1:44
lot so once you buy my course you will

1:50
here is the my course complete free
1:54
course from zero to expert go inside and
1:58
uh the sections i have shown you on my
2:03
kofi shop page so exactly same lectures
2:08
under the section is created for example
2:12
section one is a introductions to
2:14
freecad 1.0 and what is new in a freead
2:18
1.0 so if you go to the section one so
2:22

2:42

2:45
a time once the new feature receives
2:48

2:51
you have the lifetime access to the
2:54
course and in the case of any doubt any
2:57
query you can mail me at
3:02
adminxus.com you can find my course link
3:05
on my youtube channel you can see the
3:08
course link and uh you can also find my
3:11
kofi course page link on uh pin comments
3:16
and video descriptions and here i will
3:19
on my origin plane and i will uh select
3:22
this exit plane and click on the sketch
3:25
and now i will go to the model tab and
3:28
hide this origin plane now here i will
3:30
uh simple create a rectangle
3:35
and let's uh give the
3:39
dimensions so i will make it a square by
3:44
giving the 200 horizontal dimensions and
3:48
uh 200 vertical dimensions now here you
3:52
can do also one thing you can uh make
3:55
this line and this line horizontal and
3:58
vertical with a equal constraint now to
4:02
understand the trim option which is the
4:05
first options and its shortcut is a g
4:08
comma t and after that we will also
4:10
learn the split and extend so i will
4:14
select a polyline tool and i will create
4:17
a
4:18
zigzag profile inside of this
4:22
uh 200 by 200
4:25
square and let's make
4:29
it overlap the sketch one by
4:45
one so this is a very zigzag
4:48
profile and let's use the trim edge so
4:53
once you click on the tree image you can
4:55
see that uh on my mouse pointer trim age
4:59
icon tool is active and now i will uh
5:03
click on the age which i wanted to trim
5:05
so if you see here if i select this age
5:08
two points in a green get highlighted
5:10
which means that once you click it this
5:13
will be get trimmed so here you can see
5:15
that this got trimmed and
5:18
uh select this one and trim it this one
5:23
this
5:24
one this one so you want to trim the
5:27
multiple edges so here a power trim
5:32
option is also available so all you have
5:35
to click on the trim age and press the
5:38
control key and uh move your mouse
5:42
pointer so as you move your mouse
5:44
pointer so you can see that uh it
5:47
automatically trimming it
5:49
so this is the new feature which is
5:51
added in 1.0 so you can see that instead
5:55
of selecting one by
5:57
line i can save my lots of time with
6:00
this power
6:02
trim so if you have a use
6:07
the solid works then uh this option is
6:10
also available in that uh
6:13
software known as a power trim but uh
6:16
this is a very cool feature of uh trim
6:21
options so here everything is got trims
6:25
now we will now understand the split
6:31
option in a frecad sketcher
6:34
workbench so here we will take the same
6:37
option of 200 and by 200 square so i
6:41
wanted to split this edge and uh so that
6:45
i can give the 100 mm dimension so here
6:49
click on the split edge and i wanted to
6:53
split this vertical edge click on it so
6:55
you can see that a point is created and
6:58
now you can see that uh this point is
7:02
unconstrained and this line was a fully
7:05
constrained because it was a single
7:07
entity but now i split it so it need a
7:10
dimensions so this is the 200 so
7:14
midpoint will be the 100 so here i will
7:18
select
7:19
uh dimension and provide the 100 now i
7:24
wanted to split this horizontal
7:26
edge so i will uh select the option of a
7:33
split edge and uh you can also use this
7:36
shortcut g comm z and here i will split
7:41
it so where you
7:43
click split is created for example if i
7:46
click here so split is get created but
7:52
now if you see that uh it shows in a
7:55
green color so you just drag this
7:59
point anywhere so you will see that it
8:01
is unconstrained and
8:04
now here i will again select the
8:07
horizontal
8:09
dimension and uh give it a 100 so this
8:13
is the very simple example i have took
8:16
and i have split the age now let's uh
8:21
understand the third options which is
8:24
extend age so for the extendage we will
8:28
uh draw the two
8:31
line one will pass through this point
8:35
and let's select
8:37
uh same point of split and create this
8:41
and now i wanted to extend this
8:45
line to this vertical line and this line
8:49
to this horizontal line so here is
8:52
option of extendage and shortcut is a g
8:56
comma q select on it and now click on
8:59
the this vertical line and drag the
9:03
mouse so you can see that once you click
9:05
on the line it detected that you wanted
9:08
to extend this line and now where i
9:11
wanted to extend is to this horizontal
9:13
line so click on it so you can see that
9:15
uh it it got extended and coincidence
9:20
constraint is also got added now select
9:23
this line and extend to this so here is
9:27
some conflict so go here so here is a
9:31
redundant constraint 19 scroll down and
9:35
make it a deactive so you can see that
9:39
uh in this tutorial we have learned the
9:41
trim split edges and extend edges so
9:45
this is the very cool feature of a free
9:48
cat especially with a trim tool where
9:51
you can press control key and drag your
9:54
mouse and you can trim the multiple
9:57
entities at a time so this is all about
10:00
this tutorial how to trim split and
10:04
extend edges in a free sketcher
