Documentation
# 3D Parametric CAD
Native FreeCAD inside a streamed KasmVNC desktop.
## Version
Debian Bookworm `freecad` **0.20.2** (upstream is 1.0.x — not yet in Debian stable). The 0.20 release is feature-complete for sketches, parts, assemblies, drawings, and FEM (CalculiX bundled).
## First launch
The Start page asks you to pick a workbench (Part Design / Architecture / Draft / etc). Settings persist under `/config/.config/FreeCAD/`.
## Storage
`/config` is the in-session user's home — .FCStd files anywhere under it persist. 10 GB volume default — bump for STEP-heavy assemblies.
