Please note which version of FreeCAD is used in the tutorial. Some tutorials may use an old version. Although the general modelling process may still work, some tools may have changed.

Modeling Parts
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.
