Beginner Tutorial 2/5 - Onshape 3D CAD - Adding Features 

pov: your design teacher sent you here

It is clear to me that this instructor (teacher) has exceptional skill in teaching. I found this to be immensely helpful and useful to me. Thank you.

The instructor is crystal clear in his explanation. Have not found anything better than this till date. Thank you for doing this.

Teachers like this make complicated things like this simple and easy.

6-year-old video and it is still an EXCELLENT resource! This guy is awesome!! THANK YOU SIR! :)

Watched both 1 and 2 parts. I’m amazed at how intuitive this software is. Some fine program design work was done on it, thank you. I’ve tried and failed at CAD before. Might be over now.

Exceptional teaching skills. David knows exactly what is pertinent and what the pitfalls are, and issues the necessary instruction without excessive verbiage. Onshape should pay him handsomely for this service.

THIS is how to teach. Took me a second to find the right basics videos.... so excellent. Great work and thank you!

I'm brand new to any CAD software and you have made this so clear and easy to understand. Thanks so much for taking the time to put these tutorials together.

Mnay years ago I learned another CAD tool mostly through trial and error and it probably took me over a week to learn what this video has taught me in under 20 minutes. This dude is a hero.

Incredibly easy to follow ive been watching for only 20 minutes and have already created my first model and i am printing now

You've got a natural talent for teaching.

I am a retired manufacturing engineer. I worked in a sheet metal facility (NC lasers, punches, and brakes). We used Pro/E as our CAD/CAM system. I am excited to find a free system that is very similar to what I am familiar with. You have created very nice tutorials! Thanks, Don

I'm not sure who the instructor in the video is (David Thomazy ?) but he is THE BEST !! Onshape should contract him as their Official online trainer. He is better than any other online CAD instructor that I have ever come across. Best wishes my friend !!

One of the best tutorial series I have ever experienced on RU-vid. Thanks a lot.

Oh my, you explain this so clearly. I was easily able to follow along and I'm a 70 yo woman!

Fantastic walk through. I'm going to keep working on this. Awesome features and great teaching skills.

thank you so much you just saved me from not paying attention in class

Very helpful, I have understood a lot of basics I have missed out on just by watching the first two videos here. Thank you

This was a good tutorial. The only issue I have is at the beginning -- you hadn't announced to the audience that you had "hidden" the 3 planes and the origin. I hadn't noticed this, and I was working through the tutorial until I got to the part of placing the center point. I saw the origin dot already present and I confused as to why a circle was already at there. I went back and forth a few times to figure it out, until I finally realised that it was the origin dot, which you had hidden but had not announced in the video that you had hidden.

Your tutorials were so helpful, I got a good grade because of you. Thanks

OK I have to say these tutorials are AWESOME!!! Thanks so much for your work in this!

Just saw the first video and I'm so impressed that I've directly subscribed this learning channel. i have seen two webinars of ONSHAPE also ,but this tutorial video is much much better than that . Really helpful , Thanks.

Don't forgive to give this guy a thumb up.

Really thank you this helped me a lot. My school is using this program for some classes and I think I can really impress my teacher now.

wow you are so much better than my actual teacher! these videos are easy to follow along and very helpful... i wish you were my teacher omg. thank you so much!!!!

These are really great videos. I’m just starting all of this and playing through it a little bit at a time. Thank you for being so patient and an excellent teacher.

this tutorial is really helpful I have to learn this in a short amount of time, and your videos are helping me a lot

Just wow..I was struggling with Freecad forever since my fusion360 ran out not knowing that onshape is soooo much better!! This tutorial is awesome in every way...thaks so much!👍

Loving your tutorials. I am a new subscriber to Onshape, also to your channel.

Great tutorials, thanks so much!!!!

This tutorial is awesome! I'm so excited to start creating with this! One thing that would aid in viewers comprehension is if there was a finished picture of the feature of the model you are explaining about and trying to create.

I really like your tutorial style! I guess it helps that you were (are?) a teacher in real life ;) Onshape seems really powerfull and convenient - just what I was looking for (coming from Tinkercad for 3D modeling). greets, Mario

Before retiring ~8 years ago I had used Pro-E and Solidworks. Just heard of Onshape via "Stuff Made Here", and signed up. Opened it and... Like going between Solidworks and Pro-E... it looks similar, but I can't figure out how to do anything. :-) First RU-vid video to show up was this, and after 1 video I feel 'in control' again. I'm sure the rest of the series will be as useful and I'll once again be able to design parts. THANKS for the great video.

Thank you so much! This is one of the best tutorials for onshape. Thanks again.

very easy to follow and detailed ,thank you

I just found your videos and they have been extremally helpful. I'm an absolute beginner to this and really needed some starting tutorials. I just ordered my first 3D printer and need to learn CAD to use it properly as I've got some specialty projects for work and no one else knows any CAD. I really like the way you are able to make things clear and step by step. 6 years after you posted this video, your instructions still work perfectly. Thank you.

Such a clear way to teach. Thanks.

Love your videos, you make drawing so easy.

Extremly clear video just want to watch them all because of how good he his

Really well explained, I would recommend to any beginners on onshape

I am truly liable to comment on this video....this video is just incredible....thank you sir

Anther excellent tutorial, tq!

nice paced easy to follow tutorials that cover some nice basics. Helped me get starting from scratch, never touched any 3D drawing/rendering program before. But now in approximately 1 hour, I made my first basic model. =) thanks for the tutorials, looking forward to the more in depth tutorials that I'll get to later.

You are amazing!! Thank you for the tutorials

Great videos, great instructor. It would have been nice to at least mention that the dovetail can also be done by using a draft extrude from the top, it's much easier and generally more robust, though I think showing the dovetail sketch as drawn is a useful thing to learn as well.

Very very nice , thank you so much

This really is great stuff!! Thanks.

My respect! Very useful!

Excellent clear instructions

These are so good, thankyou so much

Thank you a ton. Great tutorial

Great demo!

this is just great tutorial, thanks

Para quando mais vídeos tutoriais? Excelente trabalho parabéns.

Damn you make it easy for me to understand, thank you so much 🙏.

Great videos so far. I already like Onshape more than F360.

Hello, I tried many different programs to design with. All were kinda crappy. I almost gave up and stumbled across onshore. Your tutorial is so amazing that it will get me back on track. I own a small entry level 3D printer and thus far I only printed things other people uploaded, which limits the possibilities, but today that changed :D I really liked how you always say “okay” and "we want that”. It sounds kinda stupid at first, but it really helps the though process soo much... Also when you explained how to find the midpoint of the face on the right.... man that feature is so amazing and even the guy that told me about how he is using on shape for more than a year din't know about it. And you explained it so well. Thank you very much!

This man could go on about this software for 4 hours

I actually find this video pretty intertaining. Ecxept for me doing it i class. Pretty good job

Great introduction

Your awesome THANK YOU

really good tutorials

thanks bro regards from Syria

At around 7 minutes - I'm unable to reference the midpoint of the smaller line segment like you do here. Is this something that's changed in OnShape? Is there a hotkey I need to press or a different tool I need to use?

This is the best tutorial I've ever watched! I remember everything, it's nice and detailed, while also being very entertaining, I could've never done anything close to this on something as simple as Tinkercad! I'm so happy to move on to the last 3 parts of the beginner tutorial! Tanks again!

Thank you very much

Amazingly amazing !

thank you that helped me alot! 😍😁😁

I would have no idea what to do without this tutorial. It is very clean and well edited. Thank you so much! :)

Thank you so much

Is there website with screws thread types and how to model them? Same thing to clip parts, any website that show tolerance to clip effectively?

Absolutely the best CAD instruction I've watched. Brilliant teaching, thanks!

thankyou you are amazing

When I moved the 'center slot' sketch to the middle, I got a little too close. When I tried to draw the central construction line, it stuck to the full shape's sketch instead of the slot. Make sure you move the 'slot' off center just enough to avoid that (or construct the center line before moving it).

Awesome! Thank you so much!

Really great! ;-) thnx

I noticed that in order to mark the center of the rectangle (6:58 in the above video), I had to zoom out so that both the top and bottom edges were shown. Then I could see *two* rectangles - the one for the center of the circle, and the one for the center of the rectangle. However, the rectangle center highlight was only visible on the bottom edge of the rectangle, not the top edge

It's not calculating the dimension from the edge of the rectangle to the edge of the inner rectangle. It's only calculating the full length of the top line. Do you have an idea what I might be doing wrong?

ty for ur time

skill teacher !!!!!

At 6:59, the middle point is not showing for the rectangle. Is this because I am using an updated version of OnShape, or is there something I have to change in my settings? Any reply/answer would help, thanks.

yes guys i like it i love

As a total newbie, this is fantastic, press esc and move the line... ahhh that is why I could not move it, mentionning about vertical and coincidence icon while making a line. how to restart when I mess up like click on white space and start over, newbies always make mistake

After following the instructions @15:00 to 15:30 I keep coming up with 'can't dimension to itself' or similar. Is there a fix, etc.?

I wasted a few days trying this garbage called DesignSpark thinking it works like SW. Onshape is SW !!! This 2nd tutorial convinced me to the right direction.

Could this part actually be used for something in manufacturing? Does it have a name? Thank you for the video it was really interesting

At 18:00 why did that set the diameter, rather than the circumference? The edge selected represented the circle's circumference and there was no edge or construction representing the diameter. Is that just convention?

At 17:16 you said to "uncheck now remembers". Where is that found, please?

I am thinking that these were very nice videos in their day, but I am unfortunately having trouble following along with 7 years of software revisions between us. A lot is mostly the same, but some of your movements in your version I am not able to reproduce in my version. Kind of like you, in a Model T, trying to teach me to drive in a Ferrari. Any suggestions? Thank you... I should mention that I am trying to advance from a good bit of experience with TinkerCad, to something more powerful and flexible.

amazing tutorial da]\

yes second one we're making progress class

At 17:30 , is this possible on the Android version?

U DAMN TOO GOOD MAN U TOO DAMN COOL

"Good, this is what we want"

if you miss a single step be careful you will have to backtrack allll the way back or completely start over like i did 3 times so far

What is this part that we're making for?

6 years ago, shit, I feel like they're suddenly sponsoring half of RU-vid

Please stop using inches and talking so much about inches. Love the content and the calm you explain things with. I never had the patience to learn CAD but you pulled me in.
