FreeCad Tutorial : Bracket Modeling. Concept, model and drawing. Avoid topological error. Use Sketch

In this video I am going to walk you through on how to model a bracket from conceptual stage to finish. You start with Technical Drawing and plan the model building. Planning involves, identifying a starting point and what tools in freecad (sketch , pad & mirror) to utilize to complete the model efficiently.

Typically you start with most predominant /complex feature &

select the type of workbench ...

Master sketch location ...

Simplification ...

Along this process you want to avoid any chance of topological errors that could creep into your model.

While this video is compact... but full of details on model planning and execution.
