That is correct. Fillet and chamfer can not consume adjacent edges or faces.

Re: a2plus vs Assembly4
Hi, a2plus vs Assembly4, Which one is better? Any advise in using this tools? Which one do you recommend? Thank you! You may want to wait a bit or get the 0.22 development version which has the integrated assembly workbench. It is new and will only continue to mature. On the FreeCAD download web pa...

Re: Best way to center objects
Dr Marco thanks for the valuable comments. I definitely agree that "The tutorials are, typically, long on the "do this...", but short on the why". Perhaps it is my way of learning but I want to know the fundamentals first before diving into the "design of the Space Shuttle&...

Re: Chamfer fillet to a shared edge?
Hello, I just started to learn Freecad and I was wondering if in a future Freecad releases the program will be able to chamfer or fillet to a shared edge? There is a huge complaint list on a forum about the freecad features and one complaint is about chamfering (nr. 69). Blender can easily do that ...

Re: Best way to center objects
It is definitely good to think things through and organize before charging off to create a model. Often I consider how to approach the model, then after doing a bit, I realize, a different approach will be easier or more robust. Sometimes it is best to fix the earlier things before going too far. Th...

Re: How to union, intersect, etc on STL files in Part WB?
It means the mesh was not manifold to begin with.
You could try a Part WB Refine on the shape (this is a guess...never tried it).
Did you use the Mesh workbench Analyze and Repair to check the mesh.
If the mesh bad enough you may not be able to repair it.

Re: Regression on Sketcher Points
Not a regression, but a change to the behavior.

Re: Draft workbench
Yes I am comfortable with the Sketcher WB. and have completed some good CAD & some CAM work with it. But I cannot figure the purpose of the Draft WB if you cannot, other than primitively, simply 2D draft with it? Does it have a significance I have not realised? I am genuinely new to Freecad hav...

Re: Draft workbench
Had a go at using the Draft workbench. Have been using CAD for more than 45 years with many different programmes, but I could not find a way to do simple 2d drawings which required basic tangent lines or snapping to tangent, for instance. I seemed to require the normal FC constraints as I am quite ...

Re: How to union, intersect, etc on STL files in Part WB?
You first need to confirm the mesh is manifold with the tools in Mesh workbench. And possibly decimate it the mesh to minimize the triangles. Then use Part workbench Create shape from mesh. Then confirm the shape is valid with Part workbench Check geometry (with BOP check enabled) to confirm the sha...
