![]() Not an encouraging start, but at least the basic building blocks were there. The resulting code had objects for wing, fuselage, and tail, but that’s about all that could be said because the result was almost - but not quite - completely unlike a plane. ![]() After that basic workflow was shown to work, asked it to create a simple airplane shape. The first step was getting ChatGPT to create code for a 10 mm cube, and plug that in FreeCAD to see the results. The result is just a basic plane shape, and it certainly took a lot of guidance on ’s part to make it happen, but it’s not bad for a tool that can’t see what it is doing. While using it, discovered that one way to create models in FreeCAD is with Python scripting, and ChatGPT could be encouraged to create a 3D model of a plane in FreeCAD by expressing the model as a script. As for mechanical drawings themselves, we’ve seen FreeCAD can be used to make those, too.Ĭontinue reading “How To Model A Twisted Part In FreeCAD” → Posted in how-to Tagged cad, curves, design, freecad, TwistĬhatGPT is an AI large language model (LLM) which specializes in conversation. The video below is also pretty good overall demonstration of what designing a part from a mechanical drawing looks like when done in FreeCAD. This twisted bracket is a simple part that is nevertheless nontrivial from a CAD perspective, and that makes it a good candidate for showing off the different workbenches and tools. In that spirit, created a video demonstrating how to model a twisted part in FreeCAD, showing the entire workflow of creating the part as a blend of surfaces and curves that get turned into a solid.įreeCAD is organized using the concept of multiple “workbenches” which are each optimized for different tools and operations, and walks through doing the same jobs in a few different ways. Quick references are handy, but sometimes it’s nice to have a process demonstrated from beginning to end.
