Thanks - you saved me ;)

What happened to the Assembly Workbench?🤨

At 7:33 you said "in the same model" Is that the file name? The file holds all of these bodies in your example.

this is very good thank you for posting!

The music does not help in any way, especially for those of us that are a little bit hearing impaired.

very useful video, thanks the teaching!

Just starting out with FreeCad and found this really useful, thank you Jeff. I did notice that the tenons would in reality overlap by 10mm and you would need to shorten one or mitre the ends of each tenon for them to fit.

Now that was easy to follow for a beginner. Thanks.

Good if we had this tutorial showing an automatic table of doors and windows

This is a very professional tutorial

Nice informative video but the music detracts.

If ChatGPT was a person

For more advanced users: You can modify and create new 'Part Info' fields in [a2p_partlistglobals.py] but there are a couple of caveats. 1) Any changes made will be overwritten if you update or re-install A2P. Make a backup copy that you can restore as necessary. 2) If you already have a Part Info entity in your file then it will have to be deleted or renamed in order to update the fields on existing documents. If you renamed the previous one then you can copy and paste each field as required. (I sometimes use the rename to maintain a history of changes). That's all I remember to watch out for. Thanks for the video !

Freecad is amazing. Merci

Very useful video, complete and easy to watch.

Great vid, learned a lot.

Thanks for this video!!!

2:27 THANK YOU!!! I didn't know what search terms to use to find this option.

Much thanks, very helpful video.

Thank you for your help!

Thank you for making these videos Jeff. You are an excellent teacher. In one short video I've been introduced to the assembly and animation tool. You've got another sub. I'm looking forward to watching all your other FeeeCAD videos!

Really excellent tutorial. I’ve really struggled with FreeCad but you’ve opened it up for me. Thanks. I look forward to watching your other videos.

Ok, so I'm lost at the first step. lol. Can't even find the assembly workbench in my drop down.

Outstanding video!

Please make more FreeCad videos

Just watched this first episode Geoff (Jeff?)! I am 66 and have been trying to learn CAD, your presentation is excellent! I understand what you’re doing and can replicate your actions. Thanks!

Inkscape keeps putting in transforms and then when loaded into FreeCAD all the text is in the wrong place. I've tried deleting them, using converters from pdf to svg, etc. etc. etc. Nothing fixes this issue.

You can create a body and a link to an external body which can be fused but 2 linked bodies can't. This is odd, don't you think

1/6/2024 I have round part with 20 ribs(radial pattern around center axis) -sort of like a turbine or wheel. To make the radial pattern of the initial rib is not problem, but the rib has a fillet all around and that gives me "NULL SHAPE" if I try to do radial pattern (separate of the ribs)...or just doesn't work (Message Failed the pattern-or something to that effect), when I try to do it together wth the ribs. At one itteration(I tried many) I was able to kake some of the fillets around, some were partial and others just not there at all.....

What kind of glue did you use?

Thank you 🙏

Thank you from THA-fc

Love the video

Hi, do you know the way to save the animation as a video?

please show creation of path to follow along , please.

Way over my head but subscribed to hopefully learn more.

I saw one guy used Frenet in creating spiral thread with a helix in the Sweep tool rather than the specific Helix tool which is now also available. I you don't apply Frenet in rotating a triangle (for example) along a helical thread path, then the triangle twists as it is rotated around the helix and does not make the triangular thread. Soon as you apply Frenet then the Triangle maintains its orientation all the way along the path. The Helical Additive or Subtractive Tool does not have Frenet and does not have the problem of a rotating profile along the helical path. If you want to make a free Helix pathway one goes to the Part WB and chooses the Primitive tool. In the tool one can select a helix and set up its radius, pitch etc. Then return to the Part Design WB. It appears a longer way with pitfalls but there are quite a few other pathways available in the primitives that can be created as well.

At 4:51 you end up with a sea horse.

I find that if I draw on datum planes, I can detach and re-attach to faces, axes, etc at a later stage to fix up the effects of this problem. I'm tending to create datum planes on axes, then positioning them (offset, angle), rather than attaching to faces in order to avoid the naming problem.

Still relevant and simple to follow, thanks ofr your efforts and time.

Nice job with this video! My problem is that somewhere after I 'explode' my drawing some of the parts fold back to their original position before saving the Projection Group. SO I can't get a good exploded view in the TechDraw sheet. I'm stuck there.

Thanks for the info!

Label doesn't disappear if in "View" tab of "Label" to change "Keep Label" to "true" (FreeCad 0.21.0). Thank you for your work making such videos.

I am new to FreeCad I am trying to follow along. I had to add assembly workbench 4. I am unable to load both parts into the new body. Can you help me?

I guess you left out were the templet can be found?

I may have to revisit FreeCAD

thks for clear explanations.

In the 1st example, where do you set the mirrored spacing?
