Oh they do, but only Part Time workers.

I vote for the next game, black is sacked because of this. Or we can sacrifice him to the centaurs for it.

I am not 100% sure.

The Acer appears to be from 2007

The Dell 2007

The Asus around 2015

🍿🥤oh this is going to be good

This was a limitation of Fusion 360. You’d click on the face you’d want to turn 3D. If you drag and select everything would be included. But if your sketch has construction geometry (which didn’t exist in fusion) you could get voids.

Also all lines were white in fusion… I’m starting to get the impression Fusion isn’t a good product

The bunny 20-30 minutes since I don't use Eclipses too much, and how to do Eclipse arcs to make a solid outline. I'd say if I was more familiar it should take less time. Since this Bunny looks way rougher than I intended too, but it was a proof of concept.

The interception geometry issue was the biggest learning hurdle for FreeCAD for myself. However since moving I've grown to prefer it since it avoid voids being created by tiny intersections which are difficult to see. For example for the skatch bellow, if you are not careful you may miss the middle and create a random hole in your model. Had this on many of my earliest designs and spent a lot of time trying to fix it since the software wouldn't render out the shape right.

I also I love how FreeCAD changes the color of a sketch's lines green and a brighter green when everything is contained. I see it like a game and it forces me to think about how the shape should be rather than what's close enough to what I need.

That said, while I was like you and worked with a single sketch and padded, pushes and constrained my way to make the model I needed. FreeCAD does like you import existing geometry into a design. In the current BETA they are allowing that geometry to even be constructor geometry to make modeling easier. So you can continue to base your current sketch upon the previous one, and it'll update as you move along.

While it's not in a single sketch, I found doing it this way makes it much easier for myself to maintain a model and go back into it to fix parts of it when needed.

I also know FreeCAD isn't for everyone, and there are hurdles to move to it. But I personally found it works with my workflow, and not being tied to yearly licenses is a relief for me.

I use freecad for mainly functional 3D Prints, many of which I sell on Etsy and eBay. You can see my designs here: https://www.printables.com/@16bitvirtual/models

As for how to do yourbunny. For the most part, you are falling into the biggest hurdle for FreeCAD. FreeCAD has constructing geometry which cannot interfere with the model. But it also means that if you aren't very specific with your design it will fail. For example with the Bunny you need to define in your sketch what you'd like to pad or pocket out.

Then you work on adding details

The constructor lines are why I love FreeCAD since in other software I had to be very specific on what I can add without voids being accidentally added into my model.

Fusion 360 and before that Google Sketchup

There’s a few thing ecosia still gets wrong or offers the wrong answer. But 80% of the time it is correct.

Using it on all my devices.

I agree with this, outside of bs windows throws if you change the motherboard. Desktop Linux stability reminds me of Windows 7 levels of OS stability. Great for most, not for mission critical.

With that said i feel you are being overtly critical to FOSS CAD software. I use FreeCAD in a professional setting and it is extremely stable, and for my use case it is as capable with no missing features. Yes the software isn’t beginner friendly, but I honestly found it made my designs more accurate since it had more constraints for sketches.

Underneath they are similar, however I was in the same boat as you. Lutris first however after installing a few apps I moved towards heroic.

Heroic is easier to manage your library requires less tinkering and as a benefit for steam deck owners, has controller support in the gui by default and native integration with epic games store.

Lutris works better for non platform games, like old PC games from CDs or EA App.

How I’ve been moving my games over is rebuying games I would be gutted to loose like Fallout 3, and Doom 2016. Then waiting on sales for the rest. Also Amazon Prime has free gog games so you maybe able to get a handful of games every month to move over

Heroic Launcher and GOG is your friend. DRM free ftw.

But seriously Steam Family sharing is the way to go here.
