New FreeCAD Feature! Complex Extrudes from a Single Sketch Like in SolidWorks

Discover an exciting upcoming feature in FreeCAD v1.00, already available in version 0.22! Learn how to create models from a single master sketch containing multiple profiles using FreeCAD's new "profile from selection" functionality, similar to SolidWorks.

Wow, this will make FreeCAD so much easier to use!

Now all they need to do is modify it to be the same as RealThunder branch where you can just select the actual face instead of the outer wire of the profile.

My honest opinion! If there would be no MangoJelly tutorials, nobody would use FreeCAD! So your channel is a core part of of FreeCad development! Keep up amazing work!

Finally! Freecad is really coming along. Can't wait for version 1!

[filiepmaes]

Thank you so much for showing us the new features. Freecad is now a grown up !!

[lakisan]

This is a game changer!!!
Now i can finally recommend Freecad!!!

That's how you expact CAD program to work... Really good to see it implimented, and thank you so much for showing it in action.

cool FreeCAD devs gave it so much boost lately, thank you for reviewing new features

[patpat]

That's the feature I was waiting for a long time

This is a great addition. Love seeing FreeCAD getting better and better

This showed up in my list a week late. I was designing a button and LED plate for a project case for my MiSTer and did each layer individually that I needed, and had to restart a few times because I was confusing the hell outta the software in 0.20.0 and 1.0.0 to the point where the final layer was basically an inverse geometric 4D thing. Looked so strange, but, I couldn't undo enough. I think I hit a constraint problem and it just went all chaotic. This is an AMAZING tip! Thanks!

This is such a time-saver and will keep the project body clean and tidy as well.

At 2:07 when you hold down the ctrl key to select the perimeter lines one at a time it makes me wish FreeCAD had a command that would select all curves & lines that touch the selected line. I have used other CAD programs where shift+"~" does this. A real time saving feature if you have a complicated perimeter that needs selecting. Love the MangoJelly videos--very helpful.

[zihotki]

This is going to be a huge time saver, can't wait for the v1 release!

[dpartsu-allvisualsu]

It's great that you don't need the Part workbench for this anymore! 👍

[abowden]

YES this is what bounced me off freecad when I, thinking 'oh it's finally good now' tried to use it just recently!

[simduino]

As always super well explained. I've been using the 0.22 dev version for some time now and it really is much better to work with. Thanks for explaining these features so simple and clear.

[dernachfrager]

It also works with a sketch and two bodies. Create a new body, right-click on the sketch and move it to the other body. It works. And if you change something in the original sketch, all objects will follow the new geometry.

[stancooper]

MASSIVE improvement! Thanks for sharing.

Well this is real gamechanger. This is reason I was stucked to Fusion 360 all those years. Damn, this is huge - still room for improvement tho: instead of selecting lines, would be great to be able just to select closed part of the sketch, that would be just one click and go and that would put this CAD software truly on par with those big companies. I know it can be programaticaly difficult, but I believe in FreeCAD team there are truly great minds.
