FreeCAD learning path
FreeCAD is a free, open-source parametric 3D CAD application with constrained 2D sketching and technical drawing tools. In AEC, its dedicated BIM workbench supports building-element modeling, while other workbenches help develop custom components and drawings. It offers a practical introduction to editable geometry, dimensions and model-based design.
Learn editable modelling through small, measurable exercises. Start with Lesson 1, then continue to Lesson 2 using a copy of your saved project.
