From FreeCAD Documentation
  • Create a new document, and switch to the BIM Workbench.
  • Open menu Edit → Preferences → Draft → Grid and Snapping and set:
    • Main lines every 10.
    • Grid spacing 1000mm to have a one meter-based grid, which is convenient for the size of our building.
    • Grid size 100 lines.
  • On the snapping toolbar make sure the Snap grid button is enabled, so we can use the grid as much as possible.
  • If you do not see the axes then click the Toggle grid button.
  • Set the Working Plane to XY plane
  • Draw four lines with the Draft Line tool. You can enter coordinates manually, or simply pick the points on the grid with the mouse. We will be using meters for our dimensions:
    • From point (0,0) to point (0,3)
    • From point (0,3) to point (4,3)
    • From point (4,3) to point (4,0)
    • From point (4,0) to point (0,0)
