Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 сер 2024
- How to use FreeCAD Curves WB tool the freehand bspline. We will learn about the different modes, properties and manipulating the b-spline in Free CAD. We will explore.
- How to create a curve.
- How to add control points.
- How to delete a control point that has been inserted.
- What are segment lines and how to use them.
- Aligning parts of the curve with the view (tangent)
- Aligning parts of the curve with the segment line (Linear interpolation)
- Aligning segments in line.
- Snapping the control points to vertex, edge and face.
- Preselecting geometry to snap the control points to.
- Creating support objects.
- Using the properties.

Looks like mastering BSpline will need more than quick guide. Always wondered how those 3D curves work in FreeCAD. Thanks for the vid.
BSplines can definitely be a bit tricky to master! I'm glad the video helped shed some light on how 3D curves work in FreeCAD. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Again Darren, I was a bit lost using this tool but this video has explained many of its functions.
Glad it was helpful :) Yep, bit of a tricky one with all those options.
Wow! This tool is so powerful. Thanks for this guide!
Fantastic video. The snap to face is a great, hidden feature. Thanks!!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found the snap-to-face feature useful. It really is a handy tool! Thanks for watching!
Great video! Can't wait for FreeCAD 1.0 and all the tutorials that will follow from you.
Very detailed tutorial!
This is a vital bit of knowledge needed for being able to run wiring for my RC Tugboat project. I have a motor, motor ESC controller, servo, and a battery. These components are all on either the XY or YZ planes and all are on the different "Z" elevations. For example when running the wire(x3) from the motor it comes up and out from the motor and then a short RH 90° turn to a short run then a LH 90° towards the stern and the ESC controller... My point is I simple cure was to create various 3 wire horizontal and vertical 90's then transform tool to align with the various straight sections.
Then select and union the sections. I always knew someday I will get good enough to run the various wire path more from a isometric view and curves is the WB (more efficient).
I also then need to get good at aligning the profile to the end (vertex) of the path. I feel by selecting the profile then right click to "attachment editor" and under "selecting" choose the vertex where the sweep is to start, I think is where is where I need to go next😊? Together with what I added to my toolbox from this video should accomplish my desired results. Sidenote: For the 3 wires together I did create 3 circles of desired "X" dia and overlap the wires a little so that when trimmed gave me my 3 wire look from 1 profile, (you prolly showed me this) so that when different colors are required FreeCAD will let you even though it is 1 profile...
Please advise any changes to my routine that is wrong or there is a better way!
Thanks

I can see this being used as a path to create things like vehicle break lines.
Good idea. I had a patreon contact me about how he would create wires in electrical devices and we used this along with a sweep. Grouped it with a split curve so we could change the thickness of the sweep to simulate the copper ends and insolation. There will be a video out about that soon as well.
@@MangoJellySolutions Breaklines, transmission cooling lines, radiator cooling hoses or lol crazy straws.
This video is nearly perfect.
But with some feature, displaying into a corner of the screen what is the key, and-or mouse button you are pressing on, that would then be really perfect.
Magic.. Thanks, Darren
Thank you for the continuous support Vlad. Glad your enjoying :)
Ok, got a chance to play with this a bit and I have to say that this made making curves easier. Thank you
I'm glad you had a chance to try it out and that it made creating curves easier for you. You're welcome!
Hi Darren, thanks for this tutorial revealing the mysteries of the curves. This way we can draw/modeling more organic shapes. Thank you very much indeed. Greetings from Portugal
Glad it was helpful. One of my patreons use it a lot to create canopies for model aircrafts so it's really useful. Hope it's not to hot over there in Portugal. Such a beautiful country.
@@MangoJellySolutions This summer it's very irregular luckily. Not so high temperatures means less risk of wild bush fires. Thanks for your comment about the country. Such a small country and so many different landscapes makes it a peculiar one and attracts lots of visitors, 20% of our GDP is from tourism. Regards
Ding dang helpful!
