Added new variables for input field border radius and checkbox/radio button colors, and updated QSS rules to use these variables for consistent widget appearance. Improved styling for checkboxes, radio buttons, and input fields, and fixed menu indicator icons for better theme compatibility. * Checkboxes and radioboxes Rounded off the checkboxes add buttons for radioboxes. * updated icons * Refine toolbar, checkbox, and toolbox styles Updated QToolButton#qt_toolbar_ext_button to use border-image and improved gradient backgrounds. Enhanced checkbox indicator styling for better color consistency and hover/disabled states. Adjusted gradients and background colors for QTabBar, QDockWidget, QHeaderView, and QToolBox elements to improve visual coherence and accessibility. * Refine FreeCAD Dark theme hover and selection colors Updated the FreeCAD Dark theme configuration and stylesheet to introduce new hover and border color tokens, unify hover/selection backgrounds, and replace most uses of @UserHighlight1Color/@UserHighlight2Color with @GeneralBackgroundHoverColor and @GeneralBorderHoverColor. Adjusted color lightening values for better contrast and consistency across UI elements. * Fix QHeaderView gradient direction in stylesheet Corrects the gradient parameters for QHeaderView::section to use y1 and y2, ensuring the background gradient renders as intended. * Update FreeCAD Light theme user tokens Changed MenuBackgroundColor to use @PrimaryColorLighten1 and SketcherUnderConstrainedColor to #000000. Added new tokens GeneralBackgroundHoverColor and GeneralBorderHoverColor for improved UI customization. * Update FreeCAD Dark.cfg * Add padding to QMenuBar items in stylesheet Updated the FreeCAD stylesheet to include specific padding for QMenuBar::item, improving menu item spacing and appearance. * I added the old stylesheets back for fallback I added the old stylesheets back in the case of in forseen issues. * Update Freecad Overlay.qss * Refactor color tokens in Dark and Light theme configs I sorted the tags and linked accent colors * Update QPushButton styles for improved consistency Adjusted padding and min-width for QPushButton elements to enhance visual consistency across dialogs and tables. Updated QTableView QPushButton styles to include hover effects and removed redundant selectors. * Adjust QPushButton vertical padding in stylesheet Reduced the vertical padding of QPushButton from 4px to 3px to refine button appearance and alignment. * Adjust QPushButton styles in dialogs and panels Updated QDialogButtonBox QPushButton to have 3px vertical padding instead of 4px, and removed special styling for QMessageBox buttons. Added a new style for QPushButton inside QFrame panels with 3px padding and no minimum width. * undo some changes * Update grid lines color in FreeCAD Light theme Changed the GeneralGridLinesColor from @PrimaryColorLighten2 to @PrimaryColorDarken4 in the FreeCAD Light theme configuration for improved visual consistency. * Update menu background color in FreeCAD Dark theme Changed the MenuBackgroundColor from @PrimaryColorLighten4 to @PrimaryColorDarken4 in the FreeCAD Dark theme configuration to improve visual consistency. * Update FreeCAD Dark.cfg * Refactor selection background color handling Introduces TextSelectBackgroundColor in both FreeCAD Dark and Light preference packs for more flexible selection styling. Updates stylesheet to use TextSelectBackgroundColor instead of UserHighlight1Color and removes redundant selection-background-color rules for improved consistency and maintainability.

Overview
-
Freedom to build what you want FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D modeler made primarily to design real-life objects of any size. Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your design by going back into your model history to change its parameters.
-
Create 3D from 2D and back FreeCAD lets you to sketch geometry constrained 2D shapes and use them as a base to build other objects. It contains many components to adjust dimensions or extract design details from 3D models to create high quality production-ready drawings.
-
Designed for your needs FreeCAD is designed to fit a wide range of uses including product design, mechanical engineering and architecture, whether you are a hobbyist, programmer, experienced CAD user, student or teacher.
-
Cross platform FreeCAD runs on Windows, macOS and Linux operating systems.
-
Underlying technology
- OpenCASCADE A powerful geometry kernel, the most important component of FreeCAD
- Coin3D library Open Inventor-compliant 3D scene representation model
- Python FreeCAD offers a broad Python API
- Qt Graphical user interface built with Qt
Installing
Precompiled packages for stable releases are available for Windows, macOS and Linux on the Releases page.
On most Linux distributions, FreeCAD is also directly installable from the software center application.
For development releases visit the weekly-builds page.
Other options are described on the wiki Download page.
Compiling
FreeCAD requires several dependencies to correctly compile for development and production builds. The following pages contain updated build instructions for their respective platforms:
