 Jern | then you can rotate the workplane, and then you create another box with centered turned off on all 3 axes (I think) centered=(False,False,False) | 22:23:59 |

 fpq473#6357 | I drew an "S" shaped curve (a spline) in Sketch.
How might I "thicken" this to a face? I'd like to revolve the face into a solid (like a vase without a bottom). | 19:24:42 |

 Roger Maitland#7070 | I couldn't get offset2D to work in Sketch but this works:
spline_edge = cq.Edge.makeSpline([cq.Vector(p) for p in middleCutSplinePts])
spline = cq.Wire.assembleEdges([spline_edge])
offset_spline = spline.offset2D(1)
if "show_object" in locals():
show_object(offset_spline)

 qwelyt#8390 | Hm. Can I hull two faces together? | 11:30:59 |
| qwelyt#8390 | 
Download 20220927_133256.png | 11:33:40 |
| qwelyt#8390 | I have that and would like those faces to be connected. | 11:33:40 |
| Roger Maitland#7070 | Are you looking for loft ? | 11:43:17 |
| qwelyt#8390 | Maybe. 👀
How would one loft two faces? | 20:09:59 |
| qwelyt#8390 | Reading the docs I see the fluent api used with 2d methods and offsets. Not quite sure how to do it with two different workplanes. | 20:10:46 |
| Roger Maitland#7070 | I would extract the two faces, use outerWire() to get the perimeter Wires and Solid.makeLoft(). However, what do you expect will happen with the hole in the right one? | 20:14:34 |
| qwelyt#8390 | For now just ignore the hole. I will make a better selection once I know how to do the work. | 20:16:21 |
| qwelyt#8390 | Probably select the top part of it instead. | 20:16:29 |
| qwelyt#8390 | How? 🙂
a = one.faces(faceSelect1).val().outerWire()
b = two.faces(faceSelect2).val().outerWire()
c = cq.Solid.makeLoft([a,b])
gives me standard_ConstructionError: BRepFill :: profiles are inconsistent | 20:25:57 |
| Roger Maitland#7070 | Maybe OCCT can't do it? | 20:26:44 |
| qwelyt#8390 | This saddens me. | 20:29:00 |
| Roger Maitland#7070 | I don't think I could do it by hand. 4 edges to 8 edges? | 20:29:48 |
| qwelyt#8390 | I will have to create a better selection I think. | 20:37:19 |
| qwelyt#8390 | I tried an easier example with just two modules next to each other and lofted those. It worked. | 20:37:46 |
| qwelyt#8390 | But I can't rotate them on the Z axis more than 6 degrees before it starts spewing errors. | 20:38:15 |
| qwelyt#8390 | Just selecting the faces >X on one and <X on the other. | 20:38:33 |
| qwelyt#8390 | Or I have to create intermediate objects to loft to so the angle is not as extreme for the loft operation. | 20:39:29 |

| qwelyt#8390 | Can I force makeLoftto actually put in all the walls? | 21:25:52 |
| Roger Maitland#7070 | I don't think so. However, you can take these faces and add to them to create a complete Shell then a Solid. | 22:07:16 |

|  x1a4 joined the room. | 03:41:11 |
| x1a4 | hi, is it possible to constrain a subassembly with its bounding box? Right now I'm using a Plane constraint between each of the subassembly's parts and the base, which works, but I'm wondering if it's possible to do that in a single constraint with a face of the bounding box? | 03:44:12 |
