FreeCAD Beginner Tutorial #1

hey thanks man, this really helped me with 3d printing thanks i wont forget you you made my daghuter happy thanks agin ;D

Very helpful tutorial! Thanks

Thanks for posting this video.

tbh I can live with the 0.01 tolerance. But very nice to include an alternative method instead of a fillet

first time trying out a CAD program , thanks for the tutorial :)

Learning a lot!!! Thank you!!

Excellent tutorial - clear, concise step by step. Love it.

This was a great tutorial, thank you very much

Jeff, you are a legend. Thank you! I normally muddle my way through new software but FreeCAD has a steeper than average learning curve. This 16min intro had everything I needed to get my part drawn but regardless I will be working my way through all your FreeCAD tutorial videos!

I have to tell you this. I've been trying all day to draw an object in OnShape and then FreeCad and FINALLY got it done (using FreeCad) after watching this video. Even saved it as a STL file so I can print it on my Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro!!! Thank you so much, you made it so simple! LOL...I'm also 73yr old!

I followed everything you said in the video up until selecting the select polyline tool. I cannot draw any lines, it just changes the orientation of the planes. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. FreeCad seems way more complicated to start designing a part than Inventor or SolidWorks. Am I missing something? I'm using version 0.21.2

many many thanks It is really amazing

Hi just some feedback: While I appreciate you taking the time to make this tutorial, It's very hard to see any text as you've recorded this on an ultrawide monitor. A 16:9 video will be far more helpful, so absolute beginners with standard 16:9 monitors can actually see whats going on. I had to stop watching as I was getting eye strain.

just downloaded 21 not the same as this tutorial.
Not helpful

by far the best Freecad tutorial - concise and to the point - thanks

This is by far the best FreeCAD tutorial I have watched. Clear and concise and covers all the important stuff in minimal time.

Jeff I’m learning so much off ur videos but I can’t move the part around like u can. Any ideas y

The best way of explanation highly simplified

Thank you very much. Your explanation was very informative and complete. It solved my problem.

that's a nice tutorial!

I'm starting to get it, but god I miss AutoCad

Bravo!

An excellent tutorial which shows some of the great tools embedded in the Parts Design workbench - thank-you!

awesome! thanks

I have watched many of these tutorials, I will say yours are top Notch. Thank You.

this was very helpful, thanks

Thanks a lot for the guidance man!

Quality. Teeny thing, you said keyboard, I think you were trying to say numpad.

I'm stuck. I drew a slab. I was done for a while, so I closed the program. I want to put some holes in it. Now when I open it, I can't get the drawing tools to show up. 😕

Very helpful for a first time user. Thanks!

10th time's a charm. I finally got it. Now to see if I duplicate it without instructions.

Great tutorial!! To bad the resolution is so poor. It's really hard to make out the icons that you are working with.

Sound qualty, video quality, and explanations are all well exceptional. Thank you

This was super helpful, FreeCAD has a bit of a steep learning curve

Hmm faster use 19,999😊

Great video! I was able to model my first part and print it!!

This is awesome. Took a few goes to get the 'fillet' at the end. Pity fillet doesn't allow touching as quite complex to make a semicircle in comparison.

One thing to note: I found it useful to see the Constraint and Elements windows while I was following along to make sure I was following along correctly but they weren't always visible.
It was great that you walked through with the drawing too.

A question does anyone know why my line drawing is not visible on the screen there is also a delay in response to the mouse

Jeff!! U r the Man! I really appreciate your patience and step-by-step explanation. I'm 55 yrs old, very motivated to reach a goal and you have been a real game changer. Thank you and really looking forward to more content! Ben

thank you for you video. very informative and helpful with my first cad project.

I watched other tutorials in spanish and english and this one is the most useful one. I will continue the series. Thanks!

Jeff this is SUPER useful Thanks Very much !

Very clear explanation of how to start a part from first step to the end. Best tutorial I've ever seen! Thanks for the clarity.

I thinkt the title should be, Advanced Beginner Tutorial.

excellent tutorial. You have been extremely helpful in getting me started with this tool.

Useful :) I was able to follow along. Thank you!

Very informative, thank you. I'll have to try and learn FreeCAD before Fusion 360. Subscribed. Thank you again.
