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!
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
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!
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!
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.
*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 TH-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. 👍👍
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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
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.
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!
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!
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
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!
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! 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!
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.
You know what's crazy? I've been working on a car design in Blender for quite some time and then came across FreeCAD which made it easier to design an engine. Then I came across this video.
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
2024 april 20. FYI1. 1:08:53 Version 0.21.2 Arc tool of FreeCad is not able to close the ring. "Sections must be all closed or all open". I stuck in this for several days. I learned a lot at that time but you better know "it is not your fault". At 1:24:40 V0.21.2 Ortographic view mouse hover does not every time show the chance to link an external geometry. 2:16:14 Hotkeys have changed. Distances are i, L and kd. Hotkeys can be lower case.
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!
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 !
Just found your channel and watched this video. Awesome job, very nicely done!! I've been watching someone else's tutorials and he does a great job, but I learned some new features watching you today, So thank you very much for do this video. I have subscribed and will be checking out more of your stuff. Have a great day!
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.
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
Excellent video - thanks for the effort you put into making it. At about 2:29:40, the icon is a sheep. Her name was Dolly, the first mammal cloned from a single cell. Cute, no?
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)
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.
This has been great so far... but I am stumped. At 1:08 when I add the final arc in, it does not seem to add a constraint coincident between the last end of the final arc and the start of the first arc. I've made sure I am absolutely lining them up and getting the constraint indicator. All of my other arcs lock together nicely. This leaves me with 5 DoF's instead of the 4 you get. I've tried manually connecting them and that also does not work. I am on v 0.21.01. Thanks! (PS> To get around it, I basically set constraints on those points individually)
That's tough when something like that happens. Sometimes the computational engine can get something mixed up and think the sketch is overconstrained when it's not. I've seen it in other platforms too. It might also help to take the two points you want to connect and give them a vertical and horizontal constraint in place of coincedent, I've seen that work too.
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).
Thanks for the tutorial. It was very helpful. :) BTW: For me the clone button (at 2:29:37) looks like a sheep. I think it refers to Dolly, the first ever cloned animal. Which was actually a sheep cloned in the year 1996.
02:25:35 That clone icon is Dolly the Sheep, the first cloned mammal! Dolly was a female Finnish Dorset sheep and the first mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell. She was cloned by associates of the Roslin Institute in Scotland, using the process of nuclear transfer from a cell taken from a mammary gland. Wikipedia Born: 5 July 1996, Scotland Died: 14 February 2003 Children: Rosie, Cotton, Darcy, Bonnie, Lucy, Sally Species: Ovis aries Known for: First mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell
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.👍👍👍👍👍
thankyou for your efforts in putting this video together I had one problem while working through input error: sections must be all closed or all open this was in sweeping examples 1:22 :22
That message usually means that two lines or sketch elements in the sketch are not intersecting. I suggest zoom way in on your profiles and look at ever intersection between the lines and you'll probably find that two points are not connected somewhere, or there could be an extra line hanging out somewhere. Try sweeping each sketch by itself and see if one won't sweep- that will be the problemed profile. If you can't find where the problem is, consider deleting the sketch and sketching it again. Hope that helps.
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
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

Thanks for a great tutorial 🙂So simple and easy to understand
great tutorial thanks for your patience this gave me a very good start.
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).
Thanks a lot for this long video. Many informations - just right for beginners like me.
Very good pacing, clear explanations and complete guide thank you a lot !
Thank you for your time doing this!! Really helpful!
wow what a fantastic tutorial. so clearly explained and presented. Thankyou so much. I must explore your other material/courses
Thanks for the tutorial. It was very helpful. :)
BTW: For me the clone button (at 2:29:37) looks like a sheep. I think it refers to Dolly, the first ever cloned animal. Which was actually a sheep cloned in the year 1996.
i had to take a break at 1:05:00 cause i was getting back to back errors and stuff just disappearing. I'm done with this tutorial until tomorrow...
02:25:35 That clone icon is Dolly the Sheep, the first cloned mammal!
Dolly was a female Finnish Dorset sheep and the first mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell. She was cloned by associates of the Roslin Institute in Scotland, using the process of nuclear transfer from a cell taken from a mammary gland. Wikipedia
Born: 5 July 1996, Scotland
Died: 14 February 2003
Children: Rosie, Cotton, Darcy, Bonnie, Lucy, Sally
Species: Ovis aries
Known for: First mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell
Thank you, EXTREMELY... EXTREMELY informational
Good videos. I am new to freecad and may be asking questions sometimes.

Excellent video and about the cloning animal face I hope you remember what first animal was Cloned (Sheep) in Ireland so I believe it is a sheep face.
Great job, thank you! Pretty sure the icon for "clone" is Dolly the Sheep, first successful mammal clone, created in 1996.
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.👍👍👍👍👍
Great video for this beginner that’s for sure, ThankYou
Yup, one of those videos, Thanks a lot! you won my internet today ;)
Thank you!
thankyou for your efforts in putting this video together I had one problem while working through input error: sections must be all closed or all open this was in sweeping examples 1:22 :22
That message usually means that two lines or sketch elements in the sketch are not intersecting. I suggest zoom way in on your profiles and look at ever intersection between the lines and you'll probably find that two points are not connected somewhere, or there could be an extra line hanging out somewhere. Try sweeping each sketch by itself and see if one won't sweep- that will be the problemed profile. If you can't find where the problem is, consider deleting the sketch and sketching it again. Hope that helps.
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 so much!!! I was about to give up unit this video much 👍 for you!!
You sir are a great teacher. Thank you!
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
incredible video! thanks you, this can be very usefull for everyone!
great stuff, thank you for taking the time to make this video
thank you so much , and that is what my needed, good day to you. thank freecad
Great job and a great help for me! Thank you.
By the Way: For me, the orange cyclop is the clone sheep Dolly ;-)
