hello friends welcome to Frea tutorial
0:02
and in this tutorial we will model this
0:04
part as you can see that uh I have
0:07
already modeled it and it is a matching
0:10
with our isometric uh view so this part
0:14
is basically a bearing housing which we
0:16
can see that uh and this is the bottom
0:19
portion and these two holes are for the
0:22
mounting and there will be the top one
0:24
as well
0:26
so we will create this part from the
0:29
scratch and uh for this tutorial I'm
0:32
using the frecad version 1.0 so you must
0:35
have at least fread version 1.0 or
0:39
higher so let's uh close this file and
0:43
uh I will create a new file and show you
0:45
from the scratch how you can read the
0:47
dimension and create this model
0:51
if you want to learn free CAD from the
0:54
scratch then you can buy my complete
0:56
free CAD course from zero to expert this
1:00
course also available on Udemy but uh
1:03
problem is that uh UDMI only give me the
1:07
37% of a course selling you can see here
1:11
user had paid $15 but I have only got $5
1:18
so after minus of a taxes I get the
1:22
pennies on each course
1:25
selling if you wanted to see the review
1:28
of my course you can go to the Udemy and
1:31
s search for the free CAD and you will
1:34
see my course complete free CAD course
1:37
from zero to expert and this course is
1:40
took by the more than 2,000 students and
1:44
I have got the rating of a
1:47
4.1 for the demo lectures you can expand
1:51
it and uh see the demo lectures and the
1:55
course structure but I will request you
1:58
if you found my course interesting and
2:02
uh reviews of the other student on Udemy
2:06
then I would request you to buy my
2:10
course from the my coffee shops because
2:15
if you buy from here it will help me a
2:18
lot so once you buy my course you will
2:22
be redirected to the Google drive and
2:24
here is the my course complete free
2:28
course from zero to expert go inside and
2:32
uh the sections I have shown you on my
2:37
Kofi shop page so exactly same lectures
2:42
under the section is created for example
2:46
section one is a introductions to free
2:49
1.0 and what is new in a freecad 1.0 so
2:53
if you go to the section one so there
2:56
are the 18 lectures and if you go inside
3:00
of this sections one you will find the
3:03
18 lecture total and once you go to the
3:06
lecture one you will find a video file
3:10
which you can download to your system
3:13
and you can watch it and this course is
3:17
uh updated on a equal interval of a time
3:20
once the new feature receives came and
3:23

4:12
uh video descriptions so buy my course
4:16
and uh keep supporting my free CAD works
4:19
your small course purchase will uh help
4:23
me to grow this channel and it will also
4:26
motivate me to create more awesome
4:29
content on free cat
4:32
so please check out my course on a free
4:36
CAD from uh 02
4:39
expert and now we will come back to our
4:44
tutorial so here I have created a new
4:47
file and I will insert my body and on
4:50
the origin plane now let's start reading
4:53
our model so if you see our model so
4:57
major portion will come on the right
4:59
plane and we will extrude it to the
5:02
symmetric which we can uh see in a top
5:07
view as well that it is a symmetric one
5:10
feature on left hand side or also on the
5:12
right hand side so we will also use the
5:14
mirror tool
5:17
now let's uh select the right plane and
5:20
click on the
5:22
sketch and off the origin plane and
5:27
here first we will uh create this outer
5:31
boundary so let's uh select a polyline
5:35
tool to draw the continuous profile so
5:38
first we will create a horizontal line
5:41
and
5:43
then create a rough profile and then we
5:46
will provide the relevant
5:49
constraint so this is the rough profile
5:51
and let's start constraining so this
5:54
will be the vertical this will be the
5:58
horizontal and uh this will be the
6:01
vertical and uh this also be the
6:04
vertical so this is the approximate
6:07
profile and
6:09
now we will constrain it and uh our part
6:13
is a symmetric with this axis so we will
6:15
provide a symmetricity constraint
6:19
so choose the symmetricity constraint
6:22
option and uh select this point and this
6:25
point and this axis and here I will
6:28
provide the dimension of 80 mm
6:33
and
6:34
now let's uh provide the 6 mm
6:39
dimension and here we will uh select
6:42
this and this and add equal relation and
6:46
now this point also to be symmetric so
6:51
we will again select symmetricity
6:53
constraint select this
7:01
point and select the
7:03
axis now let's uh provide this 35 mm
7:08
dimension which is the overall height so
7:12
select this
7:13
point this point and uh provide the 35
7:17
mm and let's see what is the unconstrain
7:21
so if we constrain this width which is
7:24
of a 52 mm select a smart dimension and
7:28
provide a
7:31
52 and let's move this 6 mm dimension so
7:36
we have a fully constrained our base
7:38
profile and now come out of the
7:43
sketch press zero and now we will uh
7:47
extrude it to the distance of 20 mm
7:52
which we can see here so select the
7:55
sketch click on the pad provide the 20
7:58
and keep it uh symmetric to the plane
8:01
and say
8:03
okay and now let's see the isometric
8:06
view so we have created the base profile
8:08
now we will
8:10
first finish the material addition
8:13
operation as much as possible so we will
8:16
add the material on left hand side and
8:18
then we will mirror it to the right hand
8:20
side so select the face and click on the
8:23
sketch and now
8:26
here we will press
8:28
zero and now we will rotate our model to
8:31
the top view and here we will switch to
8:35
the wireframe and we will uh project
8:38
this age click on the project geometry
8:42
so age is projected and now I will uh
8:44
select uh threepoint
8:48
arc and uh make this and this
8:53
coincidence and now we will create one
8:57
horizontal
9:01
line and then we will create a two
9:05
vertical
9:06
line select this and
9:09
this select
9:11
this and this and now let's first make
9:16
this line
9:18
vertical and provide the tangency
9:22
constraint same way provide the tangency
9:26
constraint and
9:29
now let's
9:31
uh constrain it with a dimension reading
9:36
so here diameter is given 10 so we will
9:39
select a smart dimension and provide it
9:42
a 5 mm
9:43
radius and uh center to center distance
9:47
is of 66 so from
9:51
origin let's select a dimension select
9:54
this point and our origin point and here
9:58
we will simply 66 /
10:03
2 and now our profile is fully
10:06
constrained now we will uh select the
10:09
sketch click on the pad and add the pad
10:12
of uh 3.5
10:15
mm save okay and now we will mirror this
10:19
on the other side so click on the
10:22
mirror select uh
10:25
reference and uh select this mid plane
10:28
and say
10:30
okay so we have a mirror it on the other
10:33
side and now let's move to the next
10:36
feature next feature is to create this
10:40
cut whose detail we can see in a front
10:43
view so here we will create this profile
10:47
and we will remove the material and then
10:50
we will mirror it on the other side with
10:53
respect to our mid plane
10:56
so here I will select the face and click
11:00
on the
11:01
sketch and here I will again select a
11:04
polyline
11:06
tool let's select a poly line and we
11:09
will create a rough
11:17
profile and
11:19
now let's uh constrain it so from origin
11:24
it is a 4 mm select a smart dimension
11:26
select this and uh this and uh provide
11:30
the 4 mm and now provide the horizontal
11:34
line
11:40
24.5 and uh let's uh provide the angular
11:48
dimension so this is of a
11:51
45 and
11:53
uh this is of a
11:57
45 and now let's uh define the
12:01
height of
12:05
1.5 which is a 1.5 45 on the both the
12:09
side and this is a
12:11
24.5 say close simply select the sketch
12:15
click on the pocket and simply set it
12:19
through wall and now we will mirror this
12:21
on the other side say
12:24
okay now select the pocket and click on
12:27
the
12:28
mirror so you can see that a frecad is
12:31
very smart it automatically to
12:35
the Z axis and
12:38
uh created our mirror
12:43
so let's say
12:45
okay and
12:48
now let's create the next feature so
12:51
next feature is to create a cut of a 40x
12:55
20 rectangle so select the face and
12:57
click on the
13:00
sketch click on the project geometry
13:03
project this age and uh select a
13:06
rectangle tool create a rectangle and
13:09
now mirror it so click on the
13:12
symmetricity select this and this and uh
13:16
say the axis now select the smart
13:19
dimension provide it uh 40 and
13:24
uh vertical is of uh
13:28
two now close it and we will uh remove
13:32
the material
13:36
just simply say it to all and say
13:42
okay so let's save our part we have
13:45
forgot to save
13:49
it i will give the revision
13:53
R1 and now let's move to the next
13:57
feature which is to create a cut of
14:01
diameter 26 so we will select the face
14:04
and click on the sketch and here we will
14:09
uh project this
14:13
age and
14:15
now I will create a
14:17
circle and let's provide the coincidence
14:21
relation by pressing the control key and
14:23
select this point and line and add a
14:25
coincidence same way here say it a
14:29
coincidence and this is R13 so our
14:32
diameter will be the
14:37
26 say
14:39
close now we will create a
14:44
cut simply say it through all say
14:51
okay and now let's uh create a next
14:54
feature so our uh next feature will be a
14:57
revolve
14:59
feature here we will create this profile
15:03
and we will uh revolve around the
15:06
axis so for this we will uh select the
15:10
face and create our
15:13
sketch and now let's uh see the
15:17
orientation of our parts and now we will
15:19
make this top face normal and uh we will
15:22
project this edge click on
15:24
the project edges and let's create a
15:29
rough
15:30
profile select a line tool first create
15:34
a line which will be
15:36
collinear so
15:39
here we will again select a line tool
15:42
and
15:45
uh create a rough profile and we will
15:49
constrain it so this should be the
15:51
horizontal so now we will uh define this
15:57
point from the
16:00
axis to the distance of a 15 mm
16:05
and this point from our
16:09
x-axis is of a
16:13
12.5 so this is the our
16:18
profile if you see it now we will
16:21
revolve it so select the sketch click on
16:25
the
16:27
revolve and now
16:30
here it is created a 360° revolve but we
16:34
do not want 360 we want
16:39
180 now it is going to the top so we
16:43
will click on the reverse so that it
16:46
will get reverse and we have got our
16:49
feature and
16:51
now this feature is the same on the
16:54
other side which we can see in a top
16:56
view as well as in the side view so if
16:59
you see the side view this feature is
17:02
matching now we will mirror it select
17:05
the
17:08
mirror and here select reference and in
17:12
a reference we will define this YZ plane
17:14
as as our reference so you can see that
17:17
feature is created say
17:21
okay now let's move to the next feature
17:26
next feature is to create the
17:28
counterboard holes so we will select
17:32
this bottom face and click on the
17:34
sketch and now we will create a two
17:39
circle one is on the left hand side and
17:42
other is on the right hand side and we
17:44
will use the symmetricity constraint
17:47
select both the points and the axis
17:50
select a smart
17:52
dimension select this and this and uh
17:55
provide the dimension of 40
17:58
mm and now define the diameter
18:05
13 which we can see here diameter 13 say
18:09
okay now I have defined one diameter so
18:12
I will close it and uh made it equal now
18:16
let's create a counterboard holes so
18:18
here we will select our sketch and click
18:23
on the whole wizard tool and in whole
18:26
wizard we will define first our drill
18:29
through drill so here is a diameter 13
18:32
and if you see the top
18:35
view so here is the given two holes of a
18:38
diameter five so here we will define our
18:41
diameter five and uh we will make a true
18:45
all so you can see the true all hole is
18:48
created now we have to define the
18:51
counter board so whole option select
18:53
counter board and here we will define
18:56
the diameter and depth so obvious our
19:00
diameter is of
19:02
13 and uh depth depth is given is a 5 mm
19:07
so create a five so you can see that a
19:10
counterboard hole is created from the
19:12
bottom and it is a opening on the
19:15
top
19:17
now let's switch to the isometric view
19:20
and uh we will create two holes so here
19:24
is a two holes of dia five which is very
19:27
simple to create i can create one hole
19:30
here and then use the mirror tool but I
19:33
will make it in a single sketch so
19:34
select the face and click on the
19:37
sketch and uh click on the project
19:40
geometry project this radius and this
19:43
and uh create a
19:46
circle on both the side and this is of
19:50
diameter
19:52
five provide the 5 mm and now select
19:56
this and this and make it equal and now
20:00
let's use the whole wizard option select
20:03
the
20:04
hole and uh here we will simply define
20:07
the drill drill of 5 mm and uh say it
20:12
through wall and say
20:15
okay so you can see that we have
20:18
successfully model this part from the
20:21
scratch now let's apply the color with
20:24
respect to the our reference model so
20:27
here I will select my body and go to the
20:30
appearances and
20:32
here we will go to the custom
20:35
appearances and go here diffuse color
20:38
and here I will adjust my setting so
20:42
that it this color should match with our
20:45
body so I am taking it
20:48
approximate and move it and close it so
20:52
you can see that more or less the color
20:54
is matching
20:56
and this completes our model so this is
21:01
the very interesting model which is very
21:05
simple as well as to understand
21:08
the major feature of a fread like a
21:11
mirror pocket revolution hole wizard and
21:15
most important how to create the
21:17
counterboard holes so this is all about
21:20
