After many frustrating attempts to understand the program, I stumbled upon your videos. My 73-year-old brain finally "gets it". Thank you for your hard work. I know how long it takes to put videos together and appreciate your efforts.

Jeff, I have watched a lot of free cad tutorials and I have to say your style is the best to me. You speech is clear and on point and easy to follow. Freecad is not easy to work with please continue. So far you are hands down very good at teaching.

Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad to hear that this video was helpful. I do plan on uploading more FreeCAD videos.

This is great for people with CAD knowledge but not enough familiarity with FreeCad. Thanks.

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

JeffCAD, you ROCK! Very helpful for the guy who just downloaded FreeCAD yesterday. Thank you for making this video!

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.

Hello, Jeff. I FINALLY found the perfect CAD program, thanks to you! I've been through LOTS of other videos (and some downloads) and this did it for me (just received my 3D printer a few days ago). Bonus round are the reference images you've included; VERY helpful. You're the best! (ivette)

Great tutorial! So glad I found one that's not 2-years old. Really hard to translate from older versions when you know nothing about the app!

As someone who has never been in the CAD world, you make it quite easy to follow along & learn. Thank you.

I very much like the way you went thru that, explaining why you were doing what you were doing. For example, stating the problem with the Fillet command where 2 fillets cannot touch and showing us how to use the Pocket tool to get around that. Thank you very much. I'm going to try to spread your channel to other users. I have subscribed and look forward to your next lesson. So far, you are the only one using 0.21.2. Everyone else is using 0.21.1. I'm sure that'll change with time but it's nice to watch a teacher that is using the same version that I am.

Great tutorial Jeff , looking forward to more videos

I have been 3D printing for some years and always wanted to learn doing simple designs by myself. Al the courses and instructions I could find were always way to technical from the get go. These 2 beginner tutorials are right up my level, thank you ! Subscribed and eagerly awaiting any follow ups should you make any.

Excellent !. Please, we need more clear examples like this one. Greetings from Chile, Juan.

Good pace and clarity, thanks. It's slowly starting to make sense!

Slowly yes. I use Autocad and sketch up pretty fluently. Taking me a minute to get used to Freecad.

Keep doing the great work. Very well explained and clear English, thank you

Jeff this is SUPER useful Thanks Very much !

Fantastic tutorial. I agree with the other commenter that your tutorial was easy to follow and very clear. Great job!

I agree too !.

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

Perfect amount of explanation and show with some wax of wax off, my favorite way to learn.

Great tutorial. Many thanks Jeff!

I was finally able to design something in FreeCad!!!! Big thanks to you ;)

Jeff this is fantastic, thankyou so much for keeping it simple and easy to follow.

The best explanation! Thank you.

Nice one Jeff, Thank You. Brian UK !!!.😀😀.keep um comin !!!.

Excellent demonstration!

Excellent excellent video. So simplified and easy tone conducive to learning. Thank you!

Great Tutorial, thank you!

Very good tutorial. I'm used to Fusion 360 and this tutorial was particularly good at clarifying how I might adapt my F360 workflow to Freecad. It seems that the Fusion UI inserts an extra layer in the process. In Freecad you say you want to add a vertical (or horizontal, or circle) distance constraint, whereas Fusion lets you select a 'distance' mode and rather cleverly works out (almost always correctly) which particular constraint you want by examining the geometry and your mouse movements. Similarly the Fusion extrude command can map to several different Freecad commands. If I want to move to open-source, I think I could learn to adapt to this "lower level" style.

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

Thank you! A very good tutorial

great tutorial keep it up

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

thank you. clear and useful

Gave you a like on all 4 videos. Thanks. I see there are like 20 work benches... maybe a video that touches base on which each one is for? Like what is the difference between 'part' and 'part design'... stuff like that.

nice work. thanks for the help

Good tutorial, I could actually keep up this time :)

Very nice tutorial! Only downside is the resolution of the video. I have a lot of blank space above and below the video and also I do not get sharp image of what you do. I wish you did it 1920 by 1080.

Great lessons. Extremely helpful. You do a great job with these. I have a question. Maybe I'm just stupid, lol, but how do you get the information pannels to the left side? Mine come up at the top and pretty much cover the work area. Thanks again for doing these lessons I hope you continue.

Thank you..

Here you can still learn English because it has good pronunciation.

9:15 how did you move your camera like that? That looks amazing

Great job on the videos. VERY informative and easy to follow. I'm looking to make a 2D design to send to have brackets made on the sendcutsend website. Is there a way to make the main part solid looking and the holes and slots hollow so when I upload laser cutting knows what to cut out? If you know what I mean. Thanks for the vids, please keep it up.

Hi Jeff, Love your tutorial! Question: After closing out of the sketch at 6:34 you then held and dragged the sketch a little bit to the center. How did you do that ? how do you drag the sketch ?? Also, you were able to rotate the design in 3D space like fluidly in Realtime without having to use the 123... and 0 keys How can I do that ?

Is there any way you can show us how you set up your preferences???

Like so many other content providers. They start out with great intentions. But never continue. Leaving there followers in limbo just waiting for more great content. It would be nice if we could get some kind of update. Like "i started this as a college project" or "just don't have time to continue". I just think its sad to see when a person has so much to offer just drops off with out a trace. Any way hope and pray all is well. Just concerned when people disappear from KZread.

I thinkt the title should be, Advanced Beginner Tutorial.

so when i get ready to pad the object, i select sketch but then when i select pad the sketch goes away and the report view window pops up below with a bunch of log info. What happened to my extruded sketch view?

I tried again and now when I hit close the sketch disappears. I have the same version and following along with you exactly but it is just not working the same. I'm baffled.

it says wire not closed . I can see a line that is broken but can't connect line

Hi David, If you select the two points that should be touching, can you then apply a coincident constraint? If one point is attached to the end of a standard line, and the other point is attached the end of an arc, you might need to try the tangent constraint. Let me know if you're still running into problems with that.

both radii will not constrain, i dont understand as ive copied the video to every detail

FreeCAD is still a bit clunky to use. They should stop worrying about features and focus on user interface, unifying ALL tools from multiple different workbenches that are overlapping or should belong together into one or two workbenches and squish bugs... I think the projects already feature rich as it is, they just need to make it simpler and faster to use.

'promo sm' 💋

Why don't you start by explaining Freecad, what I see on my screen the panels, navigation, you know like basic stuff. You that your going to workbench what the hell is a work bench, where is it, what is it, what they do and why. I have been doing drafting and 2D cad for 30 years and I don't have aclue what your saying or doing just like all the online cad tutorials, all in a hurry to make You Tube money.

Great video Jeff, Clean and concentrated information. Well done! d=====(￣▽￣*)b
