WOW ! the huge take away in the show for me was (edit additive pipe ) orientation mode -click standard to fixed ! It fixed my mangled surface that had pleats , warped and such. There is many take a ways in the show. Thanks for helping the masses.

[@saultigh4103]

Absolutely amazing and super useful! Please make more of these. You are doing such a huge service to the community. If I was rich, I'd donate something to you.

[@solosailor222]

Excellent teaching method and clarity, SUBCRIBED The Great Migration from Fusion360 to FreeCAD begins !!

[@designfreedom3651]

Definitely interested in the wheel tut for the next one. Apart from that, would you be interested in showing the sweep on two rails technique? Guess one needs the curves workbench for that.

[@larryvanderschaaf8964]

OH MY GOSH!!! This may solve the issue I've been trying to address for half a year now! Thank you!

[@JokoEngineeringhelp]

You got it! I just sent you an email with another suggestion too.

[@ExoContinuum]

Can't Thank you enough for these.

[@haldclark]

This was a great video. Thanks for making and sharing!

[@brucewilliams6292]

That was fun. You are really doing a great job with these videos. I learn so much from you. Thank you.

[@libregisin9878]

Very interesting video, I learn a lot watching your videos. In the Sketcher, you can deselect "Auto Update" to have less waiting. The update will be done when closing the sketch. Thanks a lot.

[@weldingempire]

I loved the music. Classic. This is above my pay grade and I had to google parametric equations. But very informative. The wheel looks like a great video.

[@nickvolling518]

Yes the video is helpfull! Freecad is such a nice program and all this for free. And you are creating a realy nice Library now. Thank you for that! :)

[@rklauco]

I'm still affraid to move from old SketchUp, but your videos are encouraging. Thanks!

[@bobbonham4823]

Another video filled with info. Thanks!

[@ikocheratcr]

Great videos. Can you make one on how you rotate the loft as it goes from one sketch to the other one. In other words, you use the same figure and end up with inward to outwards curvature, what I would like to know is not the loft can rotate 45 degrees and outwards curve meets outwards, same with inwards.

[@zordanxxx]

Whenever I try lofting I save before any attempt, I blame myself is anything goes wrong, I go with the confidence that I'm not losing anything. Keeping an eye on that chromed wheel if you happen to make a video. Every single drawing helps and thanks a lot.

[@JokoEngineeringhelp]

That's a good habit to be in, I sometimes remember to save. I could be a bit more like you. The wheel is coming!

[@WaveIO]

definitely I'm wishing you to make that video for the wheel!

[@JokoEngineeringhelp]

Done. Check back soon

[@edwardarmstrong5993]

Great Video Thanks!

[@BrainDeadEngineering]

Your a Genius ! Got to be genetic !

[@technikstudio7504]

Hey great video thanks a lot. Perhaps you could show in one of your next vids how it works to use the sweep on two rails feature in curves wb.... This would be a great help. Thanks a lot.

[@JokoEngineeringhelp]

I should cover that. In the meantime I cover a very similar concept here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6myfYKrr7SKbLc

[@dimakrayushkin]

It is possible to model tyre (with modern pattern) in FreeCad? Maybe idea for future video.

[@danielwilson2086]

Nice tutorial :)

[@d_agudo]

Very well explained!!!! I would really appreciate if you could tell me how i can get A2Plus workbench installed.... I tried everything from manual installation to using the addon manager but nothing seems to work. I'm running freecad in ubuntu. Thanks a lot!

[@JokoEngineeringhelp]

You hit everything I would suggest, the folks at freecadweb.org forum may be able to help better than me.

[@d_agudo]

@@JokoEngineeringhelp i made it work! Finally!... I'm running Freecad on Linux so i reinstalled it with the apt command instead of snap. Thanks anyways!

[@slappynutsphd]

How about drawing between planes that are not parallel, like a runner for a turbo header?

[@tonystreet226]

Not sure if your still around but I'm stuck when it comes to adding the multisection. I keep getting a AdditivePipe: Links go out of the allowed scope error. Been browsing the forums and double checked the lines created normal to the plane. Can't determine what the issue is. Any help would be great.

[@JokoEngineeringhelp]

I can take a quick look if you're able to email the part to the address in the description

[@Tokomak_5]

I'm interested in creating twested profiled staicase handrails between building levels, and they are very dificult to create corectly in CAD software.

[@JokoEngineeringhelp]

Very interesting. Are we talking about a constant radius, constant pitch helix you need to make?

[@harishkumargajakosh5483]

Hi! That was fun. Could you please teach me how to make a 3D sketch in FreeCAD

[@lemosluthier]

Hello, I'm trying to make a marvel track with multisection and a 3d path with no lucky. How can i aproach that?

[@Dr_Mauser]

Can you do this kind of thing with end faces that are not on parallel planes? For example you might have an engine header, or a curved stair railing.

[@JokoEngineeringhelp]

I know for sure it works for freecad's 'loft', I haven't tried it with a sweep but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

[@Dr_Mauser]

@@JokoEngineeringhelp Cool, I just haven't seen it done anywhere. Even the other loft and sweep tutorial, the start and end shapes are on the regular axial planes. I was wondering how to put one at an angle. (The guys who build spiral staircases with helical panels just blow my mind, and they aren't even using CAD!)

[@JokoEngineeringhelp]

@@Dr_Mauser The most straightforward way in the workflow I use is create a datum plane in the part design workbench. The menu to create a datum plane allows you to position the plane and then specify a rotation on each axis. Does that help?

[@Dr_Mauser]

@@JokoEngineeringhelp That should do it. I'm just starting to use this (New Ender 3 for Christmas) and while I've used some other stuff, these videos show me just how in depth this can get. Also noticed I can't bring in an image into a sketch workspace, or sketch on top of an imported .png. I guess I have to do it in a part space like that car demo.

[@JokoEngineeringhelp]

@@Dr_Mauser I'm not sure if I fully understand your issue with images but after importing an image from the image WB you do have to rotate the viewport to see the image. Sometimes one side of the image will not display, which edit>preferences>display>enable white backlight color will fix. Sketching really is only available on one side of the plane, so if you're not able to sketch on the side you want you can highlight the sketch in the tree, properties>map reverse = true to sketch on the other side. If you can see, the image works with the part design workbench here kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4fQpXSGZrB2nLs Best

[@lrochfort]

Could you please explain what "normal" means in this context?

[@JokoEngineeringhelp]

If you are lofting from sketch to sketch, normal to profile will make the profile being lofted "normal" or at 90 degrees to the sketch plane. Here's an example cad.onshape.com/help/Content/Resources/Images/m-feature-tools/loft_normal.png

[@lrochfort]

@@JokoEngineeringhelp Thanks very much. Great content as ever

[@mathumphreys]

The wheel would be good.

[@robcarnaroli269]

Ha pull over free cad you've had a bit to much to think!

[@gokutoriyama3179]

Model a banana that would some high level stuff.

[@JokoEngineeringhelp]

Is this close enough? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmKlY3yAepuXr9E

[@pierrec1590]

The frequency at which the crash we see at 11:20 happened to me is exactly what led me to abandon FreeCAD. I tried to compile it myself and also ran into problems. My conclusion at the time was that it was a commendable effort by a few amateurs, but not worth spending my time on.

[@now-you-know-it]

Crap. Very few can follow that very small and so fast pointer.👎👎

[@leonardochiruzzi7642]

What the hell are you saying? Not a good reason to leave the dislike. At most ask to improve the explanation. What am I supposed to? since I don't know English and I don't understand anything. I just have to imitate him to practice. I've already followed his previous wheel tutorial and it was a success. Thanks Joko

[@now-you-know-it]

@@leonardochiruzzi7642 Thanks for the comment. I left 4 comments on previous videos of yours and never a answer received. I commented on various other video makers videos and received very positive feed back and quick response. OK I will re-comment my previous comments which all are the same. There are many people with poor eye sight. For us a small fast moving pointer at times just disappear. A LARGER pointer do solve the problem mostly. The best colors are the usual white with a black edge. I thank You

[@clarsen9088]

Can't keep up huh? Time to retire?

[@JokoEngineeringhelp]

Pieter, There are several issues with what is going on here. First, I'm running in Ubuntu 18.04, and on that OS even a larger pointer by default resizes over FreeCAD. Secondly, the cursor for the constraints defaults to a small size regardless of the size of the cursor which is probably what happens when you say you lose the cursor. Third, you have left a number of comments here and said I never got back to you. KZbin tells me your fist comment was 1 week ago, so I know I'm getting back to you at least within two weeks; given the fact that I have many videos queued to go live you would not even be in a position to change until at least several months from now. My timeline in getting back to you now however is pretty good considering I’m an individual that is not charging anyone to view these. But given the fact that you have left a comment such as this on a video that has no intention for a user to follow a cursor and doesn't even show my own work, it’s showing the work of another, I don't have assurance that these are genuine comments. For these reasons I think you negative comment and ratings are unwarranted. If you are truly receiving positive feedback from other users than I suggest you keep following them because your forceful and impolite nature has turned me off from helping you. Good day.

[@neilnagel9857]

I agree it can be pretty hard to follow freecad videos. One thing I've found to be helpful is to go to settings (the gear looking thing at the bottom of the youtube screen) and change the playback speed. If you click on the playback speed it gives you several options of changing the speed faster or slower. But this presenter does an excellent job of giving us information that I've not been able to find elsewhere. And he asks for nothing in return.
