Additive and subtractive pipes in FreeCAD? No (topological) problem!

[@NelsonCastillo]

Thanks. I've had issues trying to make parametric models so this is a good guide to get in the right path.

This explains why I was having issues with pipes, very helpful, thanks...

[@FilterYT]

Cool, thanks again!

Hi, how did you center the rectangle at this moment? How did you get a center point from the two construction lines?

[@CharlesCo918]

Thank you for this video. @1:15, did you hit a shortcut on your keyboard, not exactly sure what command you used there.

[@EricNelson012]

I'd love to know too! I couldn't figure out what he did, but I used "Split Edge (G , Z)" to find the center

Also, see the "Centered Rectangle" tool as @LFANS2001 commented 😆

Great video. One thing escapes me: 2.6" you created a DatumPlane and few seconds later deleted it. What was it? I'm newbie, so pls. excuse my ignorance 🙂

I think I was going to draw the second cross section but then realised I didn't need it just yet, because I wanted to drive the planes' spacing through the path sketch instead!

[@LFANS2001]

You've got a "Centered Rectangle" tool, there's no need to draw construction lines.
