Seriously.... After DAYS of looking through tutorials, i literally learned more in these 20 minutes than the hours i wasted on other videos.... Superb!!
This is what I call a talented teacher! 10/ 10
One heck of a tutorial. Fast... No bloat... Just the needed skills shown! Good job!
I learnt more from this video about using Freecad than anywhere else. Thanks! What I realised is that most of the time I know what I want to do, but do not know the terminology used to search about it. For example, it would not be straight-forward for a beginner to guess that you need to use a pocket to create a hole. Keep these tutorials coming :)
Equal, horizontal, vertical and symmetrical constraints will improve and speed up your workflow quite a bit. Especially with the holes, create one and the rest will automatically follow the constraints. This is key when your designs become more complex and requires changes. Also note that you can adjust the way the mouse navigation works in many different ways - in preferences > display > navigation
Watching him do his constraints and the pocket reminds me of people who center text with multiple spaces and paginate with multiple enters in word processors. Yes, those will work, but it is more precise and more forgiving of future edits to use the proper alignment/constraint tools within the software package...
One surprisingly useful Workbench in FreeCAD is Spreadsheet. It makes your design parametric. So you link the dimensions to the drawing and instead of tweaking numbers in the drawing one just goes to the spreadsheet and changes the values. The spreadsheet operates similarly to a normal spreadsheet where values can be formulated to calculate the value. Also there is a macro which one can use to make it easier to make a cell name alias something descriptive. So for example instead of say cell C4 it can be called "Width".
as far as perspective controls go, you don't even need to go in to settings, just click on the little icon in the bottom left corner.
Thanks for teaching an old man how to do it. I learned more in this
Freecad is pretty great. It's not perfect, and not as polished as some commercial CAD programs. But for hobbyists like me it's perfect. There are heaps of tutorials on youtube, too.
Blender is opensource and VERY VERY VERY polished. There are no interest by FreeCad to improve, this is it.
@@luizcarlosquerido2943blender is too technical. learning curve is steep for a novice
@@luizcarlosquerido2943
blender != CAD
Hope you understand
Why are you here watching basic steps to learning freeCAD if you're so happy with another program?
That doesn't even make sense.
@@luizcarlosquerido2943
Saying that FreeCad is not perfect is an understatement, it downright sucks compared to fusion360.
Mainly because it doesn’t auto snap lines and allow the user to make a sketch 3d without 10 extra obnoxious steps the cad modeler should be assuming, it should be editable by the user, in case of a problem. Not forced by default.
if I could have the fusion360 full experience 1:1 from free cad I’d shitcan fusion immediately while giving them the double birds but until then free cad is foreign and alien to normal users especially when compared to fusion.
Love the straightforward, teach by example route. Exactly what a beginner would need to learn this quickly. Great tutorial.
I agree. This is the way to go.
I love walk-throughs like this that are straight to the point. I'm just starting to learn so this was very helpful. Thank you.
Have been using FreeCad quite a lot and still learned something. GREAT tutorial! Super compact!
It really does not matter for the part you created in this video, yet worth mentioning; instead of increasing the depth dimension of a hole, choose the feature "through hole" (many CAD systems offer an option to select last surface to "punch" through. When designing plastics parts a general rule is to ad a rounding to all concave transitions of stressed/load bearing features. And lastly a DFA tip: always add a chamfer to surfaces that has to be pushed over another part (and a rounding to any feature that has to go into a hole ... but here the boom arm is already round).
Direct and straightforward guide... and fun as well. As a mechanical engg it's great to see that I can stay on linux and not need to switch to windows all the time when I need CAD software. Thanks.
Been using freecad for a long long time. Thanks for helping beginners out, it's a very important part of Freecad. Getting started is the hardest part. After a while you find it fun to figure out the easiest or best way to do stuff.
Man this was my hurdle too. I'd been trying to apply TinkerCAD principals to FreeCAD, which was tripping me up really bad. But now I can get some basic, precise designs in, all in about 15 minutes. I love the fast pace you taught this, as it kept me from getting bored and matched about how fast I like to blow through things. Thank you so much!
This was FANTASTIC, I am super bad at math and design but after watching this I feel like I have actually learned something. I am just now getting into 3 D printing and I really wanted to learn to make my own useful items but had no idea what to do. This I feel is a great starting point for me. Thank You so much for this!
Awesome! I am a huge CadSTD user, except it is 2D only. So for me to jump into FreeCAD, you really have helped me a lot!
This is an excellent video! I was so confused by how to build my own piece. Now with your video, I made my first piece! I've got a few tweaks to go, but you've simplified the process and made it understandable. Thanks!!! FreeCad FTW!
I just started playing with FreeCAD and obviously came in contact with the wall of daunt. Thanks for this it's just what I needed to go forward! 🙂
Wow, this video was a great crash course! I can't believe how fast it got me up and running with FreeCad. Thanks!
Probably the best CAD tutorial I've seen in a long time. Well done dude
This was brilliant! Many thanks. I had to suffer through many FreeCad tutorials explaining lots of minute detail, but this taught me so much in a short space of time!
Thank you
Wow, this was awesome. You really tore down one of my barriers to entry that making a simple part could be, so simple. Looking forward to giving this a go. Thanks for the video!
You have no idea how much this helped me... I was so overwhelmed!
Best FreeCad tute I have found so far, thank you. It gives me a good start.
That was really good, have been hesitant to dive into yet another cad program but this video has convinced me to give it a shot. If you by chance to do more on this subject, I'm listening.
Thankyou for making this video. I followed you through every step and have a foundational understanding to build on now.
Man, this was the video I was looking after.. so intuitive and clear. Now I can properly start doing my own designs. Thanks for the info!
That external geometry tip has blown my mind. Up until now I've calculated the previous shape and created construction lines manually mathematically. True life saver
I have spent hours trying to learn to create my own simple designs. This cleared up all the confusion for me. It is a very good entry video. I see a lot of suggestions in the comments to impove but i think that would just have made the video much longer and difficult to follow for a beginner. So thats learning for another day. Thanks for making the video and keeping it simple 🙂
I've learned how to model in OnShape, then Fusion 360 then back to OnShape and all along tried to model with FreeCad but gave up before getting to make anything in FreeCad, until watching this video. Thank you for keeping it simple enough to get a model finished with FreeCad. I now know that I will be able to use FreeCad to create all my 3D models. I really wanted to use FreeCad because it's the only free CAD software that allows me to create things I want to sell. I'm going to be watching your other FreeCad videos, thank you again!!!
Been years since I've used cadd and wanted to try this out but it was daunting. I gained a lot from this video, Thanks.
Perfection! I am a game designer, with extensive knowledge on Game Engines and their UX/UI. This tutorial was a great, well paced, perfect beginning examples with demonstrated steps that can be easily followed along with on a second monitor. Only fumble was the right-click to get out of the tool at the beginning, but you hammered that point home for the rest of the tutorial. Well done, you have my gratitude!
Don that was awesome, I have since installed freecad and learning to use it. Thank you for this video.
Wow... I really struggled more than I thought with this program, but after pausing and rewatching your tutorial over 3 days I finally made my breakthrough and got over my hurdle. Thanks so much for showing the "long way" of this program, as now it's starting to make perfect sense to me.
wow. That was the best video I have seen. All my little questions got answered without wasting hours and hours. Thank you.
Very simple video, but has so much depth. This really helped me get started with FreeCad. Thank you for your work ! please continue ..
Amazing tutorial. Thank you. I have learned more from your video than i have in the last day of trying to figure out freecad. Thank you.
Great demo Don. I am new to the 3D printing hobby and woould really like to design my own models. FreeCAD looks like the way to go. I really appreciate the time you took to make and post this video
This helped me a lot, I made my first bit holder. Thank you for helping open this world for me!!
This is tryly the only tut you need for your intro class. Thank you sir.
Awesome tutorial!!! easy to follow and i was able to duplicate the part quickly with very minimal pause/rewind! thank you.
You can actually import an image such as the one for the Pi . Then adjust the scale so that it is correct with respect to the FreeCAD units. Then you can build your model around the image.
If you can get 3 axis view images ,then you can attach each one to a relevant plane in the 3D view
Excellent and straight to the point tutorial. Thanks! You saved me a ton of time!
Great video, the example is simple enough but uses several different functions. Thanks for giving me a jump start into FreeCAD
By far the best video for raw beginners. Well explained and easy to follow. Made my first custom desk light base to replace the broken one using this video and it was perfect.
Thank you so much, man. This was a really great refresher for me.
OMG this is the first video I have seen explaining how to design 3D files for beginner! Thank you so much! Now It is close for me to make a decision for purchasing a 3d printer!
Very clear and exhaustive explanation. I use to look to freecad in the past just to close it immediately after terrified. But after your video I regain my courage. 👍
Dude... I have been intimidated by FreeCad for so long. This was super helpful!
God bless you sir. Your training video here was clear, concise, and easy to follow. Just like you said, easy to pick up the ball and run with it after you learn these basics.
Thanks mate! Great video, you're giving the basics from which one can work the rest out!
Thanks for showing the *mechanics* of enough to get started with!
Thank you for this. I've been struggling with freecad for a while, but this kind of gets me to where I am with Fusion.
Thanks from Denmark!
You are really good at explaining and showing what to do.. I would like more videos about free cad :D
The most helpful totorial ive seen i was actually avle to retain some of things you didnt go in too deep and you stuck with the basics i.e constranting everytbing onstead of just copying. Thanks man i creayed a rough sketch of a gated shifter for my car hopefilly theyll let me cut one up at work
Dude. Thank you so much! I had downloaded about 3 different cad software to try and everyone I backed away from because it looked so intimidating and difficult to use. Now that I have a basic understanding from your video, I can experiment with cad. Instant sub! Thanks!! Aloha from Hawaii.
This helped alot. I appreciate vids like this so much. Very well spoken, easy to follow and very punctual.
Thanks for posting!
I will now go in, knowing some of the tools I need to get started with this software!
Freecad beginer tutorial was a great help, never thaught i could grasp it but you made it easy to follow, thank you.
This is a real gift. Thank you.
Thank you! You did for my understanding, what tons of others could not. Liked and subscribed!
Loving the hands-on tutorial style
This was a great video. I am just learning freecad for 3D Printing. I am working through some intro books, but this video really helped tie everything together to get started.
Thank you! I am a mechanical engineer who has been using SolidWorks for 10+ years and I wanted to try FreeCad for hobby 3d printing stuff and I could not figure out how to use it. This info is a good start.
I followed along and did not miss a step. It took me 2 hours to watch and copy, but I did it lol I made one on the resin printer and another on the filament printer, both turned out great! Thanks
Thank you very much for the tutorial. i didnt know which program to use to start learning in the world of 3d parts creation and you really helped me out here. It wasnt to long or too short and i could understand and follow through while not being overwhelmed. Great Video ! =)
Very well done, excellent presentation. This lesson has allowed me to start the program with ease, thank you.
External geometry was the button I missed to make this program work for me, thank you.
Super easy to follow. I followed you and built the identical part. I don't need that part, but I can start trying things I need. Thank you.
Thanks for the tutorial. I was you when I first downloaded FreeCad, I could not get started. You have managed to get me through the first stages. Thank you again.
Learning FreeCad is a serious endeavor, and there has been a lack of useful tutorials.
Thank you for walking through a simple project to show the usage process. Big help. 👍
Are you kidding? There are plenty of useful tutorials that have been on YT for FreeCAD going on YEARS.
@@kwisatzhaderach1458Here is a Gom Jebar for you. I'm a research junkie. I don't rely on one person's perspective for any subject I research, mostly because people don't know how to explain things properly.
After five or more videos, of at least four FreeCad tutorial creators, I did not have the ability to start a project, draw a shape, or modify a shape. It annoyed me so much I removed FreeCad from my computer.
In this video here, "Learn FreeCad with These Basic Steps" gave me hope, that I could build a simple part in FreeCad. Because of this video I reinstalled FreeCad.
This content creator did what everyother tutorial I consumed failed at, a simple project hand holding walk through. Every tutorial should begin this way. 90% of guitar song tutorials do this.
Thanks alot first person that explained the basics in a way I could understand.
Trying to get away from Fusion 360 I've watched 10+ videos on basics of FreeCad. This is by far the most helpful and straightforward one I've seen.
This was the perfect tutorial that I needed, thank you very much!
Great tutorial to follow along with. Thanks for the lesson.
Thanks for this tutorial! I needed some not super complicated parts to make by myself and I was able to do it just with this tutorial :D
Best freecad tutorial I’ve seen!
That was a great video. Learned quite a bit, and subscribed. Thank you.
Simply put, invaluable information no 3D printer enthusiast should ignore! 👍
this helped so much thanks for posting!
Thank you very much for the informative walkthrough.
That was amazing! I'm completely new to 3D rendering and I just need to know some basics to create a more professional looking rendering than I currently have with my hand-drawn sketches. This inspires me, thank you.
THANK! it was my first freedcad lesson
Fantastic video, thanks for this. It was perfect!
These types of videos do an excellent job of demonstrating that the presenter can use the software. Little attempt is ever made to show the viewer the thought process, the why, such that the viewer can see the logic and flow together. This, the viewer only sees a quick series of clicks that can barely, if at all, be followed, and never digest the rational behind the use of the software.
More often than not, the viewer will find the video as impairing as the software, and turn away with their negative impressions reinforced.
This is a great tutorial, I was worried that free cad would be a nightmare to learn but this has made the first few steps so easy!
Great video - Love learning by example!
Great tutorial! Thank You!!!!
this video is really useful to illustrate the basic operation and function of the drafting for a simple component. Help many new beginners understand the principle of FREECAD!!!!!!! That was concentrated the basic concepts for the beginners!
A very helpful first introduction, thank you very much!
Thanks. A good beginners tutorial using the minimum number of concepts. There are other constraints that make for a better design but that would best be for a follow on tutorial.
For example, the idea would be to place the upper left hole and then make the upper right horizontal constrained. Then place the lower right and make the upper right vertically constrained. Similar for lowe4r left. Then do it all over again but use a rectangle and use the symmetry constraints on opposite corners and the center then set horizontal and vertical sizes. These last ways are better but not for your first drawing.
Excellent!! keep going with great tutos like this one!
Awesome video! Thank you for inspiring me! 😊❤
Fantastic tutorial, really appreciate the help! Cheers
thanks man you have shown the essential steps in this video love you man from india
Brilliant. You are a great teacher. 🙏
Amazing work, acessible language, direct to the point :)
This was super helpful to get started thanks. I need to design some stuff to mount inside a pelican case for a cyberdeck (so original!) and this was a huge help to get started.
ive used inventor professionally, and fusion a bit. freecad was just on the other side of 'i'll do that another day' to bother with... so this was a great, and timely video to stumble across. well presented, and very useful
感谢你伙计 我正在入门 这是个非常好的demo !
this was perfect video, compared to others!! makes sense now Thank you!
