Wow, this is basically a Part Design Workbench reference book, but in video form, with explanations and examples of how to use EACH of the buttons. FANTASTIC! I know this was made 2 years ago, but years later, it's still helping out beginners and people new to FreeCAD. Thank you so much for taking the time and energy to create this!
this video is absolutely fantastic! you took me from "how do i even start" to "now i can actually create models!" i cannot express how valuable this tutorial has been
It may seem dumb that you have to explain this to us like we are dum, but it really helps with the newer users. i hate when the tutorials say terms and use hotkeys like we took 2 years of college courses already. by far the best tutorial i have found, i watched ALOT. Liked and subbed i will be following your content!
2D sketches are easy enuff, but putting them together into 3D objects never quite clicked until watching this. Been using mostly primitive boolean shapes in the part workbench, it's worked well enough to do FDM 3D prints for a few years. Thanks for helping move on to the next level.
Just to add another vote of thanks. The part design workbench has been looming over me for a while now and I've been doing everything a rather long winded way in the part workbench. My eyes have now been opened!
Man, I don't usually leave comments, but this video deserves one. Thank you so much for teaching me how to use CAD! Keep up with the good work and thanks again
*3 WEEK REVIEW OF THIS TUTORIAL* This video has become my "handbook" for FreeCAD "part design." I tried 2 other tutorials before this channel, and they weren't nearly as rich and efficient as this one. If I need to know something else more specific, I'll search UA-cam for that specific topic (hopefully Joko-created), ask the freecad forum Joko recommends, or post a question here. Joko has been extremely helpful. Very grateful for this video and teacher. 👍👍
Wow! I thought that this 2.5 hour video was going to be drawn out with a bunch of fluff. Was I wrong. No fluff and pretty much to the point. Well worth watching. Thank you for your effort. I am just getting into FreeCAD and this is a great leasson.
This is awesome! A lot of really useful content to learn how to use every single tool in the part design workbench. I hope more people get to this video because it's really well done. Thanks for the effort you put on recording this!
Thank you for this. For whatever reason, construction lines did not make sense to me until this video. Such an abundance of knowledge you’re passing on. Thanks again.
I'm on my third attempt to learn FreeCAD. By far, this has been the best tutorial I've found. Paced well, taught well, and builds logically in fundamental skills. Thank you.
I believe that the "Clone" icon is the head of Dolly the Sheep, the first mammal to be successfully cloned, now stuffed and on exhibit at the National Museum of Scotland, in Edinburgh. I remember seeing Dolly while touring the museum, which is how I made the association. I have been fumbling around trying to find a truly free CAD program to use, and this video makes me lean heavily into Freecad. Thank you for your efforts. They are helping a lot of people.
I am a Catia and Rhino user. I have used other CAD systems. I always recommend Rhino. Friends who do not want to spend the money can get an awful lot of value with FreeCAD, and use this excellent tutorial. Well done, and many thanks !
This videos works fantastic if you already started using FreeCAD and need to get back to basics. It covers all the tools you can use with Part Design. I had quite a few 'aha!' moments while you pointed out the things I missed. I really liked how you explained the more advanced stuff that people will only start using later on. Tools like sweep and loft I have been putting off for ages, because they look so daunting. This will make it easier to get started. I already recommended this video for everyone who I know already uses FreeCAD to get a more solid basic foundation of the Part Design toolbox. This video will give you enough information to get into trouble with the object tree, topological naming problem and a few other issues I had in the past. It took me ages of puzzling to figure out that the list of actions in the Model tree concerned the chronological order of how FreeCAD draws the Body. Especially when different actions start to interact, it might get complex. So a video on troubleshooting the common things you might run into, would also help. But I'll first let you get your voice back. (Also a video on using A2+ assembly, Part Design and Fastener workbench to create a mechatronic assembly would help a lot of people.) Thank you very, very much for making this video. The clone icon represents 'Dolly the sheep'. The first cloned mammal.
Thanks a lot for this! Those are great suggestions and I am planning on making a 'chapter 2' to follow this up (Once I get my voice back of course). That reference to the sheep is awesome!
This is by far the best tutorial I've seen on FreeCAD. I installed the program to draw out the plans for a chicken coup. Could have done it with pencil and paper but wanted to be able to make it easier to make changes as I designed it. Looked at several tutorials but couldn't make head or tails of how to use the program. Finally figured out pretty much on my own how to do what I needed but knew there was much more. Now I think I'm going to actually be able to use the program.
Thank you for your video. I always found the shape binder a mystery. By the way, the "clone" icon is the head of a sheep. Dolly the sheep was famous for being the first clone of an animal that complex.
This was an amazing video. I just moved into FreeCAD from basic modeling in blender. It explained a lot. Feeling pretty confident in making a few parts here. Cheers!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I'm an hour through so far and I can't wait to finish and start creating functional models for 3d printing. One strange thing that happened in the beginning was when I box selected to delete lines every line immediately turned black with the connecting dots also being black. I repeated the same process (creating a couple of lines and trying to box select them) and the same event occurred, even after restarting the program. After being confused and annoyed for a minute I simply continued on with the tutorial and about 20-30 minutes in it started functioning normally. Very confusing... Again, thanks so much for this tutorial. It's extremely useful!
Many thanks. I'm vaguely familiar with the issue you're having but I have never experienced it myself. I think it's related to software resources or something like that. There is a discussion on it here: forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=57744
Thank you so much. This is just an amazing quality video for a beginner like me. 2.35.54 hours of golden educational material! Love the way you present the stuff btw. Very steady and calm.
What a fantastic video. I can't watch it now though I'm very busy at the mo. I did flick through it and am VERY impressed. You've obviously put in a tremendous amount of work to produce this superb tutorial. I thank you. Jim
At 11:00, for flexibility in making changes, 1) create a part and rename it descriptively, 2) create body, and then 3) create sketch. Parts and bodies each have coordinate systems (origin) so that the locations and orientations of pads and pockets are more independent of the first structure when they have different origins. Proper use of datum planes also introduces an essential independence between bodies and pocket/pad intersections. Before I figured this out, FreeCAD was exceptionally frustrating -- every trivial change caused errors.
I think I have heard people talk of this, and how it helps create a stable model. Thanks for bringing attention to it, and with the time stamp marker, so people can check it out, and go right to it. Thanks.
I have heard people talk of this but never found a proper tutorial explaining this workflow comprehensively. Almost everybody shows to sketch on faces, but when you want to make a change the model breaks.
Thank you... My uncad brain has just had a wiring update For whatever reason I find it difficult to grasp CAD packages ...all the mouse clicking and many menus and icons...i just find it so frustrating... Now I find you video and it starts making sense... Spot on vid!
reading comments this seems like a perfect video, i used to 3d model in high school using the program Inventor which is way too expensive for personal usage and FreeCAD being pretty different from inventor, seems to be exactly what i need to get the basics of this program
I love the way you talk man. I think you are going to be my "go to" FreeCad teacher. I am going to check out all of your videos. I heard of you from other channels, and I think you are probably the guy that made a fork of FreeCad to fix an important bug having to do with "topology naming". Either way, it is nice to hear someone talk who has your level of intelligence. I never get to talk to people like you in real life. All the people I meet, ....well, ...let's just say they are not like you. I'm going to be here on your channel for a long time. Thanks.
Excellent tutorial I have been using FreeCAD for years but I always learn new things watching these videos. The chamfer tool also has an angle and distance option
Thank you for the video. It's what I needed for a full introduction to Freecad, and the way you explained everything helped a lot in understanding quickly!
11:07 If you don't want to remember which plane is which, you can just look at upper right rotation widget and it will say which is top, front, and side (right/left)
Thank you so much! I messed around with Solid Works several years ago, but only for reference or to share part modification ideas. This gave me such a good starting point with CAD. I see that you have a chapter 2 video out. I can't wait to get started!
Thank you soo much for that terrific video. I have been trying to learn FreeCAD and this summaries, then adds to the knowledge gained. I particularly like that you include corrections because when learning new software I ways end up wondering whether its me or the programme (usually me) and this type of presentation helps enormously. Again thankyou very much. P.S. I expect someone has already mentioned but I have always taken "Cyclops2 to be Dolly the Sheep, the first live clone.👍
Great Video to learn from start ! I had to search several videos and found this one as the best to learn from the beginning , the pace is optimal , the sequence is good !
Great introduction to an overwhelming bit of software! I've taught/used all sorts of Cad software over the years and I am finally getting a handle on Freecad. I came to this video already familiar with a lot of the content, but came away with a much better understanding of how all this fits together.
Absolute fantastic video. Thank you for this.I like the in depth look on a bench by bench basis. By the way, I'm pretty sure the clone icon is in reference to Dolly the Sheep
this tutorial is awesome especially if u follow along step by step with him u will get so much benefit really thnx a lot for taking the time to put on such an awesome tutorial series...truly brilliant peace may Allah or God reward u massively for spreading knowledge thnx :))
Hi, Joko. It's been 2 months now, since this video. Hope you continue very soon with the next Part, because you really explain things in deep and this tutorial is one of the best right now on UA-cam. So, please upload asap the next Part (all your audience is waiting for). Thanks in advance and many greetings for you. This is John from Chile, South America.
Thank you so much. This was awesome! It is amazing that you took some much time and effort to put this out there. I am huge fan of Frecad and have been using it for a a while note. But you did a great job of exlaining a few of the things that have often been a little frustrating. In particular the shape binder. One practice that I have done, that I did not see with you, is am pretty particular about creating new part, new body, then to sketch. I am also renaming my bodies at that time as well. Cheers...
Very, very helpful, thank you. I've been watching freecad for many years, but I'm getting ready to move over to it for my work (PCB design using KiCAD)
FYIO: In the development-version (0.20), PartDesign Hole can create the threads too (toggle: Model Thread). This is computational expensive, as you already mentioned.
I'm following the tutorial and playing around in a nightly version on Fedora and when I toggled Model Thread, my CPU went in a Boost mode for few second, I thought FreeCAD was about to crash. My immediate thought was "OK, not gonna touch this one anymore" 🤣️
Great video! Really helped me to get started! I came here because I found out about a local makerspace and wanted to be able to make models for 3d printing. I only had some limited experience with blender before (mostly as a video editor though).
Fantastic video. I just want to point out in current 0.21.1 the hole tool actually has the ability to model the threads now. Still heavy but it's there. I printed some threads and they worked great. Thanks again.
The "orange cyclops" looks like a sheep to me, at 2:29:40, might be a reference to Dolly -the cloned sheep. Thanks for a great intro video, helped a lot!
This video is awesome thank you! Only trouble I had was not selecting auto-remove redundant constraints in preferences. Took a while for me to remember that when trying to figure out why all my shapes were breaking when adding constraints.
I am 26 minutes in (pausing as needed) and I must say, this is an excellent video. I downloaded FreeCAD in December to use for a project I am beginning to work on. I watched a ton of videos and I was unable to follow what was supposed to be teaching for beginners. After a month and a half of spinning my wheels, this video is teaching me! In 26 minutes I have been able to follow along and make sketches. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I had someone order a product I listed in a custom size, and I recently found out I can't use fusion for this with the license I have, so I have to use this. So basically I need to learn it fast enough to also get the part to start printing by tonight. Since I'm pretty good with fusion, this video is enough to get me where I need to be :)
43:57, you were having trouble with the redundant restraints because you set that in the preferences. The reference dimension measurement was new to me, so I like that tip.
computationally intensive basically depends on the quality of your graphics card, which when it came time to buy a new laptop, I opted for a "Gaming" laptop. your "Black" object when working with the helix gave me no issues whatsoever.
comprehensive and concise. well worth the time spent watching. exactly the video i've been looking for. will be saving for future reference for sure.👍👍👍👍👍

Fantastic video. I just want to point out in current 0.21.1 the hole tool actually has the ability to model the threads now. Still heavy but it's there. I printed some threads and they worked great. Thanks again.
I do need to make a new one of these to cover recent versions. Thanks for posting updates.
wow what a fantastic tutorial. so clearly explained and presented. Thankyou so much. I must explore your other material/courses
This video is extremely helpful. Gosh there is a lot to learn, as with any powerful tool.
incredible video! thanks you, this can be very usefull for everyone!
Amazing video, really good explanation of the whole basis of freecad, it worth the time!!... Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Very good pacing, clear explanations and complete guide thank you a lot !
Thanks a lot for this long video. Many informations - just right for beginners like me.
I absolutely appreciate your effort. I will be using it as a reernce to teach myself. Thanks much.
The "orange cyclops" looks like a sheep to me, at 2:29:40, might be a reference to Dolly -the cloned sheep. Thanks for a great intro video, helped a lot!
This video is awesome thank you! Only trouble I had was not selecting auto-remove redundant constraints in preferences. Took a while for me to remember that when trying to figure out why all my shapes were breaking when adding constraints.
The cyclops used for the clone function icon is Dotty the sheep they cloned back in the 90's btw, if you're still wondering.
I'd love it if you could make a tutorial on Asembly4 and how to multi-part designs, with master sketches and cross references if possible.
I am 26 minutes in (pausing as needed) and I must say, this is an excellent video. I downloaded FreeCAD in December to use for a project I am beginning to work on. I watched a ton of videos and I was unable to follow what was supposed to be teaching for beginners. After a month and a half of spinning my wheels, this video is teaching me! In 26 minutes I have been able to follow along and make sketches. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I had someone order a product I listed in a custom size, and I recently found out I can't use fusion for this with the license I have, so I have to use this. So basically I need to learn it fast enough to also get the part to start printing by tonight. Since I'm pretty good with fusion, this video is enough to get me where I need to be :)
43:57, you were having trouble with the redundant restraints because you set that in the preferences. The reference dimension measurement was new to me, so I like that tip.
I love this video. So much information. Thank you! 🙏 Also, I think the clone body is a sheep - the OG clone.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Great video.
computationally intensive basically depends on the quality of your graphics card, which when it came time to buy a new laptop, I opted for a "Gaming" laptop. your "Black" object when working with the helix gave me no issues whatsoever.
comprehensive and concise. well worth the time spent watching.
exactly the video i've been looking for. will be saving for future reference for sure.👍👍👍👍👍
THANK YOU! Keep doing what you do! Brilliant!
