Hi I just want to thank you so much for sharing your knowladge! without you I would have never been able to use freecad for simulations! Thanks so much once more!
Good Stuff! Been looking for days for a simple explanation on how to place parts on a sketch! My mechanical clock is so much easier to mess with now! thank you!

Great tutorial! I found out that besides clicking Rot X to place the arms right then to have each arm in different height (level) one can click Rot Y so that the arms shifts between being above, below, above. below one another. Thanks a lot - you have really helped me getting started with Assembly 4. In the beginning I was really confused because the user interface of the Assembly 4 Workbench has changed its design so that there are other buttons and dialogs than older tutorials show so good to have it explained. I very much like that the Sketches hold the dynamic variables so that there is not too much assembly specific stuff, but instead Assembly 4 reuses a lot of previous components like Sketches, parts and the stuff made for FreeCAD 0.19 re. linking.
Quick question: Am I the only one who gets a lot of these in the 'Report view'? PartDesign::CoordinateSystem / LCS_1: Links go out of the allowed scope , what is this warning caused by - is it some internal fluke or should I just ignore it? I mean everything seems to work well, because the scissor animation plays very well, but the message occurs several times while the animation runs.
Hi. Followed up to "insert a part ...." ...... it doesn't insert. My tree looks like yours, no error message either. Another weird thing is my LCS axis don't go to the start of the four links, they seem random in position and direction (always puts blue axis in correct axis (along element) but some go north and some go south ....HELP!!
I just rig and render in blender. Works well. If you set different colors for each body and export as OBJ it will open up as separate meshes in Blender with coordinate origins intact.
As always, the most useful tutorials on Assembly4 for beginners, or people that need a refresher!

Congratulations!! Best video for scissors animation!! Thanks for you video!

1:36 - theory - explain how asm4 works
3:32 - explain diff between asm3,a2plus and asm4
4:00 - begin construction of scissor parts (sketch with constraints)
5:28 - create part, drag padded sketch (body) into part using `combo view`
6:30 - explain how body/part coordinate systems can not be used with asm4 workbench
6:50 - (asm4) make a `lcs` local coordinate system for the `body`
7:00 - (asm4) create an asm4 model (hide `the ??? thing`) within the `parts` folder using `spacebar`
7:20 - (asm4) create a `master sketch`,
10:14 - (asm4) define coordinate system for `master sketch` (create four coordinate sys using asm4 wb)
10:38 - (asm4) set the map mode for the first coord sys
11:35 - (asm4) explain part (arm) needs to be imported into the asm4 model
11:54 - (asm4) explain, the lcs within the part (arm) needs to be attached to one of the `lcs's` within the asm4 model by using map mode
13:03 - (asm4) hide part (within the parts folder `spacebar`), import part into the asm4 model "group" using the `import button` from the asm4 toolbar
13:30 - (asm4) insert part 4x into asm4 model (perform insert operation four times)
14:29 - (asm4) UNDO/DELETE created parts (the imported parts within the asm4 model)

18:37 - (asm4) reference/define the variables within the `master sketch`
19:48 - (asm4) ref/defind the variables within the `part` (arm) within the `parts folder`
20:19 - (asm4) update the length/variable reference of the sketch within the part (the sketch that is used to create the pad of the original body)
21:40 - (asm4) change values of variables and watch the magic happen 🕴

Thanks. This will be very useful.

Thank you for the common I get the same errors then i use the workbench
Just turn off python control
Sony you cannot set it

Your way is coming to goal, but you have to present it more certain.

What version of freecad do you have I use 0.19.20900 in older ver there was an insert components dialog😁
Hi Mads. Thanks for getting back to me. I am using version 18, and I think that is the main issue.
@@madslethdanielsen2099 I also downloaded a tutorial version of the two gears and shaft, even using that set of files it would not load the parts
.
One word .....Eish
Just click drag the body to part then click on arrow below part
It would have been cool to import an assembly 4 animation to blender and render it there any ideas anybody
I just rig and render in blender. Works well. If you set different colors for each body and export as OBJ it will open up as separate meshes in Blender with coordinate origins intact.
@@cmj317 good 💡idea
are you sure????? you seems uncertain!
it is onli for showing how to use assemble 4 there is not menni vidios on the sobject but if you can du it better your ar welcome😁
