  • You want to make a midplane, a reference plane midway between to parallel planes. You click the Datum Plane button, and then the two parallel planes, and you get a plane that is perpendicular to both, not parallel halftway between. I found it easier to forget how to need midplanes than to get FreeCAD to make one.

    There’s some cool concepts in there, I make heavy use of the spreadsheet function, but I swear to every god in every pantheon that Autodesk is paying the FreeCAD development community to keep their UX at least this horrible to preserve their business model. I can’t explain this level of incompetence any other way without relying on rock chewing stupidity.
