| Summary | 0001729: tree view representation of pads and pockets is counter intuitive | ||||
| Description | I've been using freecad for a while now. I think it is great but there is something I don't get. When you pad a sketch the Pad object includes the original shape; that's logical since you'd want the original surface to be removed in the places where the padding touches the support surface. But what I don't get is that the original object is a sibling of the new Pad object in the object tree; I would really expect it to be a child just like the sketch that was padded... This may be a deliberate design choice but in that case the behaviour needs some explaining in the documentation because I cannot think of a reason why it is this way or why anyone would want it this way... | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | create some object select a surface create a sketch on that surface pad or pocket the sketch observe the object tree | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

one more clarification: this is a problem since any project with a complexity level above 'very simple' tends to have a very cluttered object tree. I often mistakenly attach sketches to surfaces of 'inner' objects for instance. |
