Create sketch in middle of part
Hi all. I have a script where the user selects a face, then using qConvexConnectedFaces twice to select the ends. I have then found the midpoint of each of those faces and used them to find the midpoint of the part. What I need to do is create a plane at that point parallel to the end faces and then create a sketch. How…

Extrusion doesn't line up to sketch
If you take a look at the attached image, the top gray line is a sketch (s1). The bottom blue is the face of a part (p1). p1 is an extrusion of s1, but you can see that when zooming in, they don't line up visually. This causes a few different artifacts in my drawings, including floating lines on the faces of parts, etc.…
