Cannot modify length of a pipe after initial session (in some cases) #19

Describe your issue

I am creating a system of pipes (electrical conduit) which involves a lot of trial and error custom fitting of pieces. During the session where I create a pipe I can adjust it's length by modifying the 'Height' property. However, when I come back to the model later, modifying Height has no effect on the model.

In the following image, note that the measured dimension does not agree with the Height property.

Notes:

  • The model is complex, and is part of an even more complex model (complex == several FreeCAD documents and assemblies) The single file provided exhibits the behavior when loaded alone. It does have several objects in it however.

Elec 27 Pin Conduits A End.zip

  • I am using a slightly out of date version of Quetzel, because of the 'can't install' bug
  • I am using custom dimensions of the pipes with entries in the tablez folder
  • The issue does NOT occur when you have a single pipe alone in a document, that is, it seems to be related to the complicated structure of my particular model.

The issue should be repeatable in the attached model file (zipped)

What is the feature affected?

None

Steps to reproduce

Open the attached FreeCAD file.
Make one of the included pipes active.
Change the height property.
Note that the length in the 3D view does not change.

What was the expected result?

The length of a pipe adjusts when the length property is modified.
