That seems to be a bug in FreeCAD. My version (0.14-i-don't-know) displays OK and the file works fine in SolidWorks. The VRML is also created direct from the IDF file so if there was a problem we would see it in the VRML output, or more likely I wouldn't be able to generate the VRML output.
I use 'view3Dscene' since it is easy to manipulate the viewpoint; in FreeCAD I can't work out how to change the viewpoint except to use iso, top, left, right. - Cirilo On Sun, Mar 29, 2015 at 1:32 AM, Nick Østergaard <oe.n...@gmail.com> wrote: > Althought, if I fix the assertation issue in freead, I still get that > ZIF socket thingie on multiple locations.
