FreeCAD Is Fundamentally Broken! - Now what... Help Me Decide...
So.... FreeCAD is fundamentally broken... Hear me out! I'm not here to complain and moan about it. Free CAD is a very competent parametric modeling program but fundamentally it's not doing what every CAD program says it does on the tin. Now I want to teach FreeCAD but I just don't think it's fair to teach the current learning curve to anyone due to one silly bug... The "Topological Naming Problem". What is the Topological Naming Problem? In this video i'll explain that plus a few of the most popular workarounds and workflows and I'll be asking your help in what direction should I take FreeCAD next on maker tales...
