Fantastic! I was just thinking about developing a workbench that would enable the generation of structural wood elements from walls, slabs and roofs on Arch/BIM. Similar to how the "Reinforcement" workbench adds rebar to elements. In this case, it would involve setting the studs, spacing, joints, and so on. It's going to be a long journey, and I'm still learning how to bring this idea to life. Greetings!
In FreeCad If you fillet all corners first, both inside and outside (assuming you want the same radius on the) you only have to make one more fillet for the whole outside of the box as you only have to select one of each length of the outside say the 2 top edges and one of each of the bottom edges one inside one outside. And with that second fillet you're done as the fillet will travel along as the corners are allready rounded. And it makes a much prettier corner fillet as well.
doesn't the metal band (lateral) go around the outside of the vertical supports? Otherwise they aren't working together and can move independently, if the band is on the outside they lock together and "contain" one another (and the concrete) much better.
Clearest tutorial I've seen about FreeCad. I taught ACAD but now that I'm retired I have to pay A LOT for it. FreeCad is not at all intuitive, so, thanks. Do you have other tutorials?
Awesome video. I tried watching another video and he was going so fast I couldn't keep up. Even with pausing ti was a pain. Could you do a very quick video on how to convert this to the files necessary to send to JLPCB. Another problem I had was I have kicad 8 so a few things were in different locations. I had to hunt for the text tool.
Thank you so much for going over the basics. After this video I was able to go off and create pretty much anything that came to mind. I just needed to learn how to begin and this was perfect for that.
How to install on windows. I unzip it and one gets a folder. Inside the folder is a bin folder. I click on freecad.exe and it takes ages to open and then does not run properly.
challenge, redesign this so that only three pins are required without using any additional components, just a simple rewiring change (pro tip: I can do this, so it is possible!)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! this tool was making me pull my hair OUT!!!and thanks to the failure states and the ambiguity of the terms and their relation to what we are trying to do experimenting with is was NOT very efficient
So around 1:23, where he's telling us to go to Patreon instead of telling us what he's actually _doing_, it's like this: Click New (top left icon) to get a blank document. Then click the white 2x2 grid icon, which is Toggle Grid (toggle Draft grid). Now you get some axes, no grid. Then (and this is the missing info -- RU-vid says this section is "most replayed", go figure) he's scrolling his mouse wheel like crazy and zooming out, from paperclip scale to house scale. If you look at the bottom right corner of the window, there are dimensions. The grid lines are 12 in apart (because you set them by following the "settings used" link... right?) so if you're zoomed in to 3/8 in you'll never see those lines. You need it to show _feet_, and really _tens of feet_, before you'll get a nice grid to look at. (Instead of the mouse wheel you can also do Ctrl-minus and plus to zoom. Macs use Cmd.)
He sir how I can edit the led is color to make it green red and yellow like this one in the example that had shown I tried several times and can’t edit the color of it this make me lose my mind 😂
Hi Mathcodeprint I have installed your workbench but I can't figure out how to change the height and with of a plate. I can change the length but nothing else. Do you have any documentation for this? Thanks for all your great work.
Nah it's because when the selected the previous value, only the number gets highlighted, not the apostrophe. So he typed 6' 8"' (notice the triple tick at the end) which is not a valid value. Later on he enters the values from scratch and it works fine. He just didn't notice what was in the input box.
You have great intentions, but your presentation is disjointed, confusing, and you explain AFTER you have done the task ...so sad. Please practice before teaching. ......Blind leading the blind.
Try lofting a tubular part. This requires sketches with two rectangles and one is inside the other. I was using loft to create a rectangular tube which varied in dimension along its length. It worked well except at one section where the inner rectangle and outer rectangle crossed over at one loft section of the loft which made an apex in that section of a solid I wanted to 3d print. I really puzzled for hours trying to eliminate it. Eventually i found the reason. Freecad dies not loft double shapes via inner and outer shapes but it lofts double enclosed sketches in the order you create them. 😂😂😂. Wow. This was not obvious to me.
.21.2 is the version I just downloaded and it looks nothing like what you have there. Are you still using .18 and .19? Should I download the old ones? or have you redone cylinders on up to date software somewhere else? I doubt it, this was the first result to my search.
This is going to sound odd but, no, stay with your version a lot has improved. It is very hard to keep videos up to date. If you do want to watch thus video just use it to generally inform you of options availble not necessarily as a step by step. Sorry it isnt a good answer but it is the nature of the vast improvements over the last four years.
Good video. What version of your kiCAD? My kiCAD can't show the 3D design of my pcb and component design. I use kiCAD version 8,can you tell me how to show the 3D?
Everything I print is directly converted to millimeters so I would say the units are millimeters and thats a nice thing to count on without having to scale
The author has never in his life designed reinforced concrete. Stop teaching people this non-sense. Since when is your shear reinforcing inside the main reinforcing? Do you even know what shear reinforcing is for?
Thanks for commenting. Nope I have never. This video is about using a tool in FreeCAD. About how to get a result. The maker of the tool was quite happy with the video. Most people understand the context of the video i am pretty sure, wont they use this as an engineering text ... i am sorry to have upset you so much.
@@mathcodeprint It's not about upsetting me, it's about "teaching" potentially dangerous methods. I suggest reading up on how rebar and structural steel design actually works.
So you need the "negative" of a text The idea being that the stamp leaves readable text on the surface of the ceramic. If you want to do it in Draft workbench, you would then move on to Part workbench and make an extrusion. This video is fairly old now and placing text on an object has been improved on part workbench.
Hi Sorry for the intrusion i am also a learner but have spot some irregularities with your approach or strategy the sketch tools are meant for specific tasks however you are deploying them without precision it is precise to use the curve surface work bench to attach sketch to a sphere or curved objects further to your current approach a sketch will not appear instantly unless it is placed directly on an object thus it keeps asking for reconfirmation when you do so. sincerely
Nice, I re-created it in build123d: from build123d import * with BuildPart() as p: with BuildLine() as l: m1 = Helix(8,12,10) with BuildSketch(m1^0) as s: Rectangle(8,3) sweep(is_frenet=True)
