Sheet Metal Workbench

I think there is no use in repairing this model. I recommend to keep the sketches and remodel it in a current 0.18 version.

Hello,

ad now the "create a sheet metal wall from sketch" do not highlist with a selected sketch. Can someone helps me?

I didn't even know the tool had been added, (I remember the discussion about splitting it from the Wall tool months ago), thanks for the info!

You seem to be using the release from the freecad-stable PPA, correct? I confirm that the tool is inactive with Python3, but it works in Python2.

To switch your FreeCAD to use Python2, make sure that the freecad-python2 package is installed, then in a terminal paste:

Code: Select all

sudo update-alternatives --config freecad

This will bring a choice to toggle between freecad-pyhon2 and freecad-python3.

ping

Can you have a look? Most 0.18 installers are being built with Python3, the freecad PPA on Ubuntu is the only installation that can easily be switched between Python 2 and 3.

Thanks!

hi and thx, that's the output from the terminal, in any case do you think there will be un update to python3?

Code: Select all

 → sudo update-alternatives --config freecad
 
There is only one alternative in link group freecad (providing /usr/bin/freecad): /usr/lib/freecad/bin/freecad-python3
Nothing to configure.

do you think there will be un update to python3?

I'm not the developer of the Sheet Metal workbench, how could I possibly know?

Thx for the kindness.
