Freecad 0.16 to 0.17 quick wins

Post by soaring »

Hello !

After asking a lot, it's my time to share !

i wrote a quick document to set tips and solutions i found
during my 0.17 learning curve.

It's a point of view of a 0.16 user who needs to forget and learn again, it can be helpfull for other and time saver.

Don't hesitate to post, comment and leave me message, hope this help !

One more, when you do a Boolean of Bodies, you are not really able to get to the geometry inside the Bodies, but if you select the Boolean in the tree and change the View property "Display" from "Results" to "Tools" then you will be in sort of edit mode and will be able to see and work with it normally. But remember to set it back to "Results" once you are done.

Thank you Harry :-)

I've just updated it to take in account Norman posts and other feedback. I also inserted links to Wiki pages created by Norman (information published on Google+) regarding body and boolean.

Changelog :
---------------

- additional information (fix) on "Part" usage
- detail on boolean operation in PartDesign Next workbench, regarding answers to my questions, on some trouble i had, and forum reading about it.
