<p>FreeCAD is a 3D CAD/CAE <a href="About_FreeCAD.html" title="About FreeCAD">parametric modeling application</a>. It is primarily made for mechanical design, but also serves all other uses where you need to model 3D objects with precision and control over modeling history.
|
|
</p><p>FreeCAD is still in the early stages of development, so, although it already offers you a large (and growing) list of <a href="Feature_list.html" title="Feature list">features</a>, much is still missing, specially comparing it to commercial solutions, and you might not find it developed enough yet for use in production environment. Still, there is a fast-growing <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://forum.freecadweb.org/index.php">community</a> of enthusiastic users, and you can already find <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1222">many examples</a> of quality projects developed with FreeCAD.
|
|
</p><p>Like all open-source projects, the FreeCAD project is not a one-way work delivered to you by its developers. It depends much on its community to grow, gain features, and stabilize (get bugs fixed). So don't forget this when starting to use FreeCAD, if you like it, you can directly influence and <a href="Help_FreeCAD.html" title="Help FreeCAD">help</a> the project!

<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Installing">Installing</span></h2>
|
|
<p>First of all (if not done already) download and install FreeCAD. See the <a href="Download.html" title="Download">Download</a> page for information about current versions and updates, and the <a href="Installing.html" title="Installing">Installing</a> page for information about how to install FreeCAD. There are install packages ready for Windows (.msi), Ubuntu & Debian (.deb) openSUSE (.rpm) and Mac OSX. As FreeCAD is open-source, if you are adventurous, but want to have a look at the brand-new features being developed right now, you can also grab the source code and <a href="Compiling.html" title="Compiling">compile</a> FreeCAD yourself.

The main concept behind the FreeCAD interface is that it is separated into <a href="Workbenches.html" title="Workbenches">workbenches</a>. A workbench is a collection of tools suited for a specific task, such as working with <a href="Mesh_Module.html" class="mw-redirect" title="Mesh Module">meshes</a>, or drawing <a href="Draft_Module.html" title="Draft Module">2D objects</a>, or <a href="Sketcher_Module.html" class="mw-redirect" title="Sketcher Module">constrained sketches</a>. You can switch the current workbench with the workbench selector (6). You can <a href="Interface_Customization.html" title="Interface Customization">customize</a> the tools included in each workbench, add tools from other workbenches or even self-created tools, that we call <a href="Macros.html" title="Macros">macros</a>. Widely used starting points are the <a href="PartDesign_Workbench.html" title="PartDesign Workbench">PartDesign Workbench</a> and <a href="Part_Workbench.html" class="mw-redirect" title="Part Workbench">Part Workbench</a>

<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="First_steps_with_FreeCAD">First steps with FreeCAD</span></h2>
|
|
<p>FreeCAD's focus is to allow you to make high-precision 3D models, to keep tight control over those models (being able to go back into modelling history and change parameters), and eventually to build those models (via 3D printing, CNC machining or even construction worksite). It is therefore very different from some other 3D applications made for other purposes, such as animation film or gaming. Its learning curve can be steep, specially if this is your first contact with 3D modeling. If you are struck at some point, don't forget that the friendly community of users on the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://forum.freecadweb.org/index.php">FreeCAD forum</a> might be able to get you out in no time.
|
|
</p><p>The workbench you will start using in FreeCAD depends on the type of job you need to do: If you are going to work on mechanical models, or more generally any small-scale objects, you'll probably want to try the <a href="PartDesign_Workbench.html" title="PartDesign Workbench">PartDesign Workbench</a>. If you will work in 2D, then switch to the <a href="Draft_Workbench.html" class="mw-redirect" title="Draft Workbench">Draft Workbench</a>, or the <a href="Sketcher_Workbench.html" title="Sketcher Workbench">Sketcher Workbench</a> if you need constraints. If you want to do BIM, launch the <a href="Arch_Workbench.html" class="mw-redirect" title="Arch Workbench">Arch Workbench</a>. If you are working with ship design, there is a special <a href="Ship_Workbench.html" title="Ship Workbench">Ship Workbench</a> for you. And if you come from the OpenSCAD world, try the <a href="OpenSCAD_Workbench.html" class="mw-redirect" title="OpenSCAD Workbench">OpenSCAD Workbench</a>.
|
|
</p><p>You can switch workbenches at any time, and also <a href="Interface_Customization.html" title="Interface Customization">customize</a> your favorite workbench to add tools from other workbenches.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Working_with_the_PartDesign_and_Sketcher_workbenches">Working with the PartDesign and Sketcher workbenches</span></h2>
|
|
<p>The <a href="PartDesign_Workbench.html" title="PartDesign Workbench">PartDesign Workbench</a> is specially made to build complex objects, starting from simple shapes, and adding or removing pieces (that we call "features"), until you get to your final object. All the features you applied during the modelling process are stored in a separate view called the <a href="Document_structure.html" title="Document structure">tree view</a>, which also contains the other objects in your document. You can think of a PartDesign object as a succession of operations, each one applied to the result of the preceding one, forming one big chain. In the tree view, you see your final object, but you can expand it and retrieve all preceding states, and change any of their parameter, which automatically updates the final object.
|
|
</p><p>The PartDesign workbench makes heavy use of another workbench, the <a href="Sketcher_Workbench.html" title="Sketcher Workbench">Sketcher Workbench</a>. The sketcher allows you to draw 2D shapes, which are defined by applying Constraints to the 2D shape. For example, you might draw a rectangle and set the size of a side by applying a length constraint to one of the sides. That side then cannot be resized anymore (unless the constraint is changed).
|
|
</p><p>Those 2D shapes made with the sketcher are used a lot in the PartDesign workbench, for example to create 3D volumes, or to draw areas on the faces of your object that will then be hollowed from its main volume. This is a typical PartDesign workflow:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ol><li> Create a new sketch</li>
|
|
<li> Draw a closed shape (make sure all points are joined)</li>
|
|
<li> Close the sketch</li>
|
|
<li> Expand the sketch into a 3D solid by using the pad tool</li>
|
|
<li> Select one face of the solid</li>
|
|
<li> Create a second sketch (this time it will be drawn on the selected face)</li>
|
|
<li> Draw a closed shape</li>
|
|
<li> Close the sketch</li>
|
|
<li> Create a pocket from the second sketch, on the first object</li></ol>
|
|
<p>Which gives you an object like this:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="center"><div class="floatnone"><a href="https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=File:Partdesign_example.jpg" class="image"><img alt="Partdesign example.jpg" src="1024px-Partdesign_example.jpg" width="1024" height="524" srcset="/wiki/images/5/53/Partdesign_example.jpg 1.5x" /></a></div></div>
|
|
<p>At any moment, you can select the original sketches and modify them, or change the extrusion parameters of the pad or pocket operations, which will update the final object.
|

<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Working_with_the_Draft_and_Arch_workbenches">Working with the Draft and Arch workbenches</span></h2>
|
|
<p>The <a href="Draft_Workbench.html" class="mw-redirect" title="Draft Workbench">Draft Workbench</a> and <a href="Arch_Module.html" title="Arch Module">Arch Workbench</a> behave a bit differently than the other workbenches above, although they follow the same rules, which are common to all of FreeCAD. In short, while the Sketcher and PartDesign are made primarily to design single pieces, Draft and Arch are made to ease your work when working with several, simpler objects.
|
|
</p><p>The <a href="Draft_Workbench.html" class="mw-redirect" title="Draft Workbench">Draft Workbench</a> offers you 2D tools a bit similar to what you can find in traditional 2D CAD applications such as <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoCAD">AutoCAD</a>. However, 2D drafting being far away from the scope of FreeCAD, don't expect to find there the full array of tools that these dedicated applications offer. Most of the Draft tools work not only in a 2D plane but also in the full 3D space, and benefit from special helper systems such as <a href="Draft_SelectPlane.html" title="Draft SelectPlane">Work planes</a> and <a href="Draft_Snap.html" title="Draft Snap">object snapping</a>.
|
|
</p><p>The <a href="Arch_Module.html" title="Arch Module">Arch Workbench</a> adds <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_Information_Modeling">BIM</a> tools to FreeCAD, allowing you to build architectural models with parametric objects. The Arch workbench relies much on other modules such as Draft and Sketcher. All the Draft tools are also present in the Arch workbench, and most Arch tools make use of the Draft helper systems.
|
|
</p><p>A typical workflow with Arch and Draft workbenches might be:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ol><li> Draw a couple of lines with the Draft Line tool</li>
|
|
<li> Select each line and press the Wall tool to build a wall on each of them</li>
|
|
<li> Join the walls by selecting them and pressing the Arch Add tool</li>
|
|
<li> Create a floor object, and move your walls in it from the Tree view</li>
|
|
<li> Create a building object, and move your floor in it from the Tree view</li>
|
|
<li> Create a window by clicking the Window tool, select a preset in its panel, then click on a face of a wall</li>
|
|
<li> Add dimensions by first setting the working plane if necessary, then using the Draft Dimension tool</li></ol>
|
|
<p>Which will give you this:

<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Scripting">Scripting</span></h2>
|
|
<p>And finally, one of the most powerful features of FreeCAD is the <a href="Scripting.html" class="mw-redirect" title="Scripting">scripting</a> environment. From the integrated python console (or from any other external Python script), you can gain access to almost any part of FreeCAD, create or modify geometry, modify the representation of those objects in the 3D scene or access and modify the FreeCAD interface. Python scripting can also be used in <a href="Macros.html" title="Macros">macros</a>, which provide an easy method to create custom commands.
