Re: Curves workbench
… concerning "ReflectLines" => I nearly understand:
The outmost contour line of a body, seen from a certain view direction.
Editable by DataTab.
(They sometimes disappear "into" the body???)

Re: Curves workbench
It just create a document object, from the shape function that Werner added recently.
I don't do any other treatment.
And I am not sure the UpDir and ViewPos properties have any influence on the result ???

great that this tool now has it's place in your curves-workbench.
But I'm sorry, something is wrong compared to what I tried with Werner original macro.
In the original macro I set the direction in vieport.
Please try it by yourself with my sample part:

Re: Curves workbench
OK. Fixed.
The ReflectLines object is now created with current view direction.
If the tool is activated on an already existing ReflectLines object, it will update its ViewPos, ViewDir, and UpDir properties.
I added an icon too.

Re: Curves workbench
Woho, Chris you already did it! I was thinking to wait a bit longer so it would get tested a bit more before asking you if you would have interest to add it... Awesome!
You have added the options to the properties view, which I think is great and I was hopping you would do that in your implementation. However there is one more thing Werner did in his demo code, that is to pick an object (as you already do) or individual faces, and this has proved to be very useful. https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 70#p289313
In the future I could maybe also find it nice if we would have the possibility to pick an element as an reference object for the view direction (ex. line, edge, axis of an coordinate system)

Re: Curves workbench
It should now work with individual faces.

Re: Curves workbench
I'm trying to make fillet, but CurveOnSurface should be extended to the end of his "mother" surface. Could be a future option?
