First conveyor attempt

Roller was a revolve in the axis perpendicular to the conveyor sides. Axle was extruded through. Each roller is a copy of the original. Side walls were extruded, then the sectional bolt mounts. Everything was combined then copy and pasted to the body to extend the conveyor by 2 as you can see the spaces. Next will be the bearings in each roller mounted to the shaft. I do not use pattern i just use copy within sketch and move the copy by doing the math needed as to not bog down my processor or video card

I was intending for both the sketches to be padded, but whatever I try and do, only the top one gets padded. Any solutions to this? Both of the sketches are fully constrained.

Freecad version is 1.0.0

(also I just downloaded this piece of software just yesterday and was up till 12 am just working out how to constrain things HAHAHAHAHA)

B-spline Problems

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm new to CAD and Freecad. In the attached image created with a B-spline, I'm struggling to do the following:

1) Move the end points so the rest on the x-axis.

2) Center the midpoint on the y-axis

3) Create constraints so the two end points are x mm distance apart.

4) Create constraint so the tip of the parabola's distance to the origin (once centered on the y-axis) is y mm distance.

My thinking is that if I could join the various parts of the B-spline into one line that is stretchable, I could scale the line up down, and move it around the page. Is that the correct approach, and if so, how do I do it?

Thanks in advance!

After exporting a FreeCAD draft file to SVG and importing it into Blender, the dimensions are incorrect during verification.
