For example, if you're making a table, you draw the four legs with one sketch, the pieces between the legs on a plane near the top of the legs, and one final extrusion for the top. It's not true assembly but it's the fastest, most predictable, easiest method. The least complex method is "modeling in place" which is a way to manage the placement of multiple bodies or parts of a body. This is what I consider to be the "most official" way to get into assembly, as the dev is incredibly capable and works patiently with the mainline devs to improve FreeCAD as a whole.Īnyway, some ways of thinking of assembly: That fork also introduces QOL improvements and fixes the topological naming problem. I recommend using assembl圓/linkstage3, one of the most powerful and actively updated assembly workbenches for FreeCAD. It is, though the definition of assembly is sort of variable. I would have thought assembly would be an important part of a CAD program.
