LibreCad is a Computer Automated Design program. LibreCad has an interface that will look familiar to AutoCAD users, and by default it uses the AutoCAD DXF format for importing and saving, though it can use other formats as well. LibreCad is 2D only, though, so it makes more sense if your intended use is a site plan or something similarly, err, flat. Go ahead and start up LibreCad and take a look at what you see on the screen. Notice across the top there are words that you click on for pull down menus. Go ahead now and click on each word to see the menus. Don’t select anything from the menus as of yet, we will examine some of the selections in as we work through the manual. Notice Icons below the words. Put your cursor over each Icon without clicking and the program will show you what the Icon does. You will also notice Icons on the left side. Move your cursor over these Icons also and you will note information on these as well. The top 7 are drawing Icons, the next 2 draw text and dimensions, The next Icon on the left draws cross hatch and the one next to it is snapshot which is non-functional in this version, The last 4 open different menus and functions.
Notice at the bottom of the screen you will see the command line. You can actually draw in LibreCad using commands that you type into this area. We will use this in a later lesson - to get you familiar with using the command line. Sometimes LibreCad waits for special input: you should select an object or set a point. Look in this area, most of the time LibreCad writes down here what it wants. On the 'right-hand' side of the LibreCad window you will notice areas for creating On the 'right-hand' side of the LibreCad window you will notice areas for creating Layers and Blocks. We will use these in later lessons too! The last (main) area we want to look at now is the Drawing area or the Workbench as it is sometimes called. This is where you will do all of your drawing, dimensioning, etc. You can also change the settings of the program and drawings too.

Creating a new project
The first step is creating a new (empty) folder for your new project. Call it quick start-tutorial/ in this tutorial. Then get some sample video clips, or download them from here:kdenlive-tutorial-videos-2011-avi.tar.bz2 (7 MB)[1], and extract them to e.g. a quick start-tutorial/Videos/ subfolder inside the project folder. The image here shows the suggested directory structure: Each project has its own directory, with video files in the Videos subdirectory, audio files in the Audio directory, etc. It comes with a tutorial from now we assume that you use the sample videos provided, but it works with any.
New Project dialog
Open KdenLive and create a new project (File → New).
Choose the previously created project folder (quick start-tutorial/) and select an appropriate project profile. The video files provided above are 720p, 23.98 fps. If you are using your own files and don’t know which one to use, KdenLive will suggest an appropriate one when the first clip is added, so you can leave the field on whatever it is.

FreeCAD is a parametric open source CAD program that was created to be able to design "real-life objects of any size," and although it's clear that many of the showcased examples created by users are smaller objects, there's no specific reason it couldn't be used for architectural applications as well. FreeCAD is written primarily in C++, and if you're a Python coder you'll want to take advantage of the ability to extend and automate FreeCAD using its Python interface.
FreeCAD can import and export from a variety of common formats for 3D objects, and its modular architecture makes it easy to extend the basic functionality with various plugins. The program has many built-in interface options, from a sketcher to renderer to even a robot simulation ability. Currently in beta, FreeCAD is being actively developed with regular releases, but the developers warn that it may not yet be suitable for production use.
