[Tutorial] Ondsel/FreeCAD VariableSet use for parametric design. 

It's great to have you back, the video's great as always.

I think you’re the best channel of freecad you helped me a lot

Nice to see you again. Thanks!

I do like the variable sets. Very impressive way to setup the document over sheets

I found this to be an excellent introduction tutorial into Ondsel ES / FreeCAD. Thank you for your hard work!

I've needed this so badly! I've actually had a really hard time dealing with variables to be shared across models (without resorting to multipart) in other CAD software. Usually, my go-to was to use excel spreadsheets to drive a design - but that had strange limitations. This looks basically like multpart, but does seem intuitive to use. Support for integer lists seem to indicate that configurations might be a *really* nice! I'm excited to try this out! Also: *finally* a linux CAD suite that's (maybe) ready for prime-time! I know freeCAD has been here a minute, but I just ...couldn't take the interface/breakage. Recent updates to Ondsel make me feel like it's (maybe) time to dive in - tutorials like this go a long way! Thank you!

So this is pretty much a replacement for Dynamic Data? Really great that there’s a built-in solution now.

Great video! I found this very useful. Please make more videos using Ondsel ES - its UI and workflow is on another level, the best next step forward for struggling FreeCAD beginners. Thank you for all the useful tips and good explanations, so far, and all time and effort you must put into your quality videos. Cheers!

That is handy. I can see a case both for variable sets, and for spreadsheet/alias. I can imagine a scenario where it is just easier to see all parameters in a single sheet and be able to navigate them without a lot of GUI clicking, plus the ability to use cells for notes or related information.

finally a new video!

OMG! that ticking sound in the background

At about 7:00, you set the cube's color to orange. I can't get this to work in FC 0.22.38001 or Ondsel 2024.2.38021 - the shape just remains gray. Could this be caused by a preference setting? Or perhaps it's a regression.

You said that VariableSets can be used to store values across files. How does that work? Isn't a VariableSet stored inside of a FCStd file?

Why have a separate entity like CubeProperties with variables instead of just naming the relevant constraints and refer to them directly, or if it's some property then refer to that directly??

Looks way better than the spreadsheets prevously used :) Is this a freecad or ondsel exclusive feature?

given the updates to freecad with .22 and 1.0 coming, and with some of the yet to be merged features of linkstage, which do you think you'll be working with more: Ondsel, 0.22dev/1.0, or linkstage?

What KDE theme do you use?
