why I can´t loft?
I'm working on a tray drawer (for the curious, it's for the Tesla Model Y front center box). Using FreeCad 0.22 dev, the model will be 3D printed.
With your help I could made it how I wanted. However as I'm a beginner with FreeCad, there's a lot of ugly things. So I wanted to work on this new iteration and clean it up as much as possible, mainly to learn the software.
I have 1 major problem: I can't make a loft between my to sketches to create the separators. And I don't understand why.
Another point I do not fully understand is the construction lines. Should I use the External Reference or a Carbon Copy ? I don't really like the carbon copy as there's to much things displayed and sometimes I'm lost and don't see my original sketch anymore. For example, my bottom separator sketch must be linked somehow to my bottom box sketch, so if I change the position of the bottom of the box, the separator will adjust automatically.
Here's an image of how the model should look (my previous iteration) https://imgur.com/a/H8on1MZ

FreeCAD 1.0/Ondsel 2024.3 Release Timeline?
Anyone aware of a target date for when FreeCAD 1.0 and/or Ondsel 2024.3 will be released?
Background:
I'm coming from using onshape, looking for a local opensource alt. After researching freecad (and forks) it seems if I was to start learning now, I'm in for a significant shift in workflow when 1.0 releases.
In its current state I'd lean towards ondsel.
Kind of putting off the switch till one or both implement the topo naming fix, and the other major ui changes for mainline, so I don't need to learn two different workflows.
But I'm getting antsy and want to get learning soon.
