Clear instructions. I will try doing this myself 😀

[@Adventuresincreation]

Excellent!

[@j6077xxd]

Wonderful cheers!

[@Adventuresincreation]

Thanks!

[@benscottbongiben]

Nice explanation thanks

[@Adventuresincreation]

Thanks! I appreciate your feedback.

[@k1u0]

What is the purpose of creating the body inside of a part? I read one other person saying they do this too.

[@Adventuresincreation]

You can create several bodies inside a part. You can create several parts inside a file. You can assemble parts.

Newly subscribed and a newb to this world. I started at your "Freecad for Beginners" at #1 and am progressing. I started making a "Bloomin' Onion" mold. It is basically just a 4" diameter cylinder with a 1/2" base, enclosed bottom and numerous vertical slots equally spaced around the perimeter. I got the cylinder formed and one slot cut(using Boolean) but am now stumped. I have tried Datum plane but don't have enough experience to properly execute. Could you do a video explaining or possibly get me going in the right direction? Thanks for the excellent series.

[@Adventuresincreation]

Absolutely, can you show me a sketch of what you want. I will create a video to produce it.

[@skutahuniai4830]

Thank you. Just traveling for a couple days. How do I get a sketch to you?

[@Adventuresincreation]

@@skutahuniai4830 you can post it somewhere that I can download it. That's the easiest way.

[@skutahuniai4830]

@@Adventuresincreation If I drew a sketch and posted it to Flikr, could you get it there?

[@skutahuniai4830]

@@Adventuresincreation I joined your Patreon and left you a message.

That modes has some nasty edges in the middle.. I would probably go with a third curve between the 2 curves to smooth the hard edge. This certainly wouldn't print well..
Happy new year to you...

[@Adventuresincreation]

I agree Paul, definitely would smooth that out if I was going to print it. Was just trying to get the concept over in a simple way.

[@terryclair2914]

Free CAD is weird...

[@Adventuresincreation]

It's definitely a unique beast.
