This reminds me of the days long ago when 0.16 was the stable release. I downloaded the 0.17 development version. Through the course of many updates, items in the GUI kept moving around so this is no surprise. When 0.19 becomes the stable version, I might have to do a 2021 update of this video. Thanks for the heads up though. I’m sure many users of 0.19 will find this useful.
@@bcastlar3453 I am using 0.19 and can not find the validate tool in the sketch bench even thought I was told to look for it. Of course their may be an icon but again I do not know for what I am looking.
Thank you for this! I had a sketch with a lot of arcs, and I was really desperate wondering why everyone was making extrusion so easy and I couldn't. Thanks again!! God bless you!
As a “Freecadist” that has watched many hundreds of tutorials my opinion is this is a very fine tutorial both in its content and the way you presented the information. I found it easy to follow because you presented the information slowly and simply - something that many tutorials, despite the presenters obvious expertise, fail to do. I have subscribed to your channel in the hope that you will post more “troubleshooting” tutorials. Thank You.
Thank you, your description of my content exactly describes my intent. Far too many You Tubers race through complex information leaving the viewer wondering just exactly what was said. If you check my channel home page, you’ll find my focus is toward automating repetitive tasks using the power of parametric programming. If you work a lot with FreeCAD, you’ll find much of this useful. Many thanks for subscribing, that means a great deal since I need 1000 subscribers before I’m eligible to be monetized. Again thanks.
This was super helpful and led me down a trouble shooting path that showed that my sketch had either very tiny duplicate geometry or "0" length segments. The solver was putting in duplicate vertexes that was invalidating my sketch....
Perfect! Helping people is what my channel is all about. Do check out the comments below this video. There are a number of helpful tips that are of use when the repair tool doesn’t solve all of your problems. If you’re interested in parametric programming, I just completed the first in a series on the subject. The example for this one is the construction of a project box the size of which you instantly choose. FreeCAD then constructs the box for you. Anyway, do check it out.
Thanks so much for your kind words. I especially appreciate that you subscribed! That means a great deal to me. TH-cam requires that a channel get 1000 subscribers before it can march down the path toward add funding. I still have quite a way to go, but this helps. If you’re at all interested in FreeCAD parametric programming I started a new video series titled, “Crazy Simple 3D Printed Enclosure with FreeCAD 0.18 Parametric Design”. Part #1 is out now, while part #2 will be out later this coming week. Again, thanks so much for your support.
Nice voice-over and pacing (slow and steady and concise with video under 10 minute total). It may be helpful to do a quick chyron in post with the version of FreeCAD being described, also something in the TH-cam description (0.18 ?) to help with searches.
Eric: Thank you for your comment. Due to other commitments, it’s been a while since I’ve checked this video for new comments. I appreciate your noticing the pacing of my descriptions. Although I’ve never given anyone a thumbs down, pacing has been one of my greatest criticisms of other how to videos. Regarding the FreeCAD version number you’re rite, I should have made the version number more obvious. Even I suffer from the disease of familiarity. While the video is rolling, the version number does appear in the upper left hand corner, but you have to be a FreeCAD veteran to notice that. If you go to my channel page, you’ll notice that I did a parametric cad tutorial on 3D printed gears disguised as a paper shredder repair. I’m currently finalizing another FreeCAD parametric tutorial which should be out in a matter of a few days. If that interests you, please subscribe to my channel. Lastly, your Chyron comment reminded me that I have on old obsolete Chyron keyboard lurking in my basement. I wonder what I could make out of that - hmmmm?
Thanks for the subscribe, I really appreciate that. It’s really gratifying that I helped so many people. Do check out my other tutorials, so far, they’re all related to FreeCAD.
Hello, I do appreciate the video, I am a complete beginner. Following the instructions all tests result OK, but the popup still comes up. Very frustrating.
I just now noticed that you also subscribed. Thank you so much! If you’ve checked out the other comments, you probably know that I’m currently running series FreeCAD parametric programming. If not, do check it out. It’s time we automate our lives instead of repeating the same thing over and over again.
You’re welcome! I’m glad it helps. Incidentally, if you haven’t already, please subscribe. Part 2 of my series on parametric FreeCAD programming will be out very early this week. This is going to take the repetitive drudge work of remodeling the same thing over and over out of many peoples lives.
First off, thank you so much for subscribing. If the back end of my channel tells me who it is, I make a point of thanking them. If you’re at all interested in parametric programming, I just finished my first in a series on the subject. You can go to my channel, and click on the play list to find it. Anyway, thanks.
One thing came to mind recently. While it’s possible to extrude multiple closed loops on the same sketch, it won’t extrude if the loops are connected. Also look for loops contained within another loop. That requires two separate sketches to realize that. I learned a lot of hard lessons while doing my series on parametric cad. You’ll find a link to that series at the end of the video your watching. Failing that, just convert all sketch elements to construction. Then slowly add just a few elements to the non construction state making sure you add a temporary line to your drawing to close the loop. Repeat until you find the problem.
@@bcastlar3453 wait. I think you just described my problem. Maybe. Thing is, I have 3 circles, all centered and the smaller ones inside of the biggest. 1 circle only creates a cylinder, 2 create a tube and 3 create a broken face. So I guess I have to make the tube and then substract from there
Yes! To create a tube, you need to delete the inner circle then extrude. Atop the tube extrusion, you then create another sketch. On that sketch, you create the circle you deleted. Then you use the notch tool to punch a hole in the extruded cylinder. Pay attention to the notch depth. If you select the, “Through all option”, if there is anything below your cylinder, the notch will punch a hole through it as well. Hope this helps. BTW, on my parametric cad series, I’ll take you through a guided tour through many instances of just what you’re experiencing.
It’s difficult to tell, I presume you tried all of the tests available in the sketch validate tool. Short of going brute force. I’d pay particular attention to anything that contains an arc. With that I mean, circle, ellipse, as well as a simple arc. These are objects that are the most prone to giving a sketch problems. Failing that, it’s time to do the brute force method I outlined in the video. I’m sure you’ll turn up something.
Wow, that’s a new one! The only time I encountered that, as in the button was grayed out, was when there were no problems with the sketch. I hope you’re using release 0.18. I do remember in the early days of the 0.19 development cycle, there was some experimentation with moving validate to a new location. Happily, in the stable release, it’s in the same place its always been. It looks like I’m finally moving to FREECad 0.19.2. It took me quite a while to get it working properly. I suspect I’m not alone as many others are still using release 0.18. Look for more videos relative to that release soon.

You’re quite welcome. BTW, if you’re into building projects, I’ve started a series on FreeCAD parametric programming. At the end you’ll end up with a FreeCAD file that prints a project enclosure of your desired size and shape. You just start the file and plug in four dimensions. After that you can either 3D print it or use the path workbench to generate CNC code to machine it. I think I added a link to the very end of the video you just viewed, or you can go to my channel page and find it there. Anyway, I’m glad this video helped.
That’s really too bad. The only thing I can recommend is the brute force method which I also outlined in the video. Also check to see if you have two enclosed loops which are touching. Good luck.
Thanks, glad I could help. BTW, checkout the comments below this video. There are many helpful ideas just in case the repair tool did not completely fix the problem.
Thank you. Sorry for the late reply. I've been busy with holiday preparation, and haven't had time to produce more videos. BTW I've just released my latest video regarding version 0.19. I hope you'll find this video helpful.

For anyone using version 0.19 this tool is no longer in the Part Design tab. It is now in the Sketch tab. (to the left)
Thanks, I was looking for it.

One step closer to learn how to sketch and "Pad" in freecad!!!

I’m so glad it helped. It also seems to work just as well in release 0.19 which I have migrated to. Enjoy!
