Okay, after going back in the history tree to perform a boolean operation on the main body, all the subsequent sketches lost references to that body. So now I’m going through all the sketches and removing/fixing the references manually. It would be nice if Shapr3D would fix them automatically if the new geometry is exactly where the old was, but I digress.
The problem I now face is that one of the sketches has 160 projections it shouldn’t have. I want to remove them, so I open the projections editor view, but it’s empty. They are visible in the rendering, but not in the projections list. How can I fix this without deselecting them manually? I don’t want to redo the whole sketch, but that’s an option if there’s no other way.
I have seen this behavior before - is it a bug, or am I missing something?
There isn’t a project list when you edit the projects. I do see that there is a “Clear All” button that is grayed out so maybe the list isn’t implemented yet or is a bug as you say.
They do show visually on your model. You have to click on the source edges in sketches (orange) and/or edges/faces in source items (cyan) that you don’t want. Sketches will turn blue and item edges/faces will change to their unhighlighted color. The projections (purple) should disappear as you do this.
Then press Done.
Yes, a pain when there are many. Multi-select works but can be a pain since it may select and project additional edges.
Hey niila, you are right, this isn’t ideal. Unfortunately the list cannot handle sketch elements properly due to various technical reasons, so they are only visible on the canvas. You could deselect all sketch elements with the Cmd+Shift+A keyboard shortcut.
Thanks David, the keyboard shortcut did the trick! Perhaps the Clear All -button could basically just run the keyboard shortcut?
In my opinion, selecting and deselecting from the canvas is better any way, because the labels for the selected items are generic and not very helpful in the list format. Just make sure there is an easy way to clear them all. Also tools for selecting same kinds of items (like length, angle etc.) would be super useful!
