Hi
FreeCad newbie here wondering what I am doing wrong.
I have been working on a more complex project for 3D printing and I started using the spreadsheet tool to set dimensions.
If I change a dimension in the spreadsheet my whole project blows up. I am sure I have done something wrong and this has happened to me a couple of times so far. The attached file is what i have been working on in Part design to give an example.
Look at Sketch018. everything looks OK
Now I change the value in spreadsheet row 12 "Side Wall Thickness Dove" from 10 to 15 it seems to break a lot of sketches.
Spreadsheet row 1 OuterW increase by 5mm as it should.
Now if I view Sketch018 it looks like it is on a different plane and my project is now borked big time.
Any suggestions on what i am messing up?
TIA
Glenn

Re: Changing spreadsheet value not working as expected
This is why you should not be attaching sketches to faces. For example, instead of attaching Sketch018 to that face attach it to the xy_plane and set it's attachment z offset to Spreadsheet.OuterH + Spreadsheet.BotThick. There are other sketches that probably need to be similarly re-attached to one of the major planes. Fillets are also somewhat finicky, but I think your main problem is the topological naming issue.

A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.

Thanks for looking at it. I thought attaching a sketch to a face was the proper way to do it. Part of learning I guess.
