My GUI might be ugly, but at least I'm giving Flex a workout lol

spotted a typo - misspelled "lenght" instead of "length" in multiple places..

I don't see any reason that can't be done in Flex... give me a few minutes to code that up.

  looks like I will have to cruise around the Freecad forum for a little bit. The Latest drama of what
Bambu Lab is pulling has re-emphasized the need to keep up to date on the open source software.
It seems to be the only way to keep out of the absolute money vacuum of today's mainstream
industries.

I am also using FreeCAD V1.0. I have been using FreeCad for a couple of years but only fo simple stuff.

I just started modelling a 1920 three cylinder radial motorcycle engine in FreeCad V1.0, and decided to spilt each component into it's own file, as a component like the Piston often needs multiple solids (patterns, core moulds etc). My plan it to combine the parts in a separate assembly file. I did this as I notice that the performance took a nose dive while modelling the piston core mould.

I am getting the feeling that this could be avoid with more rigourous modelling. I noticed on one part I made some error in a loft, which generated with incomplete facets, and the performance took a real hit fo all other operations after that. I have no idea what is actually wrong with that loft, but when I backed up and modelled that feature differently, the performance hit went away.

FreeCad is certainly way less tolerant of user deviating from the one true path of how you are "supposed" to model in it. I am also using way more refeence planes than I even needed in AutoCad V13, Catia, Inventor or Onshape inb the past.

As here, the support of the Freecad forum is outstanding.
