Awesome. One of the best tutorials I've seen for any CAD software. I only had one issue constraining the second "circle" in the assembly as demonstrated. Was able to solve it another way. I textured it in Blender afterward, and it looks awesome. Thanks for the high quality content.
@sethg7897 Thank you. I also rely on Blender for the visualization of my work. The combined use of FreeCAD and Blender offers a remarkably efficient workflow for our fields.
This barely uses the assembly workbench as a snap tool, and uses magical numbers and redone work all over. The naming scheme is bad for adjustments and sometimes skipped entirely ("the Sketch003"). Rather missing the point of parametric CAD. Just consider how much work this model requires if you want to make the bench 15cm shorter.
My primary goal wasn't to create a fully parametric pergola. Instead, I modeled it in a way that mirrored the actual construction process, taking into account the specific dimensions (thickness, length, and width) of the available lumber. Excluding the central circle would significantly simplify a parametric approach. To shorten the bench, simply adjust the value in the initial master sketch and potentially modify the number of planks in the path array for significant reductions. However, altering the height or width would be more complex due to the fixed values associated with the circle and deck array.
Enfin un vrai tutoriel sur ce module Assembly. C'est clair et logique et compréhensible. Bravo, je me suis abonné et j'attends la suite :p

Would love to see a tutorial on how you do the intro animations with textures. I'm guessing you do those in Blender?
Interesting and really clear. Thanks !
Your welcome !
Great demo of freecad, that actually shows how to do something.
Instead of just creating one part.
Fantastic! 👍
Thank you :)
