Re: Designer chair modelling

I am not big fan of bending, fillets and similar operations because they are hard to handle later if you want to get dimensions. But the model looks awesome to me, very realistic, the texture is also fitted very well. For sure this is some kind of level that FreeCAD users would like to have. Thanks...

Designer chair modelling

I used to use Blender but was struggling because it is not meant for precision modelling. Like many I used the tutorials of a guy calling himself Blender Guru. One of his tutorials is about modelling a classic chair design, the Søborg Chair, see https://www.fredericia.com/products/s%c3%b8borg-wood-b...

How to extrude curved surface, merge with flat surface and extrude to create 1 solid

I'm having some difficulties creating a solid from 2 surfaces. One solid is on a flat surface and can simply be created by extrusion. The other is on a curved surface and I cannot figure out how to extrude this. Also, ideally, first the 2 surfaces should be merged so that the extrusion will apply to...

When the external FreeCAD building component is modified the object within the FreeCAD file that contains the external FreeCAD component is not updated. I h...
