I looked it up, the Hartley Trust is a pretty ancient organisation! I imagine these rights have been in place for centuries.

Still, I hope it’s not a sign of trouble brewing. There are lots of boats moored along this stretch in contravention of the well-known and understood limits. But no enforcement ever happens apart from occasional bits of paper.

But there are vulnerable people here who would probably otherwise be homeless. Pushing them further out wouldn’t be good.

Anyone got more info?

I'm trying to sketch out the shape of a piano keyboard. I am trying to make the off-vertical line vertical. It's under-constrained by 1DOF which I believe corresponds to that line (it can move).

But when I add a vertical constraint to that line it becomes over-constrained (second screenshot).

I'm obviously misunderstanding something, but I'm not sure what. I don't think I have any redundant or conflicting constraints.

Also (third screenshot) when I do manually move the line it leaves behind a ghost version of it which disappears when I Recompute. Is this normal? Freecad 1.1.0 on Ubuntu 25.10

Thanks!

An amazing May morning! Huge crowd and people were really in the mood for a dance!

Here’s a view of the crowd from the steps, from the perspective of the Whirly Band.

Was anyone in the crowd?
