Hello friends welcome to FreeCAT part modeling tutorial 123 and here you can see that I have
0:05
a model this part with respect to the orthographic view I have read the dimension and model this part
0:12
and my part view is matching with isometric view so in this tutorial I will show you from the
0:18
scratch how you can model this part and this part is made with a free cat 1.0 which is a release
0:27
candidate one so install this version with respect to your operating system
0:33
Linux Mac and Windows so I will close this file and create a new file you can
0:42
also visit my website macnexus.com where I write articles and tutorials on
0:48
free CAD you can download my tutorial source file from here tutorial source
0:54
file page and you can also support me by buying a cup of coffee on coffee.com your small support
1:04
will help these channels to grow and it will motivate me to create more awesome content on
1:10
free cad i thanks to all my supporters those who have supported me by buying a cup of coffee
1:18
so keep supporting and it will help me to grow this channel and it will motivate me to create
1:28
more awesome and useful tutorials on free cat so let's come back to our tutorial
1:34
so here i have created a new file first thing which i will do is to insert a body and i will
1:40
press a space bar to on my origin plane and i will select this top plane and click on the sketch
1:46
then I will go to the model tab and hide it origin plane and now here I will
1:53
click on the circle and create a two circle now you can see that free card 1.0
2:01
showing the approximate dimension once I increase or decrease the size of the
2:06
circle so I want inner diameter is of 50 and create one more circle and this is
2:14
of the 60 now i will select a diameter constraint which is a ko is a shortcut so inner one is over
2:25
50 now i will press ko from keyboard and cue the outer diameter
2:35
now i will come out of the sketch and extrude it to the distance of a 30 mm
2:50
now one thing you might have seen that that graphics has been a lot improved in
2:57
a free guide 1.0 and now we will create this base so for this I will select this bottom face
3:15
and click on the sketch and I will switch to the isometric view and click on the project geometry
3:22
and I will project this outer diameter and switch to the top view and from here I will switch to the wireframe
3:34
now you can see that projection age color you can change it with respect to the background to
3:46
do it go to the edit and preferences and go to the here a sketcher and go to the appearances and
3:53
here is a external geometry so here is an external geometry color is this one
3:59
and I will change it to the this color pink and let's say ok so now you can see
4:09
that color has been changed now I will create this profile so first thing which
4:17
will do is to create a circle and provide it diameter 20 and then I will
4:31
create two lines one at the top and other at the bottom and I will switch to
4:38
the bottom view and here I will select the tangent icon and make this tangent
4:46
select this and this make it tangent and this and this tangent now we will use the trim tool
5:00
to trim the unnecessary geometry and now I will provide the dimension which is of a 50 mm so here I want to
5:17
provide a horizontal dimension so shortcut is L so which is of 50 mm and now we will create a three point arc select this point and this
5:35
point and we will select this and this click on equal
5:53
and now our profile is fully constrained press V7 for shaded view and 0 for
6:00
isometric select the sketch click on the pad and create a pad of 12 mm
6:12
click on the pad and from here select reverse direction and provide the 12 mm
6:20
click on ok now we will create this profile so for this we will select the
6:30
bottom face and click on the sketch press 0 for isometric and switch to the top
6:36
view for right orientation and from here switch to the wireframe again click on
6:44
the project geometry so we are not seeing the projected edge so we will
6:49
rotate to the bottom side and we will select the circle create a circle and
6:59
provide the diameter 20 so best thing what I liked about the new update in a sketching in a free CAD RC1 is that they have combined the dimensions here so it that is very useful because it provides us lots of space in
7:23
this area we can add some another tools or micros in this area so this is the first modeling in
7:35
a free CAD RC one so as I make a more and more tutorial then we will get aware
7:41
about what is the new thing in a sketch or what is new in a part modeling and
7:45
in other work benches so now let's constrain this so I will select this
7:51
point and this point and provide the vertical dimension which is a constraint
7:57
is a eye and this is the of a 41 and now I will move this dimension and move this
8:08
and here I will create a two line select a line tool one is here and one is here
8:17
I select it and I stretch it I select it and stretch it now click on the tangency
8:32
select this and this and add a tangent select this and this add tangent similarly this and this select this and this and add a tangent
8:52
now we will use a trim tool to trim the unnecessary geometry select it trim it and also trim it now
9:02
we will select a three-point arc and create an arc and we will select this
9:11
and this made it equal click on close press V7 for shaded view
9:22
switch to the isometric select the sketch click on exclude
9:41
and from here we will select on the reverse and this is of a 6 mm
9:49
click on ok now we will mirror this on the other side so we will select a pad and we will select
10:02
the mirror and from here I will select a reference and I will select this mid-plane click on ok now
10:12
we will not create this pad here so for this I will select the phase and click
10:20
on the sketch I will click on project geometry and project this arc and I will
10:29
switch to the wireframe view and I will again project this diameter
10:37
now I will create a circle equal to our projected arc and now I will create a two vertical line
10:53
and click on the tangency select this and this select this and this and now I
11:03
I will use the trim tool select trim trim this trim this trim this this and
11:14
this and we will create a three-point arc select this and
11:24
now select this and this made it equal so our sketch is fully constrained we will come
11:37
out of it switch to the shaded view so free cat is little bit lagging if I switch to the wire frame and
11:56
go on source to the flat lines sometimes it gets hang no issue now we will create a pad
12:04
of 6 mm select this and create a pad of 6 mm click on ok and now we will mirror
12:13
this pad on the other side so select the pad and click on the mirror and from
12:19
here select reference and select this mid plane click on ok press 0 for
12:27
isometric and now we will create hole so if you see that this all three holes are
12:34
for diameter 10 so we will select this phase and click on the sketch click on
12:42
project geometry and select a circle and create a circle select diameter and
12:52
provide the 10 mm click on close select the sketch click on extrude cut and from
13:01
here say it through all say ok now we will create a two holes of a diatine on
13:07
both the sides so select the face and click on the sketch click on the project
13:15
geometry select a circle create a two circles and provide diameter of a 10 mm
13:34
select this and this and made it equal click on close select the sketch click
13:40
on extrude cut and from here say it through all say ok now press 0 for
13:49
isometric so this is how we have created a model with a free CAD RC1 and this
13:57
was the very simple tutorial design for the beginner user and to get familiar
14:01
with a sketch of RC1 release of a free CAD I will make more videos of a part
14:08
modeling on the new release of a free CAD 1.0 and I will make much more complex
14:15
model in our upcoming tutorials thank you for watching and thank you for your
14:21
valuable time
