04:30 Those who have problem with replace Pad.Face13 (Like I had) - Select Sketch001 from tree view, use mouse 2 top on that, choose "Attachment Editor" - You have new Task window, on first row you can click grey box ("Solid", "Plane" ?) it turns to "Selecting..." - Choose your face, hit ok.
Both lessons are excellent. (Everyone loves a British accent). FreeCAD specifically, and CAD programs in general, are inherently complex, NOT intuitively obvious, and can be extremely frustrating. But all MangoJelly videos are exceptionally well done, and well thought out. Each step is performed without error, so there is less confusion. The parts have sufficient complexity but not too much. The presentation is correctly paced for absorption, uses several commonly used features, and is most helpful. FreeCAD is very powerful once mastered. Thank you for doing a great job and a wonderful service to the 3-D community. 😀
Thank you so much for your kind comments. So glad for the appreciation of how difficult CAD is and I have seen many comments blaming freecad when, as you say, CAD is hard full stop. It's one of the reasons why I did this video series. Thank you for commenting and showing your appreciation for the series.
I thought I was about to brush up my basic knowledge of Part designe WB...Actually, I have learnt many new and fine "tricks", such as "refine" for instance... Thank you so much for your always very good tutorials!!!! More over, your english is very easy for a foreign audience... Great great work!!!
Thanks again! I just donated a little bit of money because I'm, like you, an advocate for open source software. I was planning on using Fusion 360, but FreeCAD is worth learning for my future projects. Keep up the good work, your tutorials are really good!
Great video, thank you. I am using the "RealThunder" branch, which is more developed. It does not have that problem with the support/link that you must manually correct for the faces. ( 04:30 ) It also automatically do the refine as you go.
I see at approximately 04:20 that it says "AttachEngine3D: subshape not found, Internal name: Sketch001". That's useful in pointing to the sketch with the issue but is there any way of quickly identifying that the face (Face13 in this case) no longer exists and that is the issue?
at about 4.30 when you change face 13 to face 12 in my version 0.19-24366 on a mac the link dialogue vanishes when I click the face. I then have to move the main window to find the dialogue again before I can click OK, I can not find anywhere to click to bring it back to the front - do you think this is a bug?
I had real problems with the mac version but that was around a year ago when I tried it. I can't replicate what you are experiencing on Windows or ubuntu . It may be worth throwing the question up on the freecad forums. It does sound like a bug.
8 months later…apparently they didn’t fix the problem. I’m not sure what you mean by moving the main window to find the dialogue box. I can not find the box. It just vanishes.
the main window comes to the front (focus) meaning the dialogue box goes behind it and you can't see it any longer. you have to drag the main window over, up, down or minimise it to get to the dialogue box again.
At 4:11 "... we hover over the face and see can see it is saying pad face 12..." Am I correct to assume we see this information on something that is not in the field of view of this video capture?
I found it. I was in the sketcher. I closed the sketch and then I could highlight faces and saw in the GUI bottom the ?status line? with the the text in part saying, ".Body.pad.face12"
I love the videos you make . have you ever drawn multi start threads in 0.19 if you have point me to the video pleas ? If you have not , could you please ? Have a great day sir .Thanks
Thank you for that, glad your enjoying. No I have never done that but it sounds an interesting model to try, I am wondering how it would work in an assembly as well, could be very interesting.

Thank you - was tearing my hair out!
Thanks!
For a complete beginner, this was the most clear introduction to FreeCAD I've found.
Great to hear your feedback, thank you for the kind comments
Yes, me too - For a complete beginner, this was the most clear introduction to FreeCAD I've found.
Great to hear, thank you 👍😊

Thank you so much, it really helps keep the channel going. So pleased more and more people are taking the open source route. Enjoy the journey.
Thank you for good content. Uve helped me get over the new to cad learning curve. "And if you so chose "carry on from texas
Thanks for your FREE cad tutorials.
I Love your all FeeCAD Tutorial......
Thank you 😁
Nicely explained tutorial. I learned a lot. Thank you!
Great to to here, thank you for the comment.
Thanks! No mor presing ecae an leaving sketch by mistake! Lots of useful tips!
Glad you enjoyed 😁👍
Fantastic. Subscribed.

That's interesting to hear, I am yet to check out RealThunder it's interesting to know the differences, thanks for that.
Your The Man

Yes it's in the status bar. Forgot to mention to say cast your eyes down to the left hand side like I do in a number of my other videos

At 5:30 comes the idea of "tip" which was not self explanatory.
