Hi I'm a first time user of FreeCAD or any CAD program for that matter.

Been following tutorials on Youtube copying the drawing of the Whiffle Ball, sounds silly but i'm not getting same results, everything works till i try to change orientation of the triangles to cut away the corners....

Hi, welcome on the Forum,

the Problem is , the Whiffle Ball Tutorial is for an outdated Version.
Please ONLY look at tutorials for 0.17 or 0.18 if it´s about PART DESIGN WORKBENCH

There is a BIG difference in that Workbench between <0,17 and >0.16 Versions
Kaum macht man´s richtig , gehts´s
