Hello friends welcome to Free c tutorial and in this tutorial we will do modeling
0:05
and a drafting of this part as you can see that I have already modeled it with
0:10
respect to the orthographic View and you can see that our model is matching with
0:16
a isometric view in this tutorial we will not only create a 3D model but we also create a
0:23
technical drawings as you can see that I have a created drawings in a free Care
0:29
Tech draw workbench and our views and dimensions are matching with our 2D
0:36
drawings so in this tutorial I will show you how you can do modeling as well as
0:42
drafting in freead so I will close this file and create a new
0:48
file you can also visit my website Mach nexus.com where I write articles and
0:55
tutorials on freead you can download my tutorials source file from here tutorial
1:01
source file page and you can also support me by buying a cup of coffee on
1:09
kofi.com your uh small support will help these channels to grow and it will
1:15
motivate me to create more awesome content on fread I thanks to all my
1:21
supporter those who have supported me by buying a cup of
1:26
coffee so keep supporting and and uh it will help me to grow this Channel and it
1:34
will motivate me to create more awesome and useful tutorials on freeat so let's
1:41
come back to our tutorial so here I have created a new file and first thing which
1:46
I will do is to insert my body and on Origin plane first feature which will be create
1:53
is to create this base diameter so I will select this top plane and click on the sketch select a
2:01
circle create a circle and come out of the
2:09
sketch Let's uh first give the dimension to this diameter which is off
2:18
71 which we can see here so I will select a dimension tool and give it
2:26
a 71
2:32
now I will off the origin plane now select the sketch click on the
2:38
pad and give the pad of 9 mm
2:44
thickness and uh click on okay now I will switch to the
2:49
isometric and uh now we will create this feature so we will select this top face
2:56
click on the sketch I will rotate my model and here first thing which I will do is
3:02
to project the outer diameter and here I will create a
3:09
three-point arc on the both the
3:15
sides and uh select this both the arc and apply the equal
3:21
constraint now click on symmetricity select this point this
3:27
point and this axis and select this point this point and
3:33
this axis and apply the dimension of 15
3:53
mm similarly this side
4:01
and now we will draw horizontal line on the both the
4:08
sides one here one here same way on other side one
4:15
here one here and now I will select a three-point
4:26
Arc and
4:32
you The Coincidence relation and
4:38
here we will provide uh Dimensions let's select uh
4:44
diameter and give it a
4:50
47.5 and select this and this and uh made it
4:55
equal so our sketch is fully constrained we will close it and we will add the material of
5:14
11.5 okay now now uh we will
5:20
uh add this material so for this we will select the stop phase and click on the
5:25
sketch and uh we will rotate our model and now so
5:31
here we will create a two three-point arc on both the
5:39
sides here and here and we will uh Zoom our drawing so
5:48
here is a r is a 5.5 on the both the sides so first thing which I will do is
5:56
to add a coincidence relation for both The Arc to the
6:03
axis and uh select dimensions and give it uh
6:11
5.5 select this and this and uh made it equal now if you see the center to
6:20
Center distance is of 35 so select symmetricity select this and this and
6:25
this uh AIS and uh
6:31
provide it to
6:37
35 and uh we will uh move the point of our
6:47
Arc and we will create a two three-point arc on the both the
6:54
sides one here and one on the other sides now select this and this and add a
7:02
coincidence select this and this and add a coincidence now we will connect all
7:09
four Arc with a
7:20
line now here is of a diameter 31 so we will
7:27
select uh diameter and provide it 31 and we will select
7:34
this and this and add equal and now we will add a tangency
7:40
relation at all possible location select this and this and add a tangent select
7:46
this and this and add a tangent
7:52
tangent tangent
7:57
tangent and tangent and
8:07
tangent now we will see what is the UN
8:14
constraint so here if you see that Center to Center
8:19
distance is a 35 and it is symmetric and
8:26
here Center Point is not coincidence for this to Arc so we will select this and
8:32
this and add a coincidence select this and add a
8:38
coincidence so our sketch is fully constrained now we will select the
8:43
sketch and click on the pad and give the pad distance
8:49
18.5 click on okay now move to the next step which is
8:57
to create this reward wall cut so for this I will on my origin
9:04
plane and I will select this mid plane and click on the sketch and for uh better visibility I
9:11
will switch to the wireframe go to the model Tab and of this origin plane and
9:18
now we will create a half profile and we will
9:25
uh create a Revol cut with respect to this axis so let's
9:31
uh select line tool draw the horizontal
9:37
line and then vertical line you can also use the polyline
9:45
tool it depends upon your
9:56
convenience now let's uh provide this horizontal constraint and now let's give
10:01
the dimensions so this is the diameter 31 so I will select smart
10:08
dimensions and provide this horizontal Dimension 31 /
10:16
2 because this is a radius and uh this point is of
10:24
12.5 and this uh height is of 9 mm
10:30
and from this point to this point is of uh
10:38
16 and uh from XIs to this angle is of uh
10:45
15° and uh from this to this is of
10:55
7.5 and now we we will project this uh top one
11:01
top hge and we will rotate our model select this and this and add a
11:09
coincidence now select the line
11:15
tool and uh give it a horizontal relation and select this point and axis
11:22
and add a coincidence now switch to the right view select a line tool
11:30
and join it and select a dimension tool this to
11:36
this is of uh 11.5 and
11:44
now we will project this
11:50
H switch to the right View and now we will select this point and this
11:58
projected line and add a coincidence constraint so our profile is fully
12:04
constrained we will come out of the
12:10
sketch select the sketch click on the group click on okay now let's uh move to
12:19
the next feature if you rotate it you can see that uh cut has been
12:26
created now we will again on our plane now we will uh create this uh
12:35
feature which is a Revol cut circular profile so this is a type of a drill
12:42
which is a opening in our Revol cut here so we will use the same group features
12:49
to create this profile so we will select this uh this plane and click on the
12:54
sketch and uh from here I will uh switch to the wireframe and uh off my origin
13:01
plane and now I will uh select a line
13:11
tool create a horizontal
13:17
line create a vertical line Let's uh select the polyline
13:25
tool to create our profile
13:38
now let's add the relevant constraint made it
13:44
vertical and let's give the dimensions so from this bottom is to
13:51
axis is of 9 mm if you zoom it we can see here it is
13:56
a 9 mm so this is our bottom ime select a dimension from this to
14:06
this with provide a 9 mm and
14:12
uh now zoom out and here is a diameter of
14:17
2.5 so we will give the radius 2.5 /
14:23
2 and uh let's you
14:29
approximate distance of uh 8 mm from the
14:35
axis and now we will give the angle so here is
14:41
the angle is of uh 118 so we will uh give this 118 /
14:51
2 now we will Zoom our drawing so here is
14:57
a diameter 2.5 and this diameter is of 5.7 so we will select this and
15:05
this and give it uh 5.7 /
15:11
2 and this diameter is of uh 10 so this
15:17
will be the five and now here is a it is given the
15:25
16 mm so we will
15:32
uh project this age and let's see so we get a point
15:42
here so we will select this and uh this let's add a vertical relation or we
15:49
wanted to remove the material so this is not that much important so we will do here the 16 mm
15:57
Dimension from this point to this point so let's
16:03
uh give it uh 16 mm and
16:09
now if you see here here we have the ages and let's
16:17
apply the specific vertical constraint okay so it is got applied and I'm sure
16:23
about that material will be get removed here and now this Dam Dieter is of
16:30
5.7 so now let's uh fix this distance so here is of 2 mm so let's give the 2 mm
16:41
so our profile is fully constrained and uh we will switch to the flat lines we
16:47
have provided the vertical constraint here if material not perfectly removed
16:53
then we will move this outside because we wanted to remove the material
17:00
here so let's see uh how it is look like
17:06
after the group so select the sketch click on the groove and from here I will uh select
17:14
reference and from here I will switch to the wireframe and I will select this line as
17:21
my reference and now switch to the flat lines and let's see
17:29
so that is okay
17:34
now we will mirror this same features on the other side so we will select the
17:41
groove and click on the mirror and from here I will select
17:47
reference and I will select this exit plane and click on
17:52
okay so you can see that uh it is got perfectly mirror on the other side
17:59
press zero for isometric now in a next feature we will
18:04
create this counter board holes so this counter board holds three on
18:11
this side and three on the other side so I will select the phas and click on the
18:18
sketch and now I will first create a
18:24
PCD so for the PCD we can see here it is of
18:33
47.5 so I will select the circle create a
18:38
circle and make it construction select diameter and
18:46
provide
18:52
47.5 uh sorry this PCD is not 47
19:09
now we will create this counter board holes so for this counter board holes we will select this phase and click on the
19:17
sketch and there are the six counter board holes three on this side and three
19:22
on the other sides so first we will create a PCD diameter of 59 so we will
19:28
SA select the circle and create a circle and make it
19:34
construction and from here we will select diameter and provide it a 59 and
19:42
here we will create a circle we will select this
19:48
uh axis and our construction Circle add a coincidence
19:53
relation and select a diameter of uh 5
19:59
.5 now I will close it and here we can
20:04
see this counter board holes detail which is of 5.5 so we will select the sketch and
20:11
click on this whole feature and our through hole is of 5.5
20:19
diameter and from here we will say it through allall and here we will select the counter board and the counter board
20:26
is of a d 9 so we will provide here the value 9 mm and its uh depth is of 5.5
20:37
mm so you can see that uh counter board holy has been
20:43
created now we will uh polar pattern it we will select our holes and click on
20:49
the Polar pattern and from here we want quantity six which will be
20:57
equally space and you can see that uh freead automatically took this J axis to Polar
21:05
pattern my counter board holes now let's uh move to the next
21:11
feature which is to creat this doel hole whose detail is uh given here which is
21:20
of two holes of Dia 5 and having the depth of a
21:26
7.5 so we will select the phase and click on the sketch and now we will project The Arc
21:34
click on the project geometry uh select this and this and uh
21:39
select a circle create two circles and uh press the control key and
21:47
make these two equal and now provide the diameter which
21:53
is of a 5 mm
21:59
now we will create this hole so we will select the sketch and click on the whole
22:05
Wizard and here our Dia is of 5
22:10
mm depth depth is of
22:18
7.5 and uh click on okay now to check it switch to the front
22:25
view and switch to the wireframe so we can see that
22:31
our drill hole is created now we will
22:37
switch to the flat lines and now we will move towards to
22:43
the creation of a new feature which is if you zoom out we can
22:49
see here there are the two holes of di 2.5 on this phase so we will select this
22:58
phase and uh click on the sketch and we will rotate our
23:06
model we will create a two circle on the axis select the
23:14
circle create one here one here and uh click on symmetricity select this point
23:22
this point and this axis and uh distance between these two
23:28
holes is off a 46 so select this and
23:33
this WR the 46 and select the diameter tool and uh
23:39
provide the diameter of uh 2.5 select this and this and uh made it
23:47
equal click on okay and now we will
23:53
uh select the whole features
24:00
and whole is of 2.5 depth we will provide approximate
24:06
11.5 so that it open in this counter board sections click on okay now to
24:15
check it we will switch to the right View and from here we will switch to the
24:21
wireframe so we can see that our drill is opening in this counter board
24:29
now let's switch to the flat lines now here is the four fillets which
24:37
we can see and we will provide the four fillets to our corner of our radius 4 mm
24:43
which we can see here now click on the
24:49
fillet and select this age this
24:56
age this age
25:01
this Ag and provide the value of
25:06
R4 click on okay
25:12
now we will press our model to the isometric and we will give the approximate color as per our isometric
25:20
view so we will go to the apperences go to the custom appearances and uh let Let's uh select a
25:32
color let's apply close
25:38
it so this is how we have a created a 3D model with respect to our
25:47
isometric view now our next task is to create a 2d drawing of our parts so we
25:54
will first uh save our part say save it as
26:01
a R1 say
26:07
okay now we will uh switch to the tech draw workbench and we will rotate our
26:17
model and here we will select insert the page
26:23
template and here I will use the A3 landscape animal press enter so sheet
26:31
has been inserted so this is our base view so I have put my model in this
26:39
position and now I will uh click on my last features
26:45
and click on here insert view so my base view is inserted here
26:52
now I will rotate it
27:02
in this direction okay so this is our base View
27:08
and there are the two sections here is a scale type I will keep the
27:14
page and say [Applause]
27:19
okay and here I will rebuild it
27:26
now I will go to the scale sections and scal is to the
27:35
1.5 and refresh
27:41
it so you can see that size has been changed now we will give the dimensions
27:50
in our top view so here is a frame is on we can
27:56
easily off and on the frame so once you on the frame you will
28:02
see the C points so let's give the dimensions so first thing which I will
28:07
do is to in enter the center lines so I will select this and this
28:14
lines and go here and add a center line between two
28:22
lines so you can see that Center Line has been inserted similarly here
28:38
now we will select this Cod point and uh this Cod point and add a vertical
28:45
dimension of a 15 mm and from this Center to this Center
28:52
is of 35 so select this and this and from here select a vertical dimension of
29:00
a 35 and this radius is of a
29:08
5.5 select uh radius and this is of a
29:15
5.5 and here is a PCD of uh 59 so we
29:20
will select this and this and from here we will select the vertical dimensions
29:29
and move this 59 and we will add uh text of a
29:37
PCD and we will add a prefix here of a
29:43
diameter so Dia 59 PCD
29:54
now here it is of uh diameter 47.5 so we
30:00
will select it we can give the radius as well as diameter but I will prefer to
30:05
give the radius so here is a radius Dimension and here is a radius of
30:13
R4 so here I will prefer to keep my precisions to
30:18
the round figure uh to one
30:25
figure now here is a radi I of 4 mm so I will select this radius and
30:33
uh select the radius Dimension and add a 4
30:39
mm now I will come out of the frame so here
30:46
are the center marks which I will insert so I will select
30:53
this this this
31:01
all the diameters and uh click on insert the
31:07
center marks similarly we will select this and enter the center
31:15
marks enter the center marks and this
31:25
two insert the center marks now this is our top view whose Dimension
31:32
we have given and now here is a diameter 31 which we have
31:39
not given so we will select it and select the diameter and uh give it
31:49
31 and now we will create a section
31:55
AA so we will on the frame select this
32:00
View and uh click on the sections and here we will select this
32:07
options and give our identification label
32:12
a and if we scroll down we will see here live update check
32:19
it so you can see that it is a
32:26
perfect and we will will click on the okay now we will uh move
32:35
it now we will uh Zoom to the section AA and we will give the
32:43
dimensions so first thing which we will do is to insert a center line so select
32:50
this and this
32:58
select this one and this one and add the center
33:04
lines click on okay select this and
33:12
this and add a center
33:17
lines select this and this and add a center line
33:28
now let's uh start giving the dimensions so first we will give this major
33:33
diameter select this point and this
33:39
point and select the horizontal
33:46
Dimension and we will add a prefix diameter and we will move
33:55
it now select this and this and provide the horizontal
34:01
dimension of 31 and uh I will add the diameter
34:09
perix and now I will select this point and this
34:14
point and I add a dimension of a
34:19
20.5 and here I will insert the center line select this and this and add a
34:27
Center Line click on okay now here is a 9 mm
34:32
Dimension so we will select this and this and add a dimension of uh 9
34:39
mm and let's add the overall height which is of
34:47
39 and let's add this diameter select this and uh
34:54
this 23 now we will add a diameter
35:00
prefix and we will enter the center line of this hole and provide the pitch of a
35:06
46 mm so select this and this line and uh add a center line
35:16
between two line similarly here select this and
35:24
this and add a center line between two lines click on
35:31
okay now we'll select this and this and uh
35:37
from here we will select the horizontal dimension of
35:42
46 and uh select this and this provide
35:47
this diameter
35:53
15 and here we will add a prefix diameter and now here is of
36:01
uh diameter 2.5 so select this and this
36:07
and add a dimension of a 2.5 and we will insert the diameter it
36:14
is a two quantity so we will go in a note and provide the
36:23
2X and now we will move towards the counter board
36:28
so from this point to this point it is of uh 10 mm which is of a
36:36
diameter so we will add a prefix select this 10 mm and Add a
36:43
prefix and here is offer 2 mm so we will select this point and this point and add
36:50
a horizontal
36:55
Dimension now from this point to this point is of 16
37:02
mm so select it and provide a horizontal dimension of
37:09
16 and here is of a drill size of a 2.5 so we will select this cot point and
37:15
this Cod point and add a vertical Dimension and we will add a prefix of a
37:26
diameter now now let's create one more section view
37:32
which is off a section BB now we can easily off the frame and
37:40
see our uh drawing so if you see we have given all the dimensions of the section
37:47
AA and top view now we will create this section BB so for this V again on the
37:53
frame and we will uh select our base View and go go to the sections options
37:59
click on the section View and this time we will select this option for the
38:04
section and we will give the our identification label
38:09
B and from here we will select on the live
38:15
updates so our section is uh perfect with respect to our section
38:23
view so first we will say
38:28
okay now we will uh rotate our
38:35
sections so we will move our view and here is a rotation angle okay so it is
38:43
let's give the
38:51
360 okay so now it is a perfect with respect to our section BB and now we we
38:57
will uh give the dimensions so here it is a height we
39:05
will give the 9 mm so we will select this Cod point and this Cod point and
39:11
add a vertical dimension of 9
39:16
mm and we will select this point and this point add add a horizontal
39:24
Dimensions so it is a 25 but it should be
39:30
diameter so we will add the diameter prefix you do not worry about this Frame
39:36
because once we off it it will be get height the frame or our Dimension will
39:42
be visible but for convenience I move my Dimensions now
39:47
here is angle is of a 30° so I will select uh this line and this line
39:58
and give the angle of a 30 and here is a dimension 16 is
40:06
given here you can provide a fillet which I have forgot now I will select
40:12
this point and this point and give it a 16 mm now here is a
40:19
dimension 18.5 is given
40:25
18.5 and here is a drill so first I will insert a center
40:37
line now select uh this and this add a center
40:45
line and now select this Cod point and this cord point and add a horizontal
40:51
dimension of uh five and it is a diameter so insert a DI met prefix and
40:59
it is at two locations so we will give here quantity
41:08
2X and uh drill depth is of a 7.5 so I will select this Cod point and
41:15
this Cod point and provide a vertical dimension of
41:22
7.5 now we will provide this counter board
41:28
details so first we will insert a center line for our counter bols so we will
41:35
select these two lines and add a center line between two
41:43
lines and I will select this cord point and add a horizontal
41:52
Dimension 5.5 but it is a diameter and quantity is six so we will
41:59
mention the
42:04
6X and select this cord point and this cord point and add a horizontal
42:12
dimension of 9 mm select the diameter
42:17
depth of this counter board is of
42:24
5.5 and total height is of 9
42:38
mm so here you can see that we have given all
42:44
essential dimension of uh section BB you can add some additional Dimension if you
42:50
want and you can add a gdnt to this drawing and uh and then this drawing
42:58
will be ready for the manufacturing now we will zoom out our drawing and we
43:05
will place this isometric view so to place the isometric view we will switch to our uh model isometric View and here
43:15
we will set our view to the fit all and here we will click on the snapshot
43:23
View and here crop image and no background click on
43:31
okay and here is our isometric view is inserted but one thing you can see that
43:37
this boundary is too much large so here we
43:43
will set the values let's set 80 by 80
43:49
how it is look like okay it's look like okay now I will
43:57
scale it to the 1.3 and here I increase the image height
44:03
to the 90 to the
44:11
90 okay so now I will place my isometric view here and I move
44:21
my view and let's move this top view
44:35
and I will move it so that both the view should be
44:43
aligned and let's
45:00
yes so once you set your view best practice is to lock its
45:07
position so lock symbol is inserted and similarly we will do for
45:13
the section BB place it locked
45:20
so off the frame and now
45:29
we will uh do some minor aestic point of
45:34
view changes in our model like uh here is a center line is not given so we will
45:40
select this and this and uh add a center
45:47
line and click on
45:53
okay similarly we will insert one more Center Line
46:02
here click on okay and we can also use the angular
46:09
line to create our Center Line add a Center Line click on
46:17
okay now we will also insert the center line for this cter Bo holes
46:27
select the center
46:33
lines so if you see our uh drawing it is a matching with our autographic view and
46:43
now I will move my isometric View and let's uh scale it to the
46:50
1.5 and increase image height to
46:55
100 by 00 and let's see so here I will uh
47:04
height I will set 11 0 and let's set this also 11
47:12
0 now I will off the frame so so this is how we have
47:18
successfully created a model as well as a 2d drawing of this part and in this
47:25
tutorial we have learned how we can create a 2d drawing in a free cat and if
47:33
you appli the gdn and some Minor Details like materials so we can release this
47:39
drawing for the Productions so this is the very good example of modeling and drafting in
47:46
freeat so this is all about this tutorial thank you for watching thank you for your valuable
