FreeCad Tutorial. What Every Freecad user should know about Tree View.

This video describe the Model Tree View in the model tab. Tree View allows managing the objects in the model. It depicts a road map of the model and how it evolved. This also describe cumulative single solid principle.
Parts and Bodies are manipulated to create the final model. Each body can be activated and deactivated.
Standard part is used as container.
Also, it is important to understand the differences in part and part design workbenches and how they could be used to produce complex models. While part and part design workbenches can be used independently , there are occasions where they can be used jointly as well.

I watched a lot of videos about FreeCAD but this was exactly the basics I was lacking! Thanks a lot!

[@DiggerDaveSea]

Thank you for the very informative video. You explained clearly some of the challenges I was having learning FreeCAD.

[@denisw398]

Once one is familiar the basic drawing tools it is important to understand the tree structure to build more complex models - So thank you for this helpful video.

Thank you for your comment. Will be putting more videos ...

I printed my first part designed in FreeCAD 0.20 a few days ago. Bodies, pads, base features and sketches everywhere. I somehow Frankensteined it into working but will redo it so as to make changing parameters easier. Thank you so much for this.

Really liked the approach. Too many tutorials show successful steps. This one demonstrates steps that cause errors. Many of which I encountered, but didn't know what I was doing wrong.

[@jim_64s8-bitprojects5]

Thank you!! All previous explanations on this subject were too vague. This really helped!

[@cadzis673]

sure... Great to hear from you. Thankyou for your comment. will be posting more videos.

Freecad seems to be strict on the order, and the conditions that many operations require.
Videos like this help clarify the logic these expectations are based on.

[@livingron9983]

Very helpful. Thank you. It would have saved me a lot of frustration if I had seen earlier.

[@cadzis673]

Great to hear that... I will be putting more videos.

[@SolarEagles]

That really clears it all up for me. I had no idea how to organize a drawing before this video. Thank you.

[@cadzis673]

glad it helped. thankyou for your comment. I will be posting more videos...

[@stever3886]

I have looked for a video like this relative to the model tree. I have also looked on FreeCAD WIKI it was informative. In my early FC days, the order of operation was confusing to me. The words you mention “operations ending in a cumulative solid” is crucial to understanding the model tree.

[@cadzis673]

Yes... This concept is somewhat unique to Freecad.. Thanks for your comment.

[@fraaancooo]

Same here! When he said “operations ending in a cumulative solid”, my mind does not bug anymore 😁

[@mrokus7116]

This explanation helped me understand the tree better. I had drawn a reasonably complex item in Part Design workbench and then couldn't export it to an .stl because it was messed up. It looked correct, but it wasn't. Thank you for this explanation.

[@cadzis673]

Glad it helped!

[@konmino7240]

Very helpful video, thanks !

[@cadzis673]

good to hear. Thanks for the comment. I will be putting more videos

[@ob1613]

Thank you, I really appreciate the tutorial

[@cadzis673]

You're very welcome!

[@alextsitovich9800]

22:35 Thanks. Exactly my situation.

[@cadzis673]

Glad it helped, I will be posting more videos

[@CarloRoosen]

Tnx, great tutorial!

[@cadzis673]

Thankyou, I will be posting more videos.

Fantastic size and color Pointer. Very cool. As a video producer I have some tips for you.
Pity the icon bar icons are so small you can hardly see it! Make it size 24 OR even bigger.
Your screen white/blue color cause that your work is very hard to make it out.Try one color screen. Paper white with all constrains and dimensions in black rectify this problem in videos totally. Sizes if bigger help a lot in all videos.
Hope this is useful to you

[@cadzis673]

will be making the icon bar bigger next time..

[@Appregator]

How do you get that XYZ view on your screen. The XYZ in FreeCad is way too small for me to see.

[@wpegley]

Perhaps continue this train of thought into FEM & Assembly 4.
