Re: Rotation about LCS and Dataplanes
How do you get a blank support system here? I don't recommend to use unattached sketches in PartDesign. You can achieve via RMB menu->"Attachment Editor" and there you clean all input fields They aren't unattached - but apparently on opening an 0.22 generated file in 0.21 the Support prop...

Re: Problem making simple cut work (Part WB, Helix)
You don't need to leave Part Design. You can use PartDesign SubtractiveHelix. Sweeps a sketch around a helix and subtracts it.

Re: Rotation about LCS and Dataplanes
As you can see from Roy_043 's file, the complications of siting your wedge sketch came from a poor choice of Origin of your padded sketch. However, in a more complicated model, you might not have this option of a better choice. Suppose we are stuck with siting your sketch 22 mm above the mid-point ...

Re: Help making object solid
The video is about modifying an existing stl. You just want to make one. Create your body by padding a sketch. It is a solid. Select Body , go to the Mesh Workbench and "Create Mesh from shape". Select the created mesh, go to File|Export and export it as an stl. It will print as a solid. S...

Re: Help making object solid
Body was created in FreeCAD (in Part Design WB, create body, create sketch). Tried to convert it to solid using several of the YouTube 'how to make solid' tutorials. No luck. If you just created a sketch inside a body - it is a 2D object, not a solid. You need to pad it to give it thickness. The fi...

Re: Mesh Remodel: Create coplanar points object
@racx Does Ed's suggestion fix the error? It works for me, of course. It seems it is numpy at issue >>> import numpy as np >>> v <Vertex object at 0x60000a588820> >>> np.array(v.Point) array([ 0.29561883, -1.97803175, 10. ]) >>> t0 =np.array(v.Point) >>> t0 is None False >>> t0 == None array([False...

Re: Curves workbench
Yes, there are these 3 parameters : https://github.com/tomate44/CurvesWB/blob/master/freecad/Curves/GeomInfo.py#L387 This worked nicely - thank you. But I was somewhat mystified that I had to add the GeomInfoFontSize parameter by hand. Your code appears to read it - how did it do that before I crea...

Re: Mesh Remodel: Create coplanar points object
I have been working with the Mesh Remodel workbench and have been getting an error when attempting to use the ‘Create coplanar points object’. Here is a simplified workflow: 1, Create a cylinder in Parts workbench by accepting the defaults. 2, Move to Mesh workbench and create a mesh with ‘create m...
