Summary0000933: Loft make no valid plane for sketcher
Descriptionabout "LOFT" tool on PART

I noticed something rather strange and random placement following :
# If you create two square aligned with the sketcher -> Utility "LOFT" to create your parallelogram -> all face are valid for the sketcher (so all is ok)
# If you don't align the two square, sketcher don't whant link on some face. But all face are plane !!!

if creating the same part with utility generation from 2 no-align square, the sketcher can run on all face (but it is much longer for the same part: select the vertices to create edges and faces. ....)

I link an exemple file
Steps To ReproduceEdit: per @wmayer in 0000933:0005591
I could easily confirm this.
* Open a sketch and draw a square where the origin is the center of the square
* Close the sketch and create a new one with an offset
* Draw again a square which is shifted by one grid cell. Closeit.
* Switch to Part and make a loft with option to create a solid

Clear the selection and then select the loft and enter this into the Python console:
for i in Gui.Selection.getSelectionEx()[0].Object.Shape.Faces: print i.Surface

For two faces it still reports a b-spline surface

So the point is, Loft.Loft001.Face2 and Loft.Loft001.Face4 are planar, but Loft.Loft001.Face1 and Loft.Loft001.Face3 are BSpline surfaces, and they should be planar as well.

2 things wrong with this bug

- Listed under [Draft], this is a Part tool
- Category is patch, but there is no patch included

Norm, did these incorrectly render for you?

I just opened the file and the two boxes render fine.

I then followed these instructions starting from new and it still rendered correctly.

 I tried to explain with my bad english

The render of two part is correctly (visual)
But, the surface generate about the second incliend boxe isn't plane, so, you didn't lock the face with stecker

On the first box make with loft tool, you can lock all face witch sketcher : that's great
On second inclined box make with loft tool too, many face generate by loft tool can't be lock with stecker. when you select face on incliened box and you click on "new sketch", you have warning message "you need plane face" or the face is theoretically plane.

Edit : I link picture for a better understanding

ryback, you can change the language to English in Preferences/General/General before taking a screen capture, that way you don't need to translate what the message says. ;-)

@ ryback08 Oh! right now I understand. :-)

@ Norm that's a good tip, I have to admit I didn't think of that! :-)

 OK I have tested as well now and I see the same problem.

It is only the two faces on the ZX plane (the front and rear) that you can not attach a sketch to. All the other faces will work.

Something is not correct.

The bug is not there in sweep. So as a temporary work around perhaps you could use sweep?

I just added a Line from Part WB and used it as the path for a sweep. See the file "Loft_and_sweep_mytests2.FCStd" which I just added above for an example if you like.

I tested this with the file posted to this topic above. I tested by trying the attached a sketch to all faces and it did, so I thought the problem was gone. But doing as you say does cause the original bug still.

By the way, in case its relevant, If you select Ruled surface and solid you still get these Bspline surfaces.

From what I read in the forum (and I can't locate that topic now), that the faces generated by Loft are not planar is an OpenCascade issue. In other words, that's just how OCC Loft works now and so until it changes in OCC it can't be changed in FreeCAD.

I updated the ticket description to indicate @wmayer steps-to-reproduce in 0000933:0005591
per @bejant in 0002268:0006427 should we tag this 'upstream' if so, is there an upstream ticket we can link to?

@wmayer can you still reproduce 0000933:0005591 on OCC 7.2 ?

With https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/commit/2611f072b786b77829e070d0eabc518a6ffea58b it is now supported to attach a sketch to a planar B-spline surface.
