Holy shit where do they find the dumbasses who write these columns?

I’m coming to the view that the Online Right is going wrong, eschewing compassion or charm, talking itself into corners of angry irrelevance.

Better late than never I suppose.

The transformation of a tangible ecological crisis into a culture-war abstraction can be pinned on the Left. They framed it as a divine chastisement; they wallowed in its penance, imposing arbitrary deadlines and contrary measures that, in an act of pure self-flagellation, took nuclear off the table.

Oh, so it's those darn woke LEFTIST LIBRULS who are actually to blame.

I stopped reading the column here so I couldn't tell you if it gets even stupider.

Nothing really, they can eat it just fine. Bread is just poor in certain micronutrients that birds need, so if their diet is mostly bread (which is common for pond ducks) they can get a nutrient deficiency that may cause a condition called angel wing (the exact cause is apparently unknown).

They're not attacking billionaire yachts though, instead it's small sailing boats. Some of those are probably owned by fairly rich people, but probably not that rich.

For just the top-down view I don't think you should have any trouble with just the regular sketcher with splines and/or arcs. Sounds like you're mostly having trouble measuring the part rather than actually sketching it?

If top-down is the only plane you care about then you could try tracing the outline of the part on a sheet of paper and scanning that in using a normal document scanner, or even just scanning the part directly if it fits in the scanner. You can then bring that scan into FreeCAD and use it as a reference and it'll already be at the correct scale.

For making the sketch, make sure you make use of the fact that the part is symmetric and you only have to sketch half of it.

Can't say for sure based on a single top down view, but I imagine you want the Curves workbench from the addons manager.

Here's a good tutorial video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czp8IPH72-I

edit: Measuring a part like that will always be tricky though. For best results I imagine you'd want a high detail 3D scan or scale photos from various angles taken with a telecentric lens (or a high focal length lens from far away), so you could bring in some to-scale reference geometry to sketch against. Failing that you will probably just have to eyeball it.
