What does this state mean?
What is the blue collered icon?
Thank you for your ideas. That is a completely different way of thinking.
