FreeCad Tutorial. How to use Datum Planes, Datum Lines in Multi Body Modeling

This Video Tutorial demonstrate how to generate datum planes and datum lines and use them to create objects in multi body environment.
It answers following questions :
1. how you put planes in multibody environment (using Binder)
2. how to add datum lines and use them in effectively

Really good tutorial.
You cover a lot of good things. Boolean stuff.
I really like how you show what you want to do by showing how NOT to do it.
Very Good!

what's the different on create a body and create a part on a sketch, went you used? you are a great teacher thanks for another good tutorial.

[@cadzis673]

Thanks for your comment... see my video on Tree View. It describe the part and body and how each should be used. Link is below

If your question still not answered ... let me know.

another great video, i like the explanatory style rather that just showing what works

[@cadzis673]

thankyou for your comment.

[@qbitsday3438]

Thank you for the Tutorial , could you help me to understand what is "Import External Geometry" and when to use ?

[@ronaldbonnema4279]

Another good tutorial.

[@cadzis673]

YW. Thank you for your review.

[@georgeleni127]

This is really good tutorial, thanks🙂

It is a good tutorial. Improvement suggestions: (1) Show the FreeCad revision and which OS the tutorial is used. The reason is that the datum plan extension along the X- coordinate does not work for Rev 24291 on Windows 11. I moved back to FreeCAD(24291) due to having some problems with the latest FreeCAD (24366). (2) Show how the final product may be created into a solid mesh. This is a common missing part of many FreeCad tutorials online. In this case, the two bodies need to be combined into one using the boolean operation (the button with two overlapped circles) first, then create Mesh using Mefisto or Netgen. Using the Standard method will not create a solid.

[@cadzis673]

That is very good suggestions. I will keep that in mind

[@Tunishasharmaforever.]

I thought the datum plane will always have this coordinate system.

great tutorial, but why this very basic feature (draw sketch on another plane) require that much steps? Several years ago i play witch Inventor and it was at most 2-3 clicks, but for freecad it took several days to find this kind of solutions which that much steps...

[@cadzis673]

I think there are ways to eliminate few steps even in this case... I kept them since this is a tutorial... Try just drawing 2 sketches/pad and boolean operation.

[@yamenmoner6203]

I can't found offset command in freecad

[@cadzis673]

There is offset tool in Part workbench

[@angeloc700]

This is a great tutorial. I hate freecad.

[@cadzis673]

Freecad is not all that intuitive... But you can get good at it overtime. Thankyou...
