The Curves Workbench seems incredibly powerful but compared to the Part Design, Part, and Surface benches it's significantly more complicated. These videos are helping me tremendously.
Really complete course, sometimes I wonder if is necessary learn some complicated tools when you made good pieces with easiest ways before. I think that some tool are for engineers because the need calculate absolutely all parts but designer need more visual ways.
@@MangoJellySolutions I have just supported you in Kofi, is not too much but for my country's currency it is 😅. I Just want to tell you that you have the best surfacing videos in TH-cam, I am currently doing a CFD analysis over a Formula type car and I struggled a lot using extrude, for my second iteration I will use surfacing instead. Best FreeCAD Surface TH-camr Thanks a lot!
@@lq_12 I just saw my KoFi ping me. Thank you so much for your support and kind donation it is so much appreciated. It's great to hear the project your tackling and sounds really interest. Please share some screen shots. Again thank you so much :)
Thanks for the comments glad you like the video, you have made me think I should really move to a mouse rather than use my touch pad on my laptop as the majority of viewers are probably using a mouse. I just realised I have never said anything about the mouse wheel. It's something that I never thought about mentioning, thank you.
If you create 2 separate sketches it works ok but if you offset one of the edges, (say 10mm in the Z direction), the curve does not attach to the edge.
Hello. Is here any way to control the continuity of the created loft in 'along' direction (meaning across the ridges) ? Do we know - as it is - what continuity is there right now? (this is strictly rhetorical curiosity question - but the practical application should be obvious)
Hi, I want to create a blend between 2 curves. Then I want to join the 2 curves+the blend curve and use that joincurve for as the base for a Path Array in the curved shapes WB. But when I try to join curve the 2 curves and the blend curve, the operation fails. please help!
Part 3D offset won't work on a single curve but you can do a part 2D offset on one and tick the fill option which will create a planar face which can be used, say to extrude, loft or sweep through. Or you can create a number of blend curves, loft through those and then do a 3D offset
If I have two lines on different planes (XY and ZY for example) The curve does not meet one or even both ends. Moreover, trying it with two different parts the same happens and the curve does not connect
16:34 When I click "Join Curves" is throws an error in the Report View that reads " type must be 'Shape', not list" and doesn't create the curve. Am I the only one having this issue?

Love how you make very interesting models from things I hardly use. Genius!

Totally sic bro ! I so needed this class ! Im going to go curve crazy when I get home tonight and light up my comp )
This workbench is going to be as important as a part design workbench.. Many thanks
Sir, thank you very much. I really think you are the best FreeCAD tuber out there
Thank you so much for such a nice comment.

@@MangoJellySolutions yes sure, I can email them to you
Great, like always. Just one thing. You can increase or decrease de values in the boxes rolling the wheel mouse, not only with the arrow keys. Thanks.

@@MangoJellySolutions A new world of possibilities is waiting for you once you get a mouse. Just joking. Thanks for your amazing work.
Thanks for the video very helpful. How do you make it solid? trying to use this method to make grips.
Thank you, I think I have a video for exactly what you want that you could adapt to your liking th-cam.com/video/vn3vjCO8WaI/w-d-xo.html

Very interesting !
From there I see a bunch of possibility 8-)

Yep Useful!
is it possible to make 3d offset from Blend Curve ?
Part 3D offset won't work on a single curve but you can do a part 2D offset on one and tick the fill option which will create a planar face which can be used, say to extrude, loft or sweep through. Or you can create a number of blend curves, loft through those and then do a 3D offset

It seems to work a lot better if the lines come from an extrusion. If not the curves are really weird...or it seems so to me

You need to upgrade your curves workbench as there is a new version. I contacted the programmer about this issue and they fixed it petty quickly
Thank you so much!
