Are you familiar with parametric modelling in general / from other software? Fusion360/NX/Onshape/Inventor etc? Cause while there are a bunch of UX issues big and small in FreeCAD, some of the complexity and learning curve does come with the territory.
- rcarmo 3y agoI use Fusion360 (unwillingly) and Shapr3D, plus I learned Solidworks and used a _lot_ of 3D design (mesh) and parametric apps (like OnShape, Solvespace, etc.). It’s not the territory, it’s FreeCAD’s inscrutability by design—even Solvespace has a better workflow.
- declaredapple 3y agoI need to give FreeCAD another try, but last time I tried it I couldn't figure out how to do almost anything. Fusion 360 and solidworks (and I think onshape) all just "made sense". Throw down a sketch, extrude some surfaces, etc. FreeCAD was a struggle for me and I went back to fusion 360 mostly because I was already familiar with it.
