I just watched a tutorial video. Once I figured out how sketching works a lot of other tasks became easier to figure out and intuit.

I do think knowledge is disorganized, said knowledge is out of date and a lot of included legacy workbenches are offered which adds to initial confusion and the errors aren't very helpful.

I use the linktree branch though. Prior to learning freecad I also worked primarily in a codeCAD library in golang which probably helped with understanding basic operations.
