FreeCAD Assembly 3 - How to Make Assemblies and Avoid Errors (Multiple Methods) |JOKO ENGINEERING|

In this video we cover how to make an assembly with external files, how to make an assembly with bodies internal to a single file, and how to avoid "Inconsistent Constraints" errors.

I have an open invitation for all to edit/add detail to the engine that has been started if anyone is looking to practice working with the A3 workbench. Feel free to edit/re-upload this (shoutouts welcome!) and we will see what a community can do with a vague engine model.

In addition to what is discussed in the video, inconsistent constraints may also appear if the constraints added are physically impossible to exist.
