Great tutorial. Just wanted to add this. At 1:33 to drag the labels of your ring, press ESC first. Then you can select them. And at 1:48 you rotate. Since I'm a beginner I had to Google how to. You can either click your middle mouse button first, hold it, and then click your left mouse button to rotate. Or if the click function of your middle mouse button is broken like mine, use hold shift and then click right mouse button. Thanks for the tutorial. 😃
I had to select "Fuse" in the array dialog for this to work on Freecad 0.21.2. Perhaps, because instead of on e cylinder I ws trying to cut with a fusion of three cylinders.
I can't get this to work in the latest version 1.0.0? It just keeps referring to everything as 'illegal' and the Boolean either deletes one object or the other, never performs a cut.
@@JayAnAm Looking forward to new/updated tutorials, as for now, I'm becoming rather suspicious of things like "virtualization" and other nuances turned on in the BIOS. I know FreeCAD works, people all over the internet are using it. I have nearly a decade of 3D CAD experience, so I'm not new 'per se', just to FreeCAD and yes it's 'different' but specifically, certain things, seemingly just for me, either don't work or work just fine yet I still get error messages saying it didn't (which is equally confusing). I'm sure 6 months from now I'll either have figured it all out or taught one of my computers to fly.
Need help at 3:26 I couldnt understand what he said. He says 3 parts but only selects 2? Also I dont have that cut tool anywhere. Is it only on the pro version or am I missing something?
Thank you for the video and subscribed. Can you create a tutorial as how to go about designing a hollow cylindrical Stevenson screen enclosure (with vertically stacked circular louvers) for a DIY weather station.
I tried to make a cut on two shapes constructed with part-design workbench, but I failed. Is it mandatory (in order to work as intended) to use the part workbench? Other than that - hell of a video!
This works if you use a simple primitive like a cylinder, but if you try a more complex shape (sketched and padded) I can not get it to work. Freecad can be very frustrating....
For anyone that can't find the "auto constraints" setting, there is now a drop down menu next to where it says "filter" within the constraints box on the left.
how to make two holes of different sizes? I first tried using one size and I was successful. Once "ring" and "polar array" are converted into "cut", how do I use "ring" again with another "polar array" of different size cylinder. In my project I need to make two holes of different sizes in a box, So I am using "array" instead of "polar array".
he just explained it in this video. Watch the video again where he cuts the cylinder out of the ring. Select both parts and click the "Cut" tool button.
I am 2 hours into a five minute tutorial. I have four rings and I can't get rid of the other three without removing the last one. I just want to pull out all my hair. My computer does things that are unexplainable; it is as though it has its own mind and is working against me. I should just start over again but that would mean that I failed and I'm not ready to admit that yet.
I have a lot of problems becose i have using autodesk inventor for a long long time. Now autodesk inventor is too expensive and for my hoby pojects i must learn new softwares and Free CAD is my first choice and i not reget it. So powerfull free software and so great. Just need some time to learn it ...
Seems simple as that but CADing is beginner unfriendly as fu*k. Tried a imported STL file (converted it into a body) to get cut out by an cylinder. No chance. "Fatal error" Thanks for this helpful error message. Other programms like Blender, autodesk are even worse.
Good tutorial. I now know that I would have been completely lost if trying to tinker on my own -- there are too many esoteric elements to make intuitive sense to a lay person. That said. What is this madness! There has got to be a better way. I am repressing judgement until I become more knowledgeable, but my "WHY?!" reflex is being seriously triggered.

Great explanation. Easy to follow, not steps missing. Thank you very much.
Can’t wait for more freecad tutorials. Your videos are very clear, concise and at a pace that newbies like myself can follow
Simple & straight forward thank you !
Will watch few times to get into my head
Your presentation was clear and I would have never figured this out. THANKS.
I love this tutorial! Makes all the difference in making FreeCAD work for me.
Wonderful I appreciate your tutorials of freecad! Great contribution!
Thx, great you like it.
Thanks!
Excellent, lucid explanation of principles. Thank you!
Thx a lot, great you like it

thank you
I learned how to use freecad with two of your tutorial videos. They are very explanatory and I was able to understand it properly.
As a long time Blender user, I am drooling right now...
Very well presented and easy to understand. Paced just right for this CAD Newbie. Thank you
Thank you so much, this was exactly what I needed.
Keep making tutorials and this channel is gonna go from 0 - 1M subs fast! THANKS, Will be applying what I have learned here today!
Great tutorial, really easy to follow! - Thanks Boss!
good pacae of instructions. i was able to create this object. thank you .
Very nice tutorial. Thanks bro 👍👍👍
Awesome video, easy to understand. Thanks
Excellent tut/demo.
Thank You. I love it :)
These tutorials are great, thank you
Love your videos; best I've found on the topic
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Great one
Very good. thanks for this.
I don't have the auto constrain options. How do i get them?
Thank you

Ok, thx for the info, I guess I have to make a new one for 1.0.0

I am having exactly the same problem and have not yet figured out how to solve it

Dzięki Pozdrawiam
how to set those options on the left?
Nice tutorial man 👍 can i know your experience with freecad ?
Thank you, not as much as with Blender but a few years with some pauses:-)
Could anyone clarify what he is saying around 3:46 ? Control and what?
Ctrl Z
For anyone that can't find the "auto constraints" setting, there is now a drop down menu next to where it says "filter" within the constraints box on the left.
Hi, how do i get the 'model' tab @ 2:00? I can not find it. Thanks, Greg
Great tutorial. In your opinion is freecad similar to inventor?
I dont know inventor :-)
@@JayAnAm ah, OK. Well inventor is an expensive 3d autodesk program (same company that makes autocad)
how to make two holes of different sizes? I first tried using one size and I was successful.

In my project I need to make two holes of different sizes in a box, So I am using "array" instead of "polar array".
Can you not constrain each end of the cylinder to the inside and outside of the ring?
Thank you for all the great tutorials!
How would you subtract one part from another part? I'd like to make a sort of puzzle piece
he just explained it in this video. Watch the video again where he cuts the cylinder out of the ring. Select both parts and click the "Cut" tool button.
Can you do a tutorial of the basic attached tutorial on freecad wiki. I really don't seem to understand it.
He makes it look easy, excellent tutorial
how to thread these holes?
my array button doesn't have a drop down for polar
Was the same for me, I had to go to the array properties and select array type "polar" manually
Why cant i extrude on other planes? I tried but nothing happens.
I am at the very end of this tutorial and it will not let me filet the part "selection is not in active body"

More tutorial for free cad sir
will do
how can i upgrade FreeCAD without reinstalling?
you can't :-/ but you can keep your config files ;-)

Except - it does not work in 0.20.
