Working Plane Setup in FreeCAD Draft Explained

The video provides a comprehensive overview of working plane setup in FreeCAD Draft workbench. It is also applicable in the BIM workbench. When modeling 3D objects, it is very important to understand how work planes work. Practical demonstrations show how to change working planes and how to rotate or move them. The tutorial also shows how to align work plane to a face or selected vertices. It also shows how to move working plane so that it is centered on a vertex. Saving work planes using the Draft_WorkingPlaneProxy tool is also explained.
