Further reading
This has only scratched the surface of what FreeCAD is capable of and how you could use it. I recommend reading further about its use at the following sources:
- FreeCAD [How-To], by Daniel Falck and Brad Collette, published by Packt Publishing—Solid modeling with the power of Python. This tours the workbenches, multiple modeling techniques, and using Python to work in FreeCAD.
- The FreeCAD forums at https://forum.freecadweb.org/ have a Help on using FreeCAD topic, which is a great place to ask questions when having FreeCAD issues.
- FreeCAD also has a wiki, with an excellent page on the Sketcher workbench at https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Sketcher_Workbench, and a Getting started topic at https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Getting_started.
