The first video in MangoJelly's FreeCAD 0.20 beginner series, covering setup, preferences and navigating the 3D view. It is the starting point of a step-by-step tutorial playlist for learning the free CAD program.

HN people point newcomers to this playlist as the good learning material FreeCAD has lacked, and say it taught them to model parts such as electronics cases.

“It will change your life.”

Look at MangoJelly's beginner's tutorial playlist, start on first video and follow along: ▶ this video There are definitely problems with FC (but then even expensive CADs have problems). One of the biggest problem I think was lack of good learning material. MangoJelly does an excellent work on that.
