#LIBRECAD TUTORIAL HOW TO#
Could someone please try to get my head on the right track as to how to proceed with my project? My search skills here and over at Google seem to be lacking either. Is that the way to go an I'm just understanding the work "part" wrong? Should I just copy and paste my beams etc.?). I also failed to find anything similar in the tutorials/documentation (I've seen the engine block tutorial, but they are drawing one part from different primitives. As far, as I figured, the idea is to create the parts in seperate files and assemble them? I couldn't figure out how to import the files, much less assemble them into my design.Īs it stands, my concept of how FreeCAD works and how the software actually works seem to be rather disjoint. So I looked at the Assembly workbench, tried to make sense of it, but failed. Creating one of the beams was easy, but there seems to be no way to keep multiple parts in one file. I kind of expected to be able to recreate this workflow in FreeCAD, but failed.
In LibreCAD I was just creating three blocks, one each for a length of beam and one for a threaded bar and insert them into the document as often, as needed. It's going to be raised bed, so rather simple design: 2 different lengths of wooden beams with bore holes, a bunch of threaded bars to keep them together, nothing fancy. Trying to get a hang of FreeCAD (LibreCAD is 2D only, which isn't enough for some of my more ambitious plans), I wanted to recreate a design I already did now in 3D. Total FreeCAD (and mostly CAD) newbie here, so please bear with me, if my question seems stupid, but: how is the intended workflow for creating a design with multiple parts? I've been using LibreCAD so far and made extensive use of the blocks feature, where you basically create a shape/part of a design and reuse it over and over again.
