    Sir, I would like to encourage you to continue making Ondsel tutorials. Your presentation is technically sound, and your workflow is rational and easy to follow, as is your speech. I'm new to Ondsel and CAD overall, thus I'm presently lacking the basics. However, I can compartmentalize your logical tutorials and incorporate as I get up to speed with the basics. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with others!!

    I've needed this so badly! I've actually had a really hard time dealing with variables to be shared across models (without resorting to multipart) in other CAD software. Usually, my go-to was to use excel spreadsheets to drive a design - but that had strange limitations. This looks basically like multpart, but does seem intuitive to use. Support for integer lists seem to indicate that configurations might be a *really* nice! I'm excited to try this out!
    Also: *finally* a linux CAD suite that's (maybe) ready for prime-time! I know freeCAD has been here a minute, but I just ...couldn't take the interface/breakage. Recent updates to Ondsel make me feel like it's (maybe) time to dive in - tutorials like this go a long way! Thank you!

      but the way people from finland speak so slowly and with their accent makes the video drag on. Not that i don't mind the accent, but i feel like the video is going way too slow as if i'm being talked to incredibly slow on purpose because someone assumes i'm retarded. LOL.
      good info though.

    I found this to be an excellent introduction tutorial into Ondsel ES / FreeCAD. Thank you for your hard work!

    That is handy. I can see a case both for variable sets, and for spreadsheet/alias. I can imagine a scenario where it is just easier to see all parameters in a single sheet and be able to navigate them without a lot of GUI clicking, plus the ability to use cells for notes or related information.

    Great video! I found this very useful. Please make more videos using Ondsel ES - its UI and workflow is on another level, the best next step forward for struggling FreeCAD beginners. Thank you for all the useful tips and good explanations, so far, and all time and effort you must put into your quality videos. Cheers!

      You can have pretty much the same UI if you apply OpenLight theme and a few non-default settings (like a tree overlay and TabBar workbench selector) to FreeCAD 0.22 dev (to be released as 1.0). Most features, including VarSets, are also available upstream.

    Excellent video. This is my first intro to CAD in general. Very helpful to get a base understanding of how it works. One thing I might add, it was a little difficult to figure out what you were doing when you sped up the video bits. But aside from that, thank you very much!

    So this is pretty much a replacement for Dynamic Data? Really great that there’s a built-in solution now.

  • @mihailazar2487
    @mihailazar2487 2 місяці тому

    You can do this in the original Freecad. It's been available as an add-on for many years now. It's called DynamicData. It does the exact same thing as shown here.

      it seems they have the same behavior that it's not possible to directly change the variable name, but first delete and then create...

  • @MikkoRantalainen
    @MikkoRantalainen Місяць тому

    Note that at least FreeCAD version 1.0 candidate had a bug where you MUST select the parameter from the drop down or the "OK" button never activates. If you fully type the parameter name instead, then the "OK" button will stay disabled.

    Is there a list of all the available variable labels and variable groups ? Because we can assume that we can't invent them for this to work properly. Thank

    At about 7:00, you set the cube's color to orange. I can't get this to work in FC 0.22.38001 or Ondsel 2024.2.38021 - the shape just remains gray. Could this be caused by a preference setting? Or perhaps it's a regression.

    given the updates to freecad with .22 and 1.0 coming, and with some of the yet to be merged features of linkstage, which do you think you'll be working with more: Ondsel, 0.22dev/1.0, or linkstage?

    • @OficineRobotica
      @OficineRobotica  5 місяців тому +1

      It is called PieMenu, you can install it using the AddonManager. I will make a video on how to costumiste this addon.

    Why have a separate entity like CubeProperties with variables instead of just naming the relevant constraints and refer to them directly, or if it's some property then refer to that directly??

    • @OficineRobotica
      @OficineRobotica  5 місяців тому +1

      Var sets are not only about Property.Length or Integer. VarSet can store properties like Color, Link etc etc so they offer a centralized place where to modify values across file/files. Also, imagine handing out your complex file to a customer that want's to make on the fly modifications. Intuitive naming of variables in a VarSet can make this operation a breeze instead of explaining where to hunt for all the values. Also, VarSets can be used headless. That extends to the freecad file format and would be a whole tutorial in itself

    You said that VariableSets can be used to store values across files. How does that work? Isn't a VariableSet stored inside of a FCStd file?

      Yes, you are right, it was a issue with the background music audio level being way to low thus in some cases only the snares are popping out . I'll correct that in the next videos
