Looking for super simple, super relaxed tutorials. Help?

Hi there,

I am looking for some super simple, super relaxed tutorials with easy to follow steps and examples. Can anyone recommend something that a beginner's beginner can follow?

Thank you!

    @S1mon Thank you for replying! The Learning Center has a lot of information .. almost too much. I had a hard time sifting through everything and gave up. It seems like the material there assumes users have some 3D CAD experience already and they know what they want. What they don't know is where to click to get what they want. Me? I'm several levels of sophistication below that. 😏 When I search for "beginner" I get 8 videos that looked fairly advanced.

    @EvanReese Also, thank you for replying! I found Too Tall Toby's playlist for Onshape. It has 99 videos! 😯 I will try them tonight and see how well I can follow along.

    Thank you!

    If you haven't used Onshape's AI advisor directly in the tool to ask that kind of question, it can be a good way to navigate through all of the available learnings because it provides sources for its reasoning. It doesn't yet search the user forums here, but you can use your LLM of choice to do that as well. Try asking both. The AI advisor seems to be better at some things because it has a curated dataset, and some of the open models seem to be better at other things because it has the whole world to pull information from.
