Donation Sponsor

$5 $10 $25 $100 $200 Other

If you are not sure or not able to commit to a regular donation, but still want to help the project, you can do a one-time donation, of any amount.

Choose freely the amount you wish to donate one time only.

We call sponsoring the act of donating money recurrently to the FreeCAD project. You can do that as an individual or as a company or institution, through different channels or platforms, depending on your preferences.

Sponsoring FreeCAD allows its developers to count on a steady flow of income, so it allows the FPA to plan things ahead, and the FreeCAD developers to invest themselves more seriously into FreeCAD.

To encourage persons and companies to sponsor the FreeCAD project, we have created different sponsoring tiers. When donating regularly to the project, unless you prefer to stay anonymous, your name, company name and/or logo will be featured on this website, depending on the tier you fit into:

♥ Normal sponsor : from 1 USD / 1 EUR per month. You will not have your name displayed here, but you will have helped the project a lot anyway. Together, normal sponsors maintain the project on its feet as much as the bigger sponsors.
🥉 Bronze sponsor : from 25 USD / 25 EUR per month. Your name or company name is displayed on this page.
🥈 Silver sponsor : from 100 USD / 100 EUR per month. Your name or company name is displayed on this page, with a link to your website, and a one-line description text.
🥇 Gold sponsor : from 200 USD / 200 EUR per month. Your name or company name and logo displayed on this page, with a link to your website and a custom description text. Companies that have helped FreeCAD early on also appear under Gold sponsors.

Instead of donating each month, you might find it more comfortable to make a one-time donation that, when divided by twelve, would give you right to enter a sponsoring tier. Don't hesitate to do so!

Choose freely the amount you wish to donate each month.

Please inform your forum name or twitter handle as a notein your transfer, or reach to us, so we can give you proper credits!

Feature

Introduction

In FreeCAD the word \"Feature\" is normally used to refer to a PartDesign Feature object (PartDesign::Feature class) that is defined by the PartDesign Workbench. This is an operation or modelling step performed to create or modify a solid Shape following the feature editing paradigm.

See PartDesign Feature for more information about this type of object.

Usage

Switch to the PartDesign Workbench.
Press [ PartDesign Body.
Press [ PartDesign NewSketch to create a new Sketch.
Create a closed wire, and then use [ PartDesign Pad to extrude the sketch, and create an initial solid. This initial solid is the initial Feature.
Add more sketches and pads, and use other tools of the PartDesign Workbench to modify and transform the initial solid. Each of these steps correspond to Features of the Body.
Alternatively, add primitive objects, like [ PartDesign Additive box and [ PartDesign Subtractive cylinder. Any number of additive and subtractive steps are Features that are used to create a final volume.

Notes

In the general sense, a \"Feature\" can be any modelling step used to create a final Shape, with any tool of any workbench.

For example, in the Part Workbench, in the constructive solid geometry workflow, a \"Feature\" could be any boolean operation, like [ Part Fuse, [ Part Cut, or [ Part Common.

In a more specific sense, a \"Feature\" is a modelling step used inside a PartDesign Body.

For example, [ PartDesign Additive cylinder, [ PartDesign Additive loft, [ PartDesign Pocket, [ PartDesign Subtractive cone, etc., are all \"Features\".
