I've been messing with this for a half hour and FreeCAD keeps throwing errors. I cannot reference a shape binder in a new sketch. No idea what I'm doing wrong. 12:18:11 <Sketch> SketchObject.cpp(9051): Failed to project external geometry in Pipe_Clamp_35mm_Take_4#Sketch003: ShapeBinder.Face1 Selected external reference plane must be normal to sketch plane 12:18:11 pyException: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> <class 'ValueError'>: Not able to add external shape element Face1 12:18:11 Pipe Clamp 35mm Take 4#Sketch003: App.getDocument('Pipe_Clamp_35mm_Take_4').getObject('Sketch003').addExternal("ShapeBinder","Face1") 12:18:11 Pipe Clamp 35mm Take 4#Sketch003: Failed to add external geometry

For some reason, In 1.0 only the subshape binder is in the toolbar. The shape binder is in the Part Design menu.

Thank you! Every instruction should be like that!

Thank you...

Do u have a video on how you would bend a triangle like a plane wing to a 22⁰ angle at all ? Cheers

*BABY COME BACK!!!!!!!*

i want to add 1. pad a rectangle 30 units 2. then a fillet on back face of 5 units 3. then a thickness on front face of 5 units (it should be make thickness inward and join type intersection) It also gives error

Thank you for your kind explanation. I can now edit the downloaded model airplane parts.

A big thank you. This is very helpful. A new world of lofts is now mine to rule 😁

great video. But could you please speak and click a bit slower so that we can follow along? Also any right or left click to add or cancel can be mentioned. Thank you.

Extremely clear and helpful.😄

Is there away to add a rotation to the sketch so that it twists while it rotates around the axis?

FINALLY i found a video showing that exact function i needed so badly Thanks so much! Left an abo while watching the video

great vid thx!

One thing to note. I've downloaded Gridfinity bins from many sources and imported them into FreeCAD 0.21.0 and the dev versions and once they are in FreeCAD, performing a sketch for example, takes about 12 seconds per line and it's damn slow. Not sure why tho.

So idk what I'm doing wrong here but I keep getting a box in the middle of the rotor when I try to insert the 135 mm pocket into the rear face of the rotor. It doesn't even go as deep to see the cooling fins. Any suggestions? Update: NVM Fixed by going 1mm smaller than 135 and it fixed the issue. I think it is perhaps due to my cooling ducts being on the 135mm construction circle at full length and getting cut through with the pocket i was trying to install.

tnx. is someone knows how can do the grnreating shape's measurmeunts function of the position along the line which we "rotate" about?

Hi Andrew, I see you've stopped doing the tutorials now. I've moved on from Freecad to Alibre Cad but needed to come back and refresh my memory as I needed to make a solid from an STL and can't do it in Alibre. Thanks again. Such a shame you've stopped as you're such a good and clear instructor. Jim 👍

Finnaly I was able to solve my problem thank you so much for this video

Thank you so much. 😃

How do you setup the sketches to be in the right positions for the path? All tutorials I've seen (including the official one) either have the sketches all start at the origin(including the pipe path itself) or they just start off with the sketeches in the correct positions, but none seem to show how you actually start with two independent sketches that you then align to make the pipe

steps: 1. select model, select "Part" in the top menu, select "create shape from mesh.." in a dropdown 2. click on a new piece of geometry select "Part" in the top menu, select "Convert to solid" hide previous items 3. click on a new piece of geometry select "Part" in the top menu, select "Create a copy" select "Refine shape" 4. click on a new piece of geometry select "create a new body and make it active" in the top long menu 5. export file as step or else

In the example you gave with the three rectangles, most FREECAD experts will say NOT to use datum planes. All you need to do is create a new sketch on the origin and offset the placement by the same method using the formulae you used. Datum planes should really be used for angled sketches.

Do you have a video showing how to create a pipe tee with the section teeing off smaller than the other?

Software app rule: "The higher the tolerance - the less time will be taken." Are you not aware that 0.5 is HIGHER than 0.1? That half is MORE than a tenth? That half is HIGHER than a tenth? 'Tolerance', is your tolerance of inaccuracy. The higher it is - the more 'tolerant' you are. (It's an engineering term - and without engineering - you can't be a engineering designer). Methinks that this is even worse: a poor fundamental understanding of maths (probably because younger people are never exposed to fractions - an obviously too difficult concept to teach kids now, because it was obviously too complex for you to learn). Current Socialist foundational education is dumbing down our kids quicker than 'war-mongering' Capitalism ever did. Some kids will watch this video, and this ignorance will throw their learning minds into confusion (even though they had it right first time - without you stating falsehoods). Andrew - it might be an idea to add a comment - pinned? Your in-video commentary highlights your engineering / mathematical ignorance. You need to beg pardon for it. ;-)

Question, there is a part i would like to model, and its the foot to the mpcnc machine. A gentleman using the Ls3 fork of freecad modeled the curved foot by offsetting copies of the same sketch at different sizes, then lofted. I would like to see it done using the pipe method. Thanks

Inspiring and excellent

Very inspiring! So useful! Great speed.

Let me just repeat the latest comment: Outstanding tutorial. Useful examples. Clearly explained. Bravo. Thank you.

excelent

Do this, do that..... But what shape binder IS? You need your $30 for YT so badly, pushing out semi-useless content.

Best Path tutorial I've seen. THANKS

Holy moly, I'm so sorry, you're clearly very good at this, but I can't follow. I just want to know how to pinch and pull in a single plane. Maybe I need a different program...

Yours have the best FreeCad tutorials I have come across. It's a shame that you aren't making videos any more.

4:11 How do you make the helix path?

Hello, I have the same version in FreeCAD as you, but the Thickness icon does not appear. What could it be due to?

I really struggled with a double loft ruled profile. Basically a piped profile with a shape as the profile crossed inner and outer walls at certain sections. I spent days trying to rectify it. In the end it appears Freecad joins profiles in the order you create them and not whether they are both inner or outer walls. Hope this helps someone.

Thanks Andrew. Nice and quick

Thank you. Verry good discribed.

Outstanding tutorial. Useful examples. Clearly explained. Bravo. Thank you.

Hi. my freecad don't have spiral pattern in 3d pocket. Do you install other plugin?

thank you what a fantastic video learning a lot!

Shift who? 1:04 when i try to enter the value, the camera angle changes...Not usual in any kind of cad/Bim software.

Great explanation of the helix tool! This is new to me, and you did a great job of showing how it works. thx.

thank you :)

Hello sir i m stl file to convert solid file please help contact nombar send please
