Up to face (and last and first) mode for an Pad or Pocket feature is not able when a face is selected instead a sketch.
We can redraw a sketch from this face, but it's could be useful and faster for a complex shape that can change itself.

Re: Request Feature: Pad up to face for a face
A Pad up to the face will not work even if it is a Bspline surface. And if surfaces have several patches it unfortunately doesn't work either. This is a bug that should be fixed.

From the formal side I'm not sure if it is a bug or a feature request.freecad-heini-1 wrote: ↑Sun May 24, 2020 6:23 am A Pad up to the face will not work even if it is a Bspline surface. And if surfaces have several patches it unfortunately doesn't work either. This is a bug that should be fixed.
The two previous requirements are difficult to reconcile. While it is clear to me where the selected face in GlouGlou's example should end it is not at all clear with a curved surface. Could you elaborate on that?
I have another request which could very well be combined with GlouGlou's request: With sketches being detached form a surface it would very often come handy to have not only "up to first" but rather "up to second". That would be toponaming safe as opposed to explicitely selecting the face.

Up to face means up to the face, without ifs and buts, see Onshape:chrisb wrote: ↑Sun May 24, 2020 7:20 amFrom the formal side I'm not sure if it is a bug or a feature request.freecad-heini-1 wrote: ↑Sun May 24, 2020 6:23 am A Pad up to the face will not work even if it is a Bspline surface.

In other CAD systems, one or more surfaces are selected and then extruded up to these surfaces. What is not understandable about this?
Good idea. Take a look at the Top5 closed source 3D-CAD programs that have such a function - and extruding up to a selected face is common practice, because topo-naming problems are almost non-existent with these programs. Realthunder has the topo-naming problem quite well under control.chrisb wrote: ↑Sun May 24, 2020 7:20 am I have another request which could very well be combined with GlouGlou's request: With sketches being detached form a surface it would very often come handy to have not only "up to first" but rather "up to second".

If there is a face everywhere you are right. But I cannot see from the image nor did you tell how and where the part is continued beyond the existing face.freecad-heini-1 wrote: ↑Sun May 24, 2020 9:00 am Up to face means up to the face, without ifs and buts, see Onshape:
I agree on this selection of multiple faces, and the meaning is rather clear to me. The problems occur with the extensions where none of the faces is met. And there it is not very helpful to quote other systems, because not everybody has access to those systems.In other CAD systems, one or more surfaces are selected and then extruded up to these surfaces. What is not understandable about this?
If you consider such a model ... ... and you want to pad the green face up to the yellow. Where should it end? How should it follow the arcs? How should the definition for such behaviour look like?
I attach the model, because the 2D image may not show all aspects of the 3D model. Perhaps you can create a mockup?

Re: Request Feature: Pad up to face for a face
Frankly, I don't see why you want to complicate things unnecessarily.
GlouGlou had pointed out that a pad to face does not work in PartDesign as expected. Therefore he had provided a picture with an arrow, for me the task was understandable. I tried it and found out that GlouGlou is right. I suspect a bug. Pad to Face should definitely be able to extrude to faces, to contiguous bpline faces and to those that consist of several patches - and for me it's clear that this should be geometrically possible up to face, like when you intentionally extrude much longer and then cut to the desired face via a boolean cut.
Unfortunately I can't do anything with your example. What should be extruded where? Please describe in detail.

I had already written that we need a geometrically solvable geometry. A large square does not fit into a smaller sphere.chrisb wrote: ↑Sun May 24, 2020 1:15 pm If youIf it's all that clear, please tell me how the result in my example should look like if youfreecad-heini-1 wrote: ↑Sun May 24, 2020 1:01 pm Unfortunately I can't do anything with your example.
