Newbie here. FreeCAD is v1.1.1

Is there really no way to do simple manual vertices manipulation?

Coming from Wings3D. Found the Fase feature (PartDesign_Chamfer) which is a good start for my usual extrude/bevel workflow but I can not for my life find out how to manually select and move vertexes manually / individually.

I learned about converting a part into a mesh but even here I seem to not have the option to move vertices around freely?

Do I really have to go down to a 2D drawing first and work from there?

    You can select a face and make changes to it like a sketch. So push pull twist, or if you select a vertices you can chamfer or filet.

    Think this is the part I’m missing - as in I didn’t find the option yet. For this particular case I want to increase the height of the selected part face.

    Thanks for the detailed explanation!

      It’s located in the part design workbench, I can remember if you can make a cube first the edit it in a part design. But my workflow in CAD is.

      Sketch > Part Design > Sketch > Part Design …

      In the Part Design work bench you will find additive features (extrude or revolution) as well as Subtractive tools (Pocket or Groove)
