Hello,
I'm trying to make dice but I'm struggling with the numbers. I'm using ShapeString to create the number. Then when I use Pocket to try to cut the ShapeString it shows the outline of the cut when I click on the Pocket but the number did not make an indention. If I change the Pocket dimension to go through the die it then shows the number was cut through the back but it's a much larger cut. It's not making an indention/cut on the actual face.
I'm new to FreeCad and I'm not sure what's causing this. I've made a d6 with numbers and using Pocket on ShapeString worked very well. But maybe since I used the Create Primitives & Shape Builder Feature for the d4 the Pocket Feature isn't working? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong (I need to go back in and change the shape of the die because the shape of the d4 doesn't have the point centered). Any advice is appreciated!

Re: Pocket Does Not Cut Through
Welcome to the forum,
You start with a polygon and a vertex.
Next thing to do is make a loft in Part wb.
Extrude the shapestring,
Make a Cut in Part wb between the Loft and the Extrude
