      Another example, the extrude feature in SOLIDWORKS is different than the cut tool. In NX things are simpler, you can either create a cut or an extrusion all in one feature. That’s the level of stupidity in SOLIDWORKS that freeCAD should look at NX to avoid.

      A much more important thing is figuring out the topology problem. Eliminate that
