I would highly appreciate any tips on how to fix the issue, as well as to gain an understanding of what causes this problem to avoid this issue in my actual part. However, as soon as the groove angle in the feature is increased beyond a certain threshold, the groove is not correctly computed. I want to remove the geometry marked in red using the "Groove C" feature. I created a similar (simplified) model to illustrate the problem. Unfortunately in my actual (more involved) model, the suggested approach does not fix the issue. FreeCAD Tutorial - Feature - Groove (Part Design Workbench)Subscribe to AllVisuals4U. The idea which resolved the issue was to change the rotation axis of a previous Revolution feature from "Horizontal sketch axis" to "Base Y axis", despite both options actually referring to the same axis. I used a very simplified model to illustrate my issue, which has successfully been resolved by following a suggestion from domad, see. Data Fill ("false", "true"): if "true", the space between original wire/face and the offset is filled with a face.I recently made a post on a PartDesign issue where a Groove feature failed.Wires being offset independently don't have to be coplanar. I'm trying to make two o'ring groves on an ellipse (image below, around the green highlighted section).

Wires being treated collectively must be coplanar. o'ring groove on an ellipse by Truell Sat 12:44 am HI, I am very new to FreeCad and cad packages in general. This is in tight relationship with how holes in faces are treated. Also, in collective mode, directions of wires are important, and influence direction of offset. This Tutorial uses the Subtractive Groove from the Part Design Workbench to remove material from the Active Body. Likewise, wire3 and wire4 are treated collectively, but independently of wire1+wire2. Using the FreeCAD Part Design Grove Tool on a cylinder. For example, if the structure is like compound(wire1, wire2, compound(wire3, wire4)), wire1 and wire2 will be treated collectively, but independently from wire3 and wire4. Only wires within a compound are coupled. If "true", the wires are offset in collective manner. If "false", wires are offset independently, intersections between resulting wires are ignored. Data Intersection ("false", "true"): sets if multiple wires are treated collectively or independently."Intersection": offset segments are extended till they intersect. If "Arc", offset segments are connected with an arc of circle, centered at the vertex. Data Join ("Arc", "Tangent", "Intersection"): sets the behavior around kinks.

If "Pipe", the wire is outlined as if it was an extremely thin closed contour.

App Link objects linked to the appropriate object types and App Part containers with the appropriate visible objects inside can also be used as source objects.There can be multiple wires in one object, not necessarily coplanar. Or enlarges/shrinks a planar face, similarly. The Part Offset2D tool constructs a wire, parallel to the original wire, at a certain distance from it.
