Customisable Parametric Design using Spreadsheets

Post by Brodie »

A quick video introducing the spreadsheet workbench and how to use it to create customizable models.

I'm still new to making videos, so constructive feedback on content delivery, structure etc is appreciated.

Thanks for sharing. Allow me two comments. One concernss videos in general: You should start all videos with opening the FreeCAD about, so that viewers can immediately see which version you used.
The other concerns the contents: You should use HorizontalDistance for, well, horizontal distances, and not the general Length constraint. It is friendlier to the solver.
