While Stripe doesn't support monthly donations, you can still become a sponsor! Simply make a one-time donation equivalent to 12 months of support, and you'll gain access to the corresponding sponsoring tier. It's an easy and flexible way to contribute.

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.

You can support FreeCAD by sponsoring it as an individual or organization through various platforms. Sponsorship provides a steady income for developers, allowing the FPA to plan ahead and enabling greater investment in FreeCAD. To encourage sponsorship, we offer different tiers, and unless you choose to remain anonymous, your name or company logo will be featured on our website accordingly.

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.

from 25 USD / 25 EUR per month. Your name or company name is displayed on this page.

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.

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!

PartDesign SubtractiveSphere

Description

Inserts a subtractive sphere in the active Body. Its shape is subtracted from the existing solid.

On the left: active body (A) shown in grey and subtractive sphere (B) shown in transparent red; result on the right.

Usage

  1. Press the '''Subtractive Sphere''' button. Note: the Subtractive Sphere is part of an icon menu labelled Create an additive primitive. After launching FreeCAD, the Subtractive Box is the one displayed in the toolbar. To get the Sphere, click on the down arrow besides the visible icon and select Subtractive Sphere in the menu.
  2. Set the Primitive parameters and Attachment.
  3. Click OK.
  4. A Sphere feature appears under the active Body.

Options

The Sphere can be edited after its creation in two ways:

  • Double-clicking it in the Model tree, or by right-clicking and selecting Edit primitive in the contextual menu; this brings up the Primitive parameters.
  • Via the Property editor.

Properties

  • Attachment: defines the attachment mode as well as the Attachment Offset. See Part EditAttachment.

  • Label: Label given to the Sphere object. Change to suit your needs.

  • Radius: Radius of the sphere.

  • Angle1: (labelled V parameter in the Primitive parameters) lower truncation of the sphere, parallel to the circular cross section (-90 degrees in a full sphere)

  • Angle2: (unlabelled in the Primitive parameters) upper truncation of the sphere, parallel to the circular cross section (90 degrees in a full sphere).

  • Angle3: (labelled U parameter in the Primitive parameters) angle of rotation of the cross section (360 degrees in a full sphere).
