Complex Lofts in FreeCAD in Minutes even Seconds! Easy, Quick and Simple! 

Drawing within the confines of FreeCAD gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "there's more than one way to skin a cat".

Just discovered this, wow, I. have learned form you, thanks.

I found this workbench about a week ago and installed it thinking this could be useful , just need to know how to use it ... the gods heard me 😊

Excellent illustration of an interesting and complex Workpackage

perfect. we need tools like this on a board, default. thanks for share it

Thank you very much. I'm always amazed how much you know about FreeCad and how well you can explain it.

Oh that is great. Thx for another great video

Great explanation und tutorial. Thank you 🙂

Very handy! Thanks for sharing the excellent tutorial as always. i'll be having a play around with this technique.

thank you so much sir

If you want to precisely control where at spline tangents to, just create an extra point. The spline will just touch the midpoint of the two control points. You can not only control where the spline touches, but at what angle it hits that point.

you can incrase more items in the property section to close the shape more easily

aside from its ovious utility, it looks like a way to make cool looking, mor organic forms

😍 thank great job !!!

You are going to put surf board shapers out of work. Beautiful example of curves. Thank you.

What about in the case where we want to maintain a constant thickness to chord ratio such as in a NACA foil? Is there an easy way to do this?

Super explanation of this workbench. I didn’t know it was so easy and versatile. Next, can you show us how to add servo cut-outs and ribs to a model wing like this? Even ailerons using assembly technique or however you think is a direct and practical way? Thank you. Thank you..

Nice video. Is there a way to make the trailing edge a constant thickness through the entire loft?

Very Useful WB. I just finished 28/53 aeroplane canopy and I knew there had to be a more calculated procedure. How can I create templates from the profiles inorder to create a wooden plug for making a mold for composite work Thanks I am really satisfied with my increased FreeCAD skills!

The *Twist* control at 14:00 actually works like "rotate"! Or am I missing something here? (On the other hand, the *Twists* control _does_ twist the body.)

Just a quick Question. While building a box, and using the thickness tool, the sides and the to, all change, and I would like thicker walls and a thinner roof. Is there away to keep the roof thickness at 1.5mm and the walls at 3mm? It is quite a wast to have the roof the same width. It is a small box, and it is causing some troubles with other dimentions. Thank you for all your video's, I've learned a lot from them. Michael

I still dont get how to convert this curved array into a body. Because now you may have created a wing, but you want to transform it, or position it, maybe even add details or merge it with other parts. But its not working. I am trying to make a Bonanza F33 and I split the engine cowling into 4 parts. Now I have the top left made, as a curved array. And thats it. I cant merge it, I cant mirror it, Thats all. I cant even select it for conversion.

I was actually working on a tail of a helicopter a couple days before you posted this video. Oh boy hoe that wouldve made things so much easier than a bunch of gradually changing lofts like how i did it because that needed reference vertexes to use as base points on each loft

I have a problem. the profile I chose is somehow smaller than my sketch. Does anyone know why this is?

I just can't get the Loft to close up the way you do. The last section (no matter how small I make it all ends up being all screwed up. If I add a point then it seems to get worse and reverts to sharp points. I have ver 0.21.1. Not sure if its anomalous to this version or I need more practice.

Just trying to figure out how to atach this to a hub and polar array it for a prop, can you help? Please, and thanks

Not my kind of loft know what I mean no roof on it do you do that kind room plans ect. Cheers

Not related to this video. But I searched for the surface workbench in the addon manager. I cannot find it. Help please.

G'Day Darren, I'm running FreeCAD 0.21.0 at 19:40 when attaching the sketch instead of InertialCS I get offered Inertia 2-3 (amongst other options)? I'm trying work through it using a Wing of my own Design but using the above when I get to the Loft the Curved array is not showing (just my Sketches to create the wing). I'm ok up to this stage and have found experimenting with Various options and Parameters give Me decent results. Would however like to keep following your Tutorial as close as I can. I like some other posters are looking to construct Radio Control Models and Some guidance on converting to drawings that we can manufacture, cut templates form would be nice. Regards, RW I'll experiment to see which attachment option works.
