Today I will start a basic tutorial on FreeCAD, the most comprehensive free open source CAD program on the market.
It is similar to most CAD programs; all you need to start is in the tool menu.
The BLUE circle is where most projects start. Select a set of tools from the drop down menu. You should see a different sets of tools appear in the BLACK circle. The squares in the RED circle represent different views; the one without any shading it the standard isometric view.

Select the DRAFT tool to begin drawing.
**I've noticed that starting from the "part" tool allows for faster, but less custom design.**

Once you have a closed shape, go to the isometric or "axometric" view
After use of the "Part" and "Part Design" tool sets, I managed to make a simple structure like this.
