I am starting to create a tutorial series specifically geared for the use of freecad for architects and revit users. It's a straight cut-to-the point, know how to do most basic things in 2-hours type of series.
Here is the first video:
Second one will be coming out soon:
Tutorial series - Freecad introduction for Architects and Revit users

Thanks for the effort
Please add FreeCAD version info in the description of the tutorials for future viewers. Things have changed drastically between versions and might change again.

Amazing job @dimitar!! That's very clear, understandable, precious material!
Re: Tutorial series - Freecad introduction for Architects and Revit users
Just watching the Intro-002
Great tutorial !
Some quick observation
Great tutorial !
Some quick observation
- Around 4:00, the wall is not showing but there is a Tick on its icon, you may try Recompute
- Turn on the Report View - Wall may give you some hint what is wrong if it is not working / updating
- Around 6:00, you mention the windows are not in designed position. You may have just edited the underlying sketch and the Sketch Edge Index / Wall face index change, so end up your windows in wrong location
[EDIT] - Around 36:00: Alternative to use Subtraction in the Combo View ...
- Double-click the Wall and Task Panel shows up
- Go back to Model tab and select the Part Object for subtraction
(Can select on the Model also) - Go back to Task panel and click Subtraction
- Then Click +Add, and OK

And, notice in 19:30 you have complex sketch to build wall but it seem doesn't recompute.
I have long trying to use sketch for wall and attempt to debug a number of similar issues with my limited knowledge in python -

Can you share your model (best if you have it at the point where Wall fails) maybe I can have a look.
Again, turning on Report View give you more idea about what is wrong.
Thanks.
