FreeCAD For Beginners p.2 - Parametric Modelling

In this video I teach you about Parametric Modelling in FreeCAD. Parametric modelling is by far the most important thing to learn about CAD.
I highly recommend you watch my previous video 'FreeCAD For Beginners p.1' before watching this one.

00:00 Intro
00:15 What is Parametric Modelling?
00:38 Picking Up From Last Time
01:07 Wouldn't it be nice?
01:30 Creating A Spreadsheet
02:08 Which Parameters do we need?
02:55 Creating Parameters
04:13 Using Parameters
05:33 Arithmetic Operations
06:44 Pocket Diameter Parameter
07:51 Height Parameter
08:58 Updating the Design
09:23 Pocket Depth Parameter
10:13 Corner Fillet Parameter
10:55 Parameter Summary
11:18 Changing the Parameters
12:26 Outro

I've only watched 2 of your videos (so far) and I can say this... if you are not an instructor, you should be.
Your pace, content, and delivery are spot on!
Well done and thank you!

I have attempted to learn CAD for years. Figured out how to muddle through Fusion360, ran into their restrictive BS changed to this and was lost on how to update these things since I didn't realize what I wanted was called Parametric modelling. You have saved me hours of getting mad at a screen within 2 videos. Thank you!!

This training is starting at the right level for me, and has made things much clearer, thanks. I was about to give up on ever learning 3d cad.

[EzekielGoldbergII]

This series is amazing. Really blows all other tutorials out of the water.

[jymferrier]

You are absolutely making this more accessible to more people. I'm irritated about the fusion360 license changes so this was very timely.

[chrisnurse]

Awesome - really enjoying how quickly you get through this and how visual your style is - more “show me” than “tell me” - nice!

[philsussex]

Best Freecad tutorials I've found on YouTube. Thank you!

[dannyjones]

I have watched numerous FreeCAD tutorials. This series has been the easiest to understand and follow. I have learned and made more progress from these videos than any others I have watched.

[njsurf]

Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to teach. i learned more in 2 of your vids than i did bumbling around on my own for a week!

[piotrlg]

The best introduction to using CAD the right way I have ever seen. Congratulations for such excelent presentation.

[bencahil]

Great videos!! Finally someone taking the time an doing videos to help us learn the correct ways to use CAD software and so easy to follow!
Thanks for doing them!!!!

[rjuarezp]

Thank you so much for doing these videos!!! Best FreeCAD tutorial I have seen until now!!! Please keep up the good work!!! It helps a lot people trying to use open source software. Your pace, your explanations and also your patience is very much appreciated!!!

[pgwargamer]

Please keeping making these videos!! Your teaching style is incredible. I have been on many courses for Revit and AutoCAD offered by Autodesk for the past 15 years and not one has come close to your style of tuition!!

I really like these first two videos (I haven't watched further in the series yet). I'll definitely be suggesting them to my friend who runs a maker space at a local library to try to encourage her to start teaching FreeCAD to the library patrons (I'm slowly getting her on the FOSS train, especially for teaching to the general public who are learning new hobbies who don't want to (or can't afford to) pay for a seat on the more professional packages.
I only have one constructive criticism. The circle constraint that you used in these first two tutorials is the circle *radius*, (not diameter as you kept calling it). I'm sure you know that as of FreeCAD 0.18+ there actually is a circle diameter constraint. If there is a way for you to add errata notes to your videos, please correct to radius where you incorrectly use diameter.

I must say and I will say it out loud - One of the Few Best CAD tutorials I've seen ... Thank You for Sharing with us from you knowledge and teach us ... I've instantly Subscribed ... Thank You, Thank You and Please keep us on loop with all you do ... Be Safe, Stay safe ...

[messinger]

Outstanding instruction. Thank you for taking the time to teach these things.

[donnastewart]

Thank you so much, I'm surprised to say I'm really enjoying freecad now, thanks to your tutorials.

[GabrielAlejandroZorrilla]

As a Linux user at home I'm really locked to FC, these series is awesome. Thanks!

[Dmcriner]

Excellent, clear explanations. I wish I had this guy teaching me when I studied CAD CAM in the mid 1980's.
