Este tutorial apresenta ao novo usuário algumas das ferramentas e técnicas usadas na bancada Part Design. Este tutorial não é um guia completo e abrangente para a bancada Part Design e muitas das ferramentas e recursos não são abordados. Este tutorial guiará o usuário pelas etapas necessárias para modelar a peça mostrada na imagem abaixo usando esboços.
Aqui um vídeo de toda a construção: https://youtu.be/geIrH1cOCzc
(cada seção tem seu próprio vídeo abaixo)
Neste tutorial você usará a bancada Part Design para criar um modelo sólido 3D da peça mostrada no Desenho abaixo. Todas as dimensões necessárias para completar esta tarefa são dadas. Você começará criando uma forma central a partir de um esboço básico e, em seguida, construirá nessa forma, adicionando o que é conhecido como recursos. Esses recursos adicionarão ou removerão material do sólido por meio do uso de esboços adicionais e operações de recurso que os acompanham. Este tutorial não usará todos os recursos e ferramentas disponíveis na bancada Part Design, mas deve usar o suficiente para fornecer ao usuário deste tutorial uma base básica sobre a qual construir seus conhecimentos e habilidades.
Primeiro comece certificando-se de que você está na bancada Part Design. Uma vez lá, você deverá criar um novo documento, caso ainda não o tenha feito. É um bom hábito salvar seu trabalho com frequência, portanto, antes de mais nada, salve o novo documento, dando-lhe o nome que desejar.
Todo trabalho em Part Design começa com um Body (corpo). Em seguida, construiremos o sólido dentro do corpo começando com um Sketch (esboço).
Observação: é possível que o botão OK não esteja visível se o painel lateral não for largo o suficiente. Você pode aumentá-lo arrastando sua borda direita. Coloque o ponteiro do mouse sobre a borda; quando o ponteiro mudar para uma seta de duas direções, pressione e segure o botão esquerdo do mouse e arraste.
Depois de clicar em OK, o FreeCAD muda automaticamente para a bancada Sketcher e abre o esboço no modo de edição:
Em seguida, use a ferramenta Polyline e fazça uma forma mais ou menos como a da próxima imagem. Não precisa ser perfeito, pois a forma final é alcançada com restrições. Depois de ter a forma básica, começaremos a aplicar as restrições. Se as "Restrições automáticas" estavam ativadas, algumas dessas restrições foram aplicadas automaticamente, caso contrário, faça os próximos procedimentos, mas primeiro certifique-se de ter saído da ferramenta Polyline clicando com o botão direito do mouse ou pressionando ESC duas vezes. O cursor do mouse deve voltar de uma cruz para o cursor de seta padrão. Não pressione ESC uma terceira vez ou você sairá do modo de edição. Se isso acontecer, clique na aba Modelo e, em seguida, clique duas vezes no elemento Sketch na árvore ou clique nele com o botão direito do mouse e selecione Editar esboço no menu de contexto. Para evitar sair do modo de edição ao pressionar Esc com muita frequência, altere a preferência Esc pode sair do modo de edição de esboço (introduced in version 0.19), consulte Preferências Sketcher.
NOTE: Since this tutorial was written there have been improvements to the sketcher solver, if it detects a redundant constraint it will turn the sketch orange in colour, and before further constraints are added, the redundant constraint should be removed. (The redundant constraint is shown in the Task view, click on the blue reference and press delete.)
At this point you should have a fully constrained sketch as indicated by it changing color and the message shown in the Combo View. It should now look just like the image below.
Now in the Tasks tab, click on the Close button to leave the sketch edit mode and select Pad from the toolbar or from the Part Design menu. This will give you a Pad dialog in the Task View. Using that dialog, first using the Type pulldown menu, select Two dimensions. Drawing presented at the beginning of this tutorial says the part is 53 mm long. We do it by Padding our sketch both ways from the center plane to make up that distance i.e. make the pad symmetric in relation of sketch-plane. The reason for is seen later when creating features. For now, given we want it to be 53 mm long in total we will input 26.5 for Length, and 26.5 again for the Second length. Alternatively, you can provide a single length of 53 mm and click the Symmetric to plane check box. Once that is done we now have our base solid upon which we will add additional features to construct our part.

Using the mouse or the view icons turn the model around so you can see its back. Once the back of the part is visible, select the back face by clicking on it as seen in the next image.
After the face is selected, click on the New sketch icon in the toolbar or from the Part Design menu and that will map our next sketch to the back face of the part. Now select Rectangle tool and place a rectangle on the rear face of the part in a similar fashion as shown below. Now following the steps listed, constrain the sketch.
Once that is done, click the Close button at the top of the Tasks tab in the Combo View window, then select Pocket tool from the toolbar or Part Design menu. Using this tool is the opposite of the Pad tool. As the Pad tool adds material to the part, the Pocket tool removes material from the part. Both operations are called features. In this Pocket operation we want to select Through all from the type pulldown-menu and then click the OK button.
For the next operation, make sure that “Pocket” is selected in the Model tree view and once done, click on the Mirror feature on the toolbar or from the Part Design menu. In the Mirror dialog in the Combo View, select Horizontal sketch axis from the Plane pulldown menu. Then click OK. The Mirror feature works in this way because the base feature of our model was Padded both ways from the horizontal plane in the first operation with the base sketch. If all has gone well, you should now have a part that looks like the image below after you orbit it around to the front.

After taking a look, orbit back around and once again select the back face of the part and select that face to map the next sketch to.
Select New sketch and make a new rectangle in the manner similar to what is shown below in the next image. Then proceed to add dimensional constraints to the rectangle.
Now selecting the upper left vertex of the rectangle and the external geometry point, click on the coincident constraint to fully constrain the sketch.
Close the Sketcher.
Next we will click on the Pad feature and in the Pad dialog in the Combo View we want a length of 26 mm leaving the type as Dimension and then placing a check on the Reversed checkbox. Using the Reversed checkbox will cause the Pad to go into the part instead of away from the part. This operation provides with the following result.
Once again use the Mirror feature to get the second pad. First ensure that created Pad is selected in the tree view, then click on Mirror in the toolbar or select it from the Part Design menu. We will repeat the operation we did for Pocket above and select Horizontal sketch axis from the Plane pulldown menu.

At this point orbiting the part around to the front, we can see that our part is now starting to look like the part in the dimensioned drawing at the beginning of this tutorial. Once you have the view of the front, click on the sloped face with your mouse to select the face we will use for the next sketch.
Here we will use the Rectangle tool and place a rectangle in our sketch and once having done so, apply the following constraints.
Now using the dimensions from the drawing, apply the following constraints.
The result should be as follows.
At this point if we were to simply Pocket this sketch, the resulting hole would be perpendicular to the sloped face that it is mapped to, and this is not what we want.
We want the hole to be perpendicular to the back face, but it's projected dimensions are not the 17 mm x 17 mm dimensions that are given in the drawing. Now we could do the math and calculate the dimensions needed, or we can use the tools provided in FreeCAD to make that projection for us.

To create pocket which has the sloped rectangle as it´s outlet, we draw a new rectangle on the rear side, using the projection of the sloped rectangle as an external reference. Orbit the Solid around to see the rear face of the part once again and select the back face to map the final sketch to.
Select New Sketch from the toolbar or Part Design menu. Now in sketch edit mode, we do not see the sketched rectangle on the slope. To make it selectable , we switch the combo view to model tab and select the last sketch made (Sketch003) on the sloped plane. Then using the spacebar, make it visible. Next, select the mirror feature above (mirrored001) and again using the spacebar, hide it. Then you should see the sloped rectangle inside the 3D View. You may continue to work with the model tab visible, or switch back to tasks tab. Using the
External geometry tool, select the upper and lower horizontal edges of the sloped rectangle. Then, add a new rectangle to the sketch using the
Rectangle tool.
And we should end up with this.
For the final step in this tutorial, close the sketcher window using close or finish editing from the context menu of sketch004 and then select the Pocket feature from the toolbar or from the Part Design menu. From the Type pulldown select Through all and click the OK button.
At this point, you will see some lines which come from intersecting features. In this case the side block intersects with the base profile letting it appear as a triangular block above the profile (i.e., there is an extra line visible in the above picture on the right face of the model). To remove these lines, you can either switch on "refine shape" in your Part Design Settings or, to save some processing speed and still have these lines while constructing, individually switch it on at each feature. The Setting on feature level can be done in the "data" tab of the feature. Set the refine property to TRUE for the pocket feature Pocket001 to invoke refining.
