After the union, I don't see the hard edges where the bodies meet like you showed at 3:18. I had checked that the Fusion was completed in the tree view. Also, I had tried to combine 2 bodies with the hope of shelling (using "make a thick solid" command) the combined body thereafter. However, I go an error message that says it can only be done on an active body.
I use this kind of modelling often, usually later in the design process. However, I have become cautious since it is easy to run into Freecad bugs while doing this. Over time I have learned to avoid a lot of them but the danger is always there.
So Constructive Solid Geometry flow is Part Workbench and boolean operations on 3d shapes; while the Part Design workbench flow with sketches, pad, and pocket is a "Feature" based flow? Thank you for the video and the distinction; this makes the whole learning curve of CAD thing easier :D
Well thats not what i understand CSG is. As i understand it, CSG are primitive shapes , Cube, Sphere, Conic, Cyclinder, Torus of known and changable parameters etc ( sometimes known as 'analytical geometry' ) and may or may not be NURB based surfaces - usually there extremely low data dense and can not be used for highly sculptured surfaces. If anyone else can fill in or modify my description, please do as i may not have it perfectly - thanks.
Short, sweet, to the point. Good job, thanks!

Great video. thank you for the lessons.
Cool, more tools to play with! Thanks!

Very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks! Very helpful.
Thanks very helpful
Thanks, good job.
How are you moving the objects with the arrow triad? If I double click a part it opens the two little windows to enter the numbers manually.
You can right click on the object in the tree and select transform
İ love it
now make a sketch of this please!
