Now continue by working on the BaseFeature inside the body. Select the step object and create in PartDesign a new body. I attach my FreeCAD file and the STP file for reference. Clearly something about the behaviour of imported parts is different, or I have not made some critical conversion or selection correctly? Please tell me where to remove the material of the pocket!'. If I OK that (it is 'recommended') and edit the resulting sketch, and say try to pocket a hole, I get an error 'No sketch support and no base shape. If I import the STEP file and select a face of the part and create a sketch on it I get asked if I 'want to make an independent copy'. Maybe I missed something or perhaps someone can offer some advice here. It seems like it should be a common problem but I've not found any answers online.
#FREECAD OPEN STEP FILE HOW TO#
I am able to import the box but I can't work out how to be able to use techniques I have learned thus far (sketching, attaching sketches to faces, using the pocket tool etc.) to work on the imported elements.
I am trying to import a STEP file of a diecast box which I then want to work with (by making holes in it). However I am asking for help for the first time because I want to work with imported STEP files. I have a little background in SolidWorks so it has been fairly easy to grasp the basic concepts of FreeCAD. It performs remarkably for something not yet at a '1.0' release. First off, I am very pleased to have found FreeCAD - what a great project.
