Finnaly I was able to solve my problem thank you so much for this video

Thank you so much. 😃

How do you setup the sketches to be in the right positions for the path? All tutorials I've seen (including the official one) either have the sketches all start at the origin(including the pipe path itself) or they just start off with the sketeches in the correct positions, but none seem to show how you actually start with two independent sketches that you then align to make the pipe

steps: 1. select model, select "Part" in the top menu, select "create shape from mesh.." in a dropdown 2. click on a new piece of geometry select "Part" in the top menu, select "Convert to solid" hide previous items 3. click on a new piece of geometry select "Part" in the top menu, select "Create a copy" select "Refine shape" 4. click on a new piece of geometry select "create a new body and make it active" in the top long menu 5. export file as step or else

In the example you gave with the three rectangles, most FREECAD experts will say NOT to use datum planes. All you need to do is create a new sketch on the origin and offset the placement by the same method using the formulae you used. Datum planes should really be used for angled sketches.

Do you have a video showing how to create a pipe tee with the section teeing off smaller than the other?

Software app rule: "The higher the tolerance - the less time will be taken." Are you not aware that 0.5 is HIGHER than 0.1? That half is MORE than a tenth? That half is HIGHER than a tenth? 'Tolerance', is your tolerance of inaccuracy. The higher it is - the more 'tolerant' you are. (It's an engineering term - and without engineering - you can't be a engineering designer). Methinks that this is even worse: a poor fundamental understanding of maths (probably because younger people are never exposed to fractions - an obviously too difficult concept to teach kids now, because it was obviously too complex for you to learn). Current Socialist foundational education is dumbing down our kids quicker than 'war-mongering' Capitalism ever did. Some kids will watch this video, and this ignorance will throw their learning minds into confusion (even though they had it right first time - without you stating falsehoods). Andrew - it might be an idea to add a comment - pinned? Your in-video commentary highlights your engineering / mathematical ignorance. You need to beg pardon for it. ;-)

Question, there is a part i would like to model, and its the foot to the mpcnc machine. A gentleman using the Ls3 fork of freecad modeled the curved foot by offsetting copies of the same sketch at different sizes, then lofted. I would like to see it done using the pipe method. Thanks

Inspiring and excellent

Very inspiring! So useful! Great speed.

Let me just repeat the latest comment: Outstanding tutorial. Useful examples. Clearly explained. Bravo. Thank you.

excelent

Do this, do that..... But what shape binder IS? You need your $30 for YT so badly, pushing out semi-useless content.

Best Path tutorial I've seen. THANKS

Holy moly, I'm so sorry, you're clearly very good at this, but I can't follow. I just want to know how to pinch and pull in a single plane. Maybe I need a different program...

Yours have the best FreeCad tutorials I have come across. It's a shame that you aren't making videos any more.

4:11 How do you make the helix path?

Hello, I have the same version in FreeCAD as you, but the Thickness icon does not appear. What could it be due to?

I really struggled with a double loft ruled profile. Basically a piped profile with a shape as the profile crossed inner and outer walls at certain sections. I spent days trying to rectify it. In the end it appears Freecad joins profiles in the order you create them and not whether they are both inner or outer walls. Hope this helps someone.

Thanks Andrew. Nice and quick

Thank you. Verry good discribed.

Outstanding tutorial. Useful examples. Clearly explained. Bravo. Thank you.

Hi. my freecad don't have spiral pattern in 3d pocket. Do you install other plugin?

thank you what a fantastic video learning a lot!

Shift who? 1:04 when i try to enter the value, the camera angle changes...Not usual in any kind of cad/Bim software.

Great explanation of the helix tool! This is new to me, and you did a great job of showing how it works. thx.

thank you :)

Hello sir i m stl file to convert solid file please help contact nombar send please

I only wish I had found this lesson earlier. I have navigated from AutoCad into FreeCad, and it has been somewhat frustrating. I've really found this lesson helpful and easy to digest. I'm looking forward to more. Thanks!

Am I missing something? It says solid from stl! Why is the stl from the solid?

very good and many thanks!

Hello Andrew, I have a real challenge which is about the helix, subtractive on a cylinder like a thread. Then put another helix on the same spot and reverse it. so it comes to a continous path as found in fishing spooling equipment. The problem is that I could not make it couple on the ends where the inverted and the regular helix connect. my setup is cylinder d=25, h=50. A 3mm wide cutout on the helix and 2 turns over 45mm. Basically if you rotate it is an inifinity path always crossing smoothly with an arc at both ends. Maybe you have an idea how to solve that.

love this tutorial. I didn't have to sit through an agonizing 5-10 minutes, but had my questions answered in the first 3 minutes.

Does using shape binder to bind a sketch to a surface eliminate the topology naming problem?

Good but please try to stop vocal fry... it is very off putting!

I don't know what I did wrong.... If you are trying to create a datum plane between top and bottom faces, you can do that easily by selecting first top, then bottom faces to. This feature doesn't work for vertical plan (z-y plane, for instance)

0:20 > How do you make the arc to exit from the middle of one sketch to the other? I'm trying to do this single task, but I'm not able to do it

amazing video, i have a question can i machine a mesh part with freecad ?

Hello. If I want to extract volume(bottle of exhaust/intake manifol of car) I need to plug all the outlets of the solid model, then (theoretically speking) erase one outside surface of the solid, which will make the entire outside of the solid model to fall apart and create only surfacessss and then the inside volume should stay as a solid. I can then use it as a model for the casting core and also test the volume of the bottle....I just cannot find anywhere (user forums or youtube vids.), how to erase a surface from the solid body. Do you have any solution?

Hi , sir i do have a question, does freecad have any deform tools like cage edit or bend tool ?

This just saved me hours of work trying to recreate a waveguide (horn) , I spent hours yesterday drawing it with datum planes on weird angles and all i needed to do was draw the cross sections every 50mm 🤪

So much easier than sweeping and swopping WBs and doing Frenetting.

Very useful feature. 😂😂First guy I ever heard who asks for a thumbs down if you don't like their video. 😅 I will give a thumbs up.

Neat video, thanks.

So far I have studied in your 152 lectures. I have a laser and a 3D printer in my studio, I got parts for a CNC machine, I haven't built it yet. I am a sculptor, a poet and much more. Thanks to you, I will be able to raise my creativity to a higher level. Not to speak demagoguery hypocritically, in this sick world, regardless of your motive, you are one of us who sheds light on the darkness. Many philosophers have emphasized that knowledge is the cure for darkness. I want to thank you for your knowledge and work that you have shared with us that you don't even know. It's time to step back and remember you every time I create something that makes me happy. I wish that your life will be kinder to you and that you will have more smiling days in it. Thank you good being ~

Thank you, for your job!
