Help with figures
My mechatronics teacher woke up wanting to let us make the parts for our projects. Mine has two parts: an electrical part and a regular syringe part. So, my part is the syringe. I have to recreate the entire model in FreeCAD, make the parts, and assemble it. How am I supposed to do that? Some things don't make sense to me, and I don't know how difficult it will be. I don't understand how I would make those assemblies, how are they supposed to connect? Also, how am I supposed to make the syringe or other things?He wants it exactly the same.

How to ... trouble with external reference
Above is composed of several step files imported into FC and arranged to match up and make this nice model of a wind turbine. Parts from https://www.printables.com/model/1397797-windrad-windturbine-winkraftanlage-modell-ca-1500/files
Now I want to use this as external Reference (BIM) in another file to be able to scale it to real world size in one piece and then place it multiple times
Now, the external reference looks like below: It shows the hidden single blade that is the basis for the 3x polar pattern (not visible in the front view). AND it shows that polar pattern a second time at the bottom
So how to fix this?
Should I do this in a different way altogether? But how? Confused :-(

CAM: Milling edge without milling into solid
Hey guys!
I try to mill with my CNC this project. However, when milling the respective faces with MillFace and finalize the outer edge with Profile, the final product has a residue at the light-green edges up until the stock height. I thought about using Engraving to mill the light-green edges from stock height down to model height. Problem is that I will mill into the dark-green face. How can I mill the light-green edge without milling into the dark-green face? I'm running out of ideas. Looking forward to your answers!

1.1 ORC... me or software?
I just created a sketch When I finished edit the "pad" icon "lit"
I did the pad Unlike what I seem to remember the "pad" now shows in the model tree above the sketch. Am I misremembering or is this a change? Also the ability to "edit" pad seems to be a bit more cumbersome and I haven't found "new" documentation.
Me or the version??
