Feature Request: Substractive Revolution.
Suppose a sketcth S is made on a face of certain body B , then the revolution of S, say R , is made so that R be into B.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a tool for getting the "pocket" P resulting from P = B -R?

Re: Feature Request: Substractive Revolution.
Doesn't Groove do it?
Re: Feature Request: Substractive Revolution.
Exactly.
For some unknown reason, groove was not working in my freecad, but now it is.
How could I delete my question?

Re: Feature Request: Substractive Revolution.
Thanks a lot.
By the way, in the FC version I am using, groove does not appear automatically when selecting it (as it does when, for example, revolution is applied) The axis has to be (re)selected for groove to take place. Is it a micro bug?

- Pad the sketch.
- Select a face of the pad make a second sketch on it: a vertical straight segment with a arc forming a "D"
- Place the segment on the vertical axis.
- Close the sketch.

Re: Feature Request: Substractive Revolution.
I had seen similar even with recent 0.19 but it was no bother because usually I just select different axis anyway and confirm.
Re: Feature Request: Substractive Revolution.
DeepSOIC asked for a file, although the step by step description is not difficult. Please consider that everyone who wants to take part in the discussion has to go through it, which is in fact a waste of time, so I attach my file here.
- load file
- select Sketch001
- click the groove icon
Here it works well, the screenshot was made directly after the click on the groove tool. Please retry with a current 0.19 version. Since new versions contain not only new things but also many bug fixes. You should always check if the bug is already removed in the current version. -

MIcro bug?
- Load grooveF.FCStd

- On Tasks tab, click on Groove. (you'll see just a a circle, even though Vertical sketch axis is selected by default)
- Select an axis or press Ok and then the groove will appear.
