Summary0003626: OpenSCAD causes Multifusion failed with some empty translates
DescriptionHaving more than one translates that ends up in an "if (false)" seems to create a "MultiFusion failed" exception. The issue was found in a rather complex Openscad design, but I believe I have been able to find a simple way to reproduce.
Steps To ReproduceReproduce by opening the OpenSCAD workbench and add the following:

translate([1,0,0]) if (0) cube();
translate([2,0,0]) if (0) cube();
translate([3,0,0]) if (1) cube();

Press "Add". Instead of a single cube, as expected, nothing appears and the console says:
      Exception: MultiFusion failed

In the real world, the if statements were complex, but the issue is the same with these trivial cases. The absolutely smallest construct I can find that triggers the same issue is:

translate([1,0,0]) if (0);
translate([2,0,0]) if (0);
cube();

With only one empty translate, it is OK. The issue is the same also when importing OpenSCAD files.

I've now started a thread that is linked back to this bug on the forum.

(My impression from the guidelines was only to start a thread if one is not sure it is a bug, or if it is a feature request. Pretty convinced this one is a genuine bug, and that it is narrowed down pretty well.)

I have taken a quick look at this problem. I first created a couple of test scad files based on the reported bug. These do indeed produce the error Exception (Mon Oct 15 16:48:31 2018): MultiFusion failed with

I don't think there is any related difference between importCSG.py in FreeCAD 0.16 and FreeCAD 0.17 so this points to a regression in FreeCAD 0.17 in the Part::MultiFuse function. i.e. the error is being generated when importCSG.py tries to execute myfuse = doc.addObject('Part::MultiFuse',name)
