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!

Description

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

Usage

  1. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Subtractive Cylinder button. Note: the Subtractive Cylinder is part of an icon menu labelled Subtractive Primitive. After launching FreeCAD, the Subtractive Box is the one displayed in the toolbar. To get to the Cylinder, click on the down arrow besides the visible icon and select Subtractive cylinder in the menu.
    • Select the Part Design → Subtractive Primitive → Subtractive Cylinder option from the menu.
  2. The task panel opens.
  3. Set the parameters. introduced in 1.2: If the Show interactive draggers when editing features preference is selected (default), some parameters can be adjusted with interactive gizmos in the 3D View.
  4. Optionally set the Attachment.
  5. Click OK.
  6. A Cylinder feature appears under the active Body.

Options

It is possible to create skewed cylinders by specifying angles in respect to the normal vector of the chosen attachment.

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

  • Double-clicking it in the Tree View, or by right-clicking and selecting Edit Primitive in the context menu; this brings up the task panel and (introduced in 1.2) the interactive gizmos (if enabled).
  • Via the Property View.

Properties

  • DataAttachment: defines the attachment mode as well as the Attachment Offset. See Part EditAttachment.
  • DataLabel: label given to the Cylinder object. Change to suit your needs.
  • DataRadius: the radius value of the cylinder.
  • DataAngle: angle of rotation of the cross section (360 degrees forms a full cylinder).
  • DataHeight: the height of the cylinder along its axis.
  • DataFirst Angle: angle in first direction.
  • DataSecond Angle: angle in second direction.
