Hello dear Heekscad users and dear venerable Dan, Heekscad creator and maintainer.
I’m using an 1.4.0. Heekscad version on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, installed following the instruction described on https://github.com/Heeks/heekscad/wiki/Ubuntu:-Installation
I’m facing an issue trying to reproduce the surface process marvelously described on the official Heekscad documentation internet site located at this URL: https://sites.google.com/site/heekscad/help/surface
This Heekscad surface documentation page is related to « standard pocket operation process with its toolpath being applied to a sphere ».
When I arrive to the step « When you do "Post Process", you will see the pocket toolpath has been attached to the sphere.. » I’m facing an error. Indeed, a pop-windows appears, saying : ” pocket – sketch does not exist”.
Editing the operation, reveals that the surface chosen from the "surface" drop-down is attached to the operation, and reveals also that no sketch is attached to the operation – sketches = none.
So, I imagine a sketch must be created before the "Post Process". But which one ?
That you for your answer.
Nota: we’ve been using heekscad along the next 4 years to run a little CNC machine driven by LinuxCNC importing 2D Librecad dxf into Heekcad (librecad → dxf → heekscad → gcode → linuxcnc → CNC machine), but it would be more educative if we could use 3D shapes processes showing the 3D shape on screen instead showing 2D designs, and if we could apply operation to 3D surface including round surface like above part of a sphere.
