For anyone in 2024 that is seeing this. The Auto Remove Redundants option for constraints can be found under Edit > Preferences > Sketcher > Genera,l it its the first option shown. Also, the grid can be turned on from the top right corner by clicking the grid like looking icon, hope this is useful!
@@JayAnAm Try out RealThunders version of FreeCAD. It's way better than 0.19! And guys support him on patreon (thunderreal)! He's the FreeCAD dev we're all looking for!
Technically it is "corporate greed", but I don't hold it against them to want to make money. The ARE a corporation, so profit is a thing by definition. To expect a corporation NOT to make money from their products is kinda stupid and folks should expect that out of the gate. What I hold against them is the way they did it. If the full free version was a mistake and they should have limited it more from the beginning so free users didn't "abuse" it, then I'm sorry, but any corporate manager should have known what was going to happen on that from the beginning. That is simple stupidity. To let it be free for so long that tons of people got used to it, then dramatically neuter usability, is either stupid or shady (I suspect some of both). I'm sure the original premise is that the free version whets the appetite so that users learn to use it, like it, depend on it, then want to buy it. The addiction method. Lacking a free version, nobody would know to want it. Makes sense to have one just to encourage exposure. But they could have, should have, and maybe DID know better than to include such functionality in the free version from the start. To change it midstream like this points to a lack of competency OR manipulative marketing. Take your pick - neither one is a good look. Even if you didn't use the features they removed, or even didn't use Fusion at all, if you've heard of the debacle, you now think less of Autodesk. Had they limited it from the start in a smart way, folks would love it almost as much and not have a reason to be pissed today. I never have liked any software being tied to a subscription and I never will. You can never say never I guess, but I don't ever expect to even explore a single piece of software that I can only rent. Either I own it from the time of purchase, or I'm not interested. So in my view, Autodesk has been on the wrong side of this issue from the time they started it. No thanks. Personally, I would rather use FreeCAD or whatever from the start, even IF it were half as good, just because I'm NEVER going to let myself rely on something that can change on a dime at the whim of some corporate board somewhere. Yeah, that just happened. Which leads me to conclude that those that are pissed off at Autodesk for what they've recently done, should instead look into the mirror to see the cause of their current grief. I can grok that lots of folks didn't understand this going in, but they should now. Let this just be a lesson as you move forward. Don't let yourself be placed in such a precarious stance from now on. The subscription paradigm alone should have been enough of a red flag if you were paying attention.
Im donating to the developers to help make it better and more powerful. I cant justify 500/yr on fusion at the hobby level. If they had a one time payment I would but until then, freecad.
This is an amazing tutorial, no waffling or superfluous information, gives you the basic information you need as succinctly as possible and assumes the viewer has used a computer before. I picked this one because it was 6 minutes, as opposed to the often 30 minute or longer tutorials elsewhere, and it was exactly what I'd hoped for :)
Started out with CAD in general and FreeCAD specifically; the tutorial is nice to follow and I created the object as described. The only thing missing was 'making the body active' in order to add the bevel/chamfer to a face. (Go to model and right-click the body and "toggle active body".
For years I've been trying to use something else than SketchUp and I've tried numerous Tutorials. Never get to understand HOW you have to approach designing in the software. Watched this video and it instantly became clear. Thank you!
This is fantastic, thank you so much. One suggestion to make future tutorials even better: Perhaps you could add some highlighter to your mouse cursor. I often found myself having to go back a few seconds to find out exactly what you clicked on. Having a highlighted cursor and ideally some additional highlight for clicks would make this absolutely perfect.
Took me a while to figure out he was double clicking to make the corner rounded, was getting frustrated trying: click, click and drag, adding shift and crtl,,,
Beat me too it! Just what I was going to ask since it'd be awesome to design certain components in a parametric CAD app and then move them into Blender, or Unity/Unreal, once you were finished tweaking it.
I could just about understand this, the previous "beginner" tutorial was incomprehensible. All _I_ want is to be able to plan how to cut up bits of wood and join them together.
Thank you for making the video which helps a lot. As a diehard AutoCad user, I must say FreeCAD is quite user unfriendly. Many operations left me scratching my head why it happened or how to correct errors. Even following exactly what the video had shown may not produce the same results. Many were done only by accident or trial and error.
The first freecad tutorial i have watched and i have to ask as the others have, can we have some more please. you explained it very well and made it easy to follow.
He didn't explain anything though... It's just "we can do this we can do this we can do this" but never a "why", seldomly a "how", or even a wtf a constraint even is.
CAD software always scared me and looked pretty complex but this small tutorial was enough to give me the confidence to start dinking around with it. The least I could do is leave a comment saying thanks
very helpful and very concise, being able to show how to make things in 5 minutes like seriously such good job so many tutorials are like half an hour and boring, this was quick simple and to the point very well done sir
Great tutorial. this is the 3rd I'm watching and it's the best. explains what, why and where, simple and without talking around other non related. Thank you!
Your teaching style is always very precise you have a knack into progressive teaching I will say that all you teach is awesome and for the learner an invaluable resource. Thank you very much for your time effort and dedication. Over the years I have learned quite a bit from various sources but you excel at making it easy.... The purpose of learning is to get results. And you provide me the tools and information I need.
Thank you for you're clear instructions on how to use Free Cad. Thanks to you're instructions I'm finally able to make my first drawing on a computer, and so setting me on my way to making my first 3D designs for my projects . Thank you, and pls continue making more tutorials on Free Cad
This tutorial is so compact and concise. By the way, this video is listed as the second one in the FreeCAD playlist. It would be great if it could be reordered to be the first one. And thank you very much for making such great tutorials.
I have been watching another FreeCAD Tutorial and it did not explain why only a very choppy how. Thank you so much for a very nice intro to the basics. I look forward to more videos from you covering more complex/compound shapes and transitions them to a slicer. Again thank you for this tutorial.
This isn't the first FreeCAD tutorial I have watched, but I wish it had been! I learned more here in 6 minutes than I thought possible. THANK YOU !!! If you have one on creating solids of revolution from a 2D sketch, I'm IN....
Thanks for this video, me too I prepared a list of videos on FreeCad, but this soft is completely different about Sketchup or Blender, we can say it's like Autocad
There is also a BIM Export possibility (.ifc). You have to download and install ifc.blender addon. This is very handy for e.g. architecture. Here are some links I found: github.com/brean/python-ifc-blender www.blendernation.com/2019/11/05/free-add-on-ifc-exporter-for-blender/ blenderbim.org/ It is a little bit confusing to me, because I am not sure if this is only one or if there are more addons. It is some time ago I used it. But it would be nice to see some Tutorials on this.
This might be a good tutorial for someone already familiar with FreeCAD. I've been using parametric CAD programs since the 1990s and recently found the need to design some items for 3D printing so I installed FreeCAD. The way you gloss over or don't mention at all the locations of the functions left me reviewing every click to see were you selected a function. I've worked in Fortune 100 IT for over 20 years so I'm not computer illiterate. The teaching could be better with some attention to detail. Moving on. . .
Thank you, I have been using AutoCad since 1989 and own a few copies of it however Their subscription service far exceeds what I want to do for hobby use now that I'm no longer in the industry. I figured most of what I know will transfer over however jumping into a new interface can sometimes be overwhelming. Got a feeling your videos will hold my hand for a while while I navigate through these commands. Appreciate your videos.
The video is in good quality, your voice is loud and clear, no technical mistakes. You provide some valid information about the program. This is a lot, but sadly, everything else is wrong. Consider it as advice. You are not telling the keys that you are pressing (and they are not shown on screen). You are not telling anything about the program itself - I have no clue where I am, I turned on some weird mode, one of dozens, I don't know what it's for or what for are others, and I don't even know if anyone will tell me this in the future. I personally think that video named "for begginers" shouldn't be 6 mins long. I know that some people would get disouraged with several hours long video, but it is paradoxically the fastest way to teach someone the basics, as it gives a solid background for future learning of new features. In the end, I'm sorry that I have to tell it (and i don't know if you were aware of what i said), the video presents no value to me, as It probably won't teach me anything usefull
At first, I felt the same way and was really quite frustrated... If you do what I did, you will find that it is actually quite useful! Watch the vid in full-screen mode so you can get a better view of what is being clicked on or selected. Also, change the speed to 0.75 (or less) and just look for all the progressions without trying to follow the commentary. initially, I kept going back over and over again, missing what he had done to reach where he was until I started watching this way. Now, I don't need to keep going back and I'm watching at normal speed. Another thing is that there appears to be more than one way to reach the same stage but he follows one such set of steps.
For new users this type of modeling is called "Parametric" modeling while 3dsMax, Maya, Cinema4D Blender, ect... use what's known as "Direct Modeling".
Thanks for a great tutoral. Your voice over is really impressive, just the right speed. It would be nice to know a bit more about your preferences as I had no grid. I am running 0.19.2 not sure if that makes a difference at all.
Nice tutorial but it goes SO FAST. I'm in high school and have never used CAD at all before and i had to rewatch so many times to figure out what buttons he's pushing 😭
Hye. This is very easy to understand and your voice is very clear. Thank you for your kind explaination. Can you teach me how you rotate your block using your cursor?Because i couldnt rotate it freely.
For anyone following along, I had to press Ctrl and left click on the left side of the box, then the top side of the box, then click the Filet tool. Sometimes it's not obvious how these are being entered.
@@JayAnAm The example is great but indeed I find myself rewinding over and over to catch the various tools you are selecting. Also for some reason (maybe different version?) my menus are not quite the same as what you have. So spending few more words on what tool you are picking would be VERY helpful. Example: when you closed the sketch, you went to Part Design automatically. For some reason, this did not happen to me and I had to select Part Design manually. A minor inconvenience, but it took me a good 5 minutes to figure out what was going on differently. If you had mentioned that now we should have been in Part Design mode, this would have been a useuful cue. Said this, still very good example to learn from, for someone like me who is coming from Blender.
I've tried several so called "basics for FreeCAD" and your's is better, but at 1:34 you lost me. I do not have all those tools showing on mine. I've used Fusion 360 for years and love it, but I'd like to have FreeCAD for a back up. Just can't seem to get this FreeCAD to work for me from the start up.
This seems to be a nice video/ A few people will have a problem. Some people have poor eye sight and can not follow the small fast moving pointer. Is it possible to make the pointer bigger. This will help us a lot. Thank You
I, like other viewers, thx. Well explained. I just dw loaded, and will be coming back to your channel to watch and learn as I get deeper into Free Cad, again thx.
I'm finally getting back into freecad. I'm not a fan of fusion. I'm optimistic I can use freecad for the things I do. Thankyou for this series, it's helpful to get people past the initial wtf. And you're promoting an open source project.
For anyone in 2024 that is seeing this. The Auto Remove Redundants option for constraints can be found under Edit > Preferences > Sketcher > Genera,l it its the first option shown. Also, the grid can be turned on from the top right corner by clicking the grid like looking icon, hope this is useful!
Cheers, I was following along and was about to start searching google for that!
you just saved my monitor from keyboard🤣
Thank you so much!
As an example, the hint above... Edit has no "preferences" tab on my version.0.21.2-33771 mac
Thank you! I was wondering what that redundant thing meant until I ran into it 😆
I hope FreeCAD gets more love after Autodesk revealed it's corporate greedface once again.
I hope so... next tutorial comes this week.
@@JayAnAm Try out RealThunders version of FreeCAD. It's way better than 0.19! And guys support him on patreon (thunderreal)! He's the FreeCAD dev we're all looking for!

me 2 ; i'll donate a few $$; this is good. $500/y for Fusion is not for the hobbyist :(
Yes 360 refugee as well. This was a great tutorial.

Glad you liked it! Thx!
An unusually clear tutorial. Thank you.
Haha, glad you think so!
per other commenters, you may benefit from a Mouse Halo and loitering over the button for a few seconds so it's easier to follow in realtime.
Ok, thx for the info
@@JayAnAm The example is great but indeed I find myself rewinding over and over to catch the various tools you are selecting. Also for some reason (maybe different version?) my menus are not quite the same as what you have. So spending few more words on what tool you are picking would be VERY helpful. Example: when you closed the sketch, you went to Part Design automatically. For some reason, this did not happen to me and I had to select Part Design manually. A minor inconvenience, but it took me a good 5 minutes to figure out what was going on differently. If you had mentioned that now we should have been in Part Design mode, this would have been a useuful cue. Said this, still very good example to learn from, for someone like me who is coming from Blender.
Second viewing for me. Followed through your tutorial, drew the same object, and with a new mouse it works so nicely. Thank you for a great lesson!
Great introduction, thanks
I've tried several so called "basics for FreeCAD" and your's is better, but at 1:34 you lost me. I do not have all those tools showing on mine. I've used Fusion 360 for years and love it, but I'd like to have FreeCAD for a back up. Just can't seem to get this FreeCAD to work for me from the start up.
Thank you for the tutorial. I am thinking of using Freecad and your demonstration was an excellent introduction.
This seems to be a nice video/
A few people will have a problem. Some people have poor eye sight and can not follow the small fast moving pointer. Is it possible to make the pointer bigger. This will help us a lot.
Thank You
I thought about going to the doctor for my insomnia, but I found a far better solution.
Great
Fantastic introduction. Well done!
Thank you!
Thanks for the clear explanation. Would like to learn more about other tools in Free CAD.
My first design with freecad. 💪
I, like other viewers, thx. Well explained. I just dw loaded, and will be coming back to your channel to watch and learn as I get deeper into Free Cad, again thx.
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you so much, your teaching method is easy to follow, looking forward for more tutorials!
More on Freecad please
Yep, next video is already online
I'm finally getting back into freecad.
I'm not a fan of fusion.
I'm optimistic I can use freecad for the things I do. Thankyou for this series, it's helpful to get people past the initial wtf. And you're promoting an open source project.
I like Fusion360, but not the price given how much I use it.
Great video mate, cant wait for the next one.
OUTSTANDING!!!
Good tutorial. Please use LARGE mouse arrow pointer. Thank you.
