If you'd like to contribute with writing wiki documentation and tutorials, see the general wiki guidelines in WikiPages, and read the tutorial guidelines.

Please notice the version of FreeCAD used in the tutorial as some tutorials may use an old version of the program. Although the general modelling process may still work, some tools may have changed.

Modeliranje dijelova

FreeCAD provides two main workflows to modeling parts:

• combining objects, a method called Constructive solid geometry (CSG) using the Part Workbench, and
• using parametric modelling and feature editing with the PartDesign Workbench.

Please note that the PartDesign Workbench workflow was considerably changed from FreeCAD 0.17 onward; some of the tutorials haven't been updated and may refer to the 0.16 version.
