Fantastic !!! just at the level i can understand, will have to watch/try a few times before going to your next video. Keep it up, your teaching skills are legendary mate !
Just stumbled on this video. Great explanations, very well done.How would you go about using a 3D model of let's say a shark and turning that into a parametric wall art?
Thanks for good video. I am interested to know if you can also do the opposite of "fill" between the 2 surfaces( to get solid in the part WB).....i.e. can you erase the fill/ solid "material" between the surfaces to obtain only set of surfaces not only in solids made by the surfacing as demonstrated here(operation with offset). In other words to break up any solid (which was made by the extrusion or rotation or any other way) into surfaces??? Thank you for the answer.
Useful, thanks. In a real world model, where you might have different areas or sections modelled as discrete surfaces, how do you manage the transitions from one surface to another? I was trying to use these to model a replacement handle for my coffee maker, spent a whole weekend crashing freecad.
Thanks for the comment. Do you have an image of the model of your coffee maker? It sounds like you need to use the blend tool which makes a blend between two surfaces with reference to its edge. But if you have an image even if its just a link to a shop that sells the same or similar model I can get a better idea of what you are trying to achieve. I found the pipe shell very powerful at making handles as well.
5:12 I notice a specific order (essentially clockwise when doing the end ribs). Is this a specific technique required, it seems there are many instances where the order of selection of items is important?
Sorry for the late reply, I missed your comment. I found the best way is to place your last rail close to the beginning rail as you close your loop and then bridge the gap with a ruled surface. But, at this point if your making a tube then is the Gordon surface the right surface to use? Depending on your application maybe a pipeshell or multi loft would be better?
Great tutorial. Unfortunately Gordon function doesn't work in freeCAD 0.20.1 on osx. I tried to repeat this tutorial several times. "File "/Users/rafalj/Library/Application Support/FreeCAD/Mod/Curves/./freecad/Curves/gordon.py", line 504, in make_curves_compatible progressbar = FreeCAD.Base.ProgressIndicator() : cannot create 'N4Base19ProgressIndicatorPyE' instances"

Thank you for your kind words, great to get feedback on my freecad videos like this. Glad you enjoying them. 👍
Very intuitive. Thank you for covering everything. 🍻🍻
Jak zwykle profesjonalne.
Dziękuję Ci :)
Once again perfect tutorial
Thank you 😊
Thank you! Very good explanation!

Good video, very helpful!!
This is pretty cool! Subscribed!
Thank you 👍
Hi,
can you simple answer one question: is it possible to create closed surfaces, like a tune, with one Gordon surface?
Thanks for your help...

Very nice!
What I looked for
Great tutorial. Unfortunately Gordon function doesn't work in freeCAD 0.20.1 on osx. I tried to repeat this tutorial several times. "File "/Users/rafalj/Library/Application Support/FreeCAD/Mod/Curves/./freecad/Curves/gordon.py", line 504, in make_curves_compatible
progressbar = FreeCAD.Base.ProgressIndicator()
: cannot create 'N4Base19ProgressIndicatorPyE' instances"
This has been fixed in later versions of the Workbech.
