This was a waste of time.

Pearls before swine, Tom Meyers

Ulrich, Thanks for the links. https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Category:Tutorials and https://freecadweb.org/wiki/Manual:Introduction The Category:Tutorials with Category:Manual ( https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Category:Manual ) with a roadmap is in my opinion just what is needed as well as having m...

This has been discussed in the past, our conclusion is that keeping the wiki up to date with the very few who work much on it means that your suggestion, which was consideted, is unworkable. We decided on the simple policy that the wiki follows master (not release versions) with a note added saying...

Here is a lead for you. Take a look at mesh wb and search documentation for nurbs.

I studied tjat a little last week and i think you may find value thete for changing a shape. A good skill for what is called organic models.

Venche, I don't see a groove in the red object; I am assuming that you translated to english and a little got lost. So, in a nebulous way I see a depression in that (seat?, foot rest?) Starting high at the back side and low in the center front side and a form that is ribbon-like. With that in mind I...

Tony, Here are steps to follow: 1) Open FC part design WB -- new -- add a part 2) open image WB -- image icon 2 - choose image -- xz plane -- view front face 3) sketch wb - sketch use periodic b-spline z-axis, 2 points in quadrant, x axis ... (trace) last point make coincidentwith forst point (when ...

Chris,

Thanks. This was new and helpful for me. Is that only available as a capability for the Draft WB Scale?

Tom Meyers

Tony, I too explored many other free and for pay 3D CAD systems. Some simpler and some more complex. I settled on FreeCAD and was determined to master it part by part as I needed capabilities for environmental sensor-enclosures and jewelry design. Looking back on that journey I think that although t...

Thanks Sal.

The goal Tony has is to 3D print his creation. do you have any suggestions on design choices for 3D Printing?

Tom Meyers

Max, Thanks ... This is the direction we need to go. We have 2 formers and need to draw the rest some may be symetric and so we might be able to make them with copies that have expressions for scaling. I am keeping in mind: this is to be 3d printed so we will need some supports and wall thicknesses....
