My attempts on various items in the Model produce Parts that are rotated to previous positions of the Part. These notes are not complete but have proven helpful to me so far. No need to select "Apply incremental changes" as the moves are automatically displayed incrementally.Ĥ) It is possible to Convert (via Part WB) each Part into a SolidĪfter this conversion, the various Parts(Solid) may be combined via Part WB Union to produce a Fusion. Select the Body of the Part and then select the usual FreeCAD placement displays. (More notes needed here)ģ) Once the Parts are assembled some additional orientation may be necessary, the coordinate systems are connected but not necessarily aligned properly. Important: Rename all items to help keep track of the various items.Īssemble if desired. Highlight the Sketch for the Body and then select Pad or Rotation. Make the Body active via Control Key (on MacOS) (confirm Body is on or off via Python console) This avoids the hassle of converting a Part or Part Design to the Model format if needed as an Assembly 4 Part.Ģ) The necessary steps are: (all done in Assembly 4 WB)Ĭreate a Model (this produces a folder for Parts) They may be helpful to others.ġ) Do all future design within the Model format, even if you do not contemplate a future assembly. Along the way I made some notes to myself to remind me for future projects. ![]() I have successfully done my first project using Assembly 4 and am very pleased with it. ![]() The pairing of coordinate systems seems natural and elegant. I dabbled with A2Plus and looked at Assembly 3 and then found the most interesting discussion about the development of Assembly 4 and the philosophy behind it. I became frustrated when I attempted to combine objects into an assembly. I have been working with FreeCAD for about three months (my first plunge into 3d design) and find it fascinating and wonderful. ![]()
