How to update the thickness after multijoin #37

Open nickoe opened 4 years ago

nickoe commented 4 years ago

Hello, thank you for making such a great tool, it works really nicely.

I made a box design, but I found that I did choose the wrong material thickness when I started the design. I wanted to update this parameter, but I could not make it work out properly. Is there a way to change this parameter and have it propagated?

I tried to change it on the Box object and it do seem like the thickness is correctly reflecting in those objects and the Multijoin_origin_parts as well, but the objects with the tabs specified before I changed the thickness are not updated.

Is there a way to propagate the thickness changes to those objects?

I am using f1bd7f7c8831b4ee13462a00e2c29c1e7126bb65

Hello, Thank you very much !

Is the box created with the tool of this module "make box without tab"? If yes, I managed to change the thickness from the "box" object, and then to change the thickness of parts involved in the "MultiJoin" object.

Could you specify the version of freecad? Do you have a freecad file to test the problem or a procedure to follow ?

I am not home now, but I used the appimage version of freecad downloaded last week or so, meaning something like freecad version 0.18.

My model is available at https://github.com/nickoe/misc_3d_things/blob/6b1313ef2b1f338ba0dbd984286bd9a8fca32819/rack/1U_lasercut_box.FCStd

Yes, I used the box tool from the toolbox. I also managed to change the thickness of the objects in the multijoin object, but the tab objects were not updated. Which is what the issue is about.

Here is a picture trying to illustrate the issue a bit more clearly. You can see there is a gap for the selected part to the rest. It should be thicker such that it would touch the other parts here. image

@execuc I am not trying to be too pushy, but do you see what I mean?

execuc commented 4 years ago

Yes I see what you mean but I have verry little time currently. I am sorry.

If you double-click on Multijoin object, then change material thickness of each part and click OK to recompute all, it doesn't work ?
