Unable to view object

Post by ebolisa »

Hi,

When I click on pocket I see the object. When I click on lug, I also see the object. However, I cannot see them both - the lug should be in the pocket's object.
What am I doing wrong?

TIA

This looks as if the last pad is not connected to the rest. As this violates the single solid rule, one of the two solids is discarded.

Ok, I just cannot get the screw support at the box's corners. Here's the code:

Your file doesn't include the the final pad. If I add it, I see the same issue as you do. As a first workaround you can use for the Pad the Type=TwoLengths, with a tiny second length of e.g. 0.1mm.
I will investigate this further.

The problem was your invalid sketch (here already fixed):

The inner circle must not touch the outer borders.

BTW: repeated dimensions always have a bad smell. Better replace all but one with geometric constraints (may need additional construction geometry).
