Body features are not being displayed.

Post by leoheck »

I am experiencing some issues with Freecad for the last 2 days.
It is getting slow and it cannot show intermediate features inside the Part Design Body.
It shows only the last feature
Any know issues?

Still seeing the same issue with the body here in this version.
Setting the feature as a tip works to show it.

I have never seen this. Can you upload or link an example?

You just forgot since it has not been brought recently :)

In the bodys View properties check that the "Display Mode Body" is set to "Through". If it is "Tip" only the Tip is displayed.

Good point. This can happen with some addon workbenches. I think Lattice is an example which changes "Display Mode Body".

Cool, this is the trick. Thank you kisolre. I was thinking my files were getting defective.
So, this was added recently and then the default value was set to tip? It looks pretty bad having this as a tip as default, but now I know how this is working. Thanks.

No, I think it is from beginning of PartDesign. But as ChrisB mentioned some WB might set mode to Tip by default. I think that Part-O-Matic did that but I am not sure.

Oh, just by having the plugin installed it could have changed this property? This is not good.

I have updated one particular plugin this week. The A2Plus. I am going to check with Kbwbe if he knows about it. Maybe this one is the culprit.

I think you are right, it was one of DeepSOIC's WBs.
