Cannot upgrade offset facebinder to wire

Post by NewJoker »

Hi,

in this thread, we were talking about the use of the Draft Stretch tool for extending faces: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=71821

It was possible to upgrade that model to a wire recognizable by the Stretch tool. Now I created another example but I'm unable to upgrade or downgrade the offset facebinder to a wire that can be stretched. Upgrading creates an object named Offset006001 with wired representation but with an icon of a part. Downgrading creates an object named Wire with a wired representation and icon of a part. Downgrading it for the second time results in multiple Edge objects again with part icons. None of these objects are recognized by the Stretch tool. Is that a bug ?

It is currently not possible to fillet only 2 corners of a Draft_Wire. So the shape cannot be translated to a wire. It should however be possible to create a sketch from the geometry, assuming it is planar. The sketch can be edited, and from the sketch a face can then be created either with Part_MakeFace or PartDesign_SubShapeBinder.

Thank you, I didn't know that.

Yes, thank you. I didn't realize that downgrading twice and then upgrading the edge objects individually will do the job.
