For your tip about figuring out where a profile is broken, another method is to offset the line (using chain selection) and just drag it out. The opening will become very apparent.

signed up for daily tips! excited to have daily reminders on how to improve my Fusion skills

Hello, i will really appreciate if you can help me on the project i am working on. Its a small problem that i can’t figure out. I will really appreciate it

The video is too short.

I need Assistance, I have A relam Blower meant to clean of train tracks of snow. But I'm currently trying to animate the arms by using joints and no matter how hard I try to get them to function they just won't. I'm trying to impress my boss especially our other cnc machinist is leaving soon and ill be the only one left. Im fresh out of highschool and need some help so please help me if you can

how do u unjoin things

we often skip things like this when we are in a creative frenzy we are in a hurry to see some shapes on the screen I'm learning now that everything matters if you want a good desighn thats easy to work with further down the track

This really helped me begin to understand constrains, thanks for shining a light in this dark area for me. Very good video.

Time saver: It can't be done.

When inserting a component from another design as a new component you can only move the component one time. After it has been fixed in the design it can no longer be moved. So you have to design all components from scratch and not insert from existing design. At least in the free version.

Nice list of tips! def going to put some of these to use.

You Should include how in when you extrude or any fusion option where you have to make a selection you can click the selection again to remove it. This is really helpful when you have a large group of things selected and only want to remove one thing.

I was a Solidworks Structural designer that did Hovercrafts and boats for the Navy. First thing i lectured with parametric 3d modeling is Design intent. Before you start making parts figure out what might change down the line. I know you can't plan for every change but you can build parts based off if certain holes or shafts etc.. and that way if you ever run into changes down the line in real life you can modify a few dimensions that updates most of the model without redoing the entire thing just because they moved a shaft over 5 cm or needs a thicker Pad Eye Lifting Point

Very nice! But at t=1:54 in the movie you choose to create a second pentagon that has twice the base as the initial - you did not explain why you chose that value. Any other value would not work, as there is some math hidden behind that choice. I challenge you to construct the football based on constrains alone, without using any trigonomie. Are you up to it?

how do i extrude something from the side ?

thanku so fkn much bro

Thank you so much for this. Your tutorials are very good. Autodesk should put you on payroll.

My vote is for old CATIA, before version 5 turned it into a byzantine quagmire. In my opinion, it was the last of the CAD/CAM packages that could be self taught. It was elegant, simple, straight forward, and yet very powerful. Too many of the packages these days try to make up for a lack of working knowledge in analytic geometry and math, and try to replace them with a plethora of gimmicky pop-up windows.

what if the faces are not on aligned to a plane, is there a way to align view/plane to a surface and select faces that cleanly as in video?

now make a tutorial of how to search in Fusion 360

thanks man

Very helpful video, thanks for sharing!

Is there a way to select all objects/bodies of the same type, lets say you had hundreds of cases like the ones in the video, how could one select all of them at once? Or select all instances or similar objects/bodies?

thanks you, excellent video

Tyler, At 3:38, you say: "... and then you want to connect the sketch geometry to the origin and fully define it which makes it easier to edit in the future." Wouldn't it be best to start at the origin.....rather than connecting to the origin at the end almost as an afterthought?

Ahh... In my case the option "Component Drag" in Select section was unmarked. Thanks. Now i know.

I'll be damned :D

CTRL-V literaly does not exist. How the fuck are you pasteing anything?

love it! "When you turn to the right you're more conservative. When you turn to the left you're more liberal."

This is easily one of the best videos I've come across, as someone getting up-to-speed with fusion from solidworks and freecad background. Great pace and coverage. Thanks!

Thanks. I was forever trying to figure this out. Not obvious that you would move things with the align command and rotate them with the move command. Still learning.

Two ideas to improve your vids: hide your Windows taskbar so we don't see it popping up all the time (that's distracting); and make sure that your mouse is being captured on the video, since I have no idea what you dragged to make that joint rotate, nor where you're pointing when you say "this object".

You have used the terms "rigid joint" and "rigid group" synonymously but they are two different things. A rigid group holds two or more components and they don't even need to touch. A joint always connects two components and is meant to have the components snap together. An As-Built joint is the exception where they don't need to touch, but it is still only between two components.

I can't believe it was so many years before this tip started showing up. I wish it was hold down shift or control in stead of double click. That seams more controllable to me.

Double click to select a chain of entities in Fusion 360.

When I saw this a week ago, I ordered a couple Tecknet mice. Got them in, they're great! Thanks for this tip.

I don't understand how something as basic as TInkerCad has such a common sense feature, but fusion360 we have to create sketches rather than have a default setting in the grid settings.

When you're selecting edges on a 3D object, how do you prevent Fusion from allowing you to select edges that you can't see? As a basic example, if I'm looking inside a box that I want to select all the internal corners to fillet, Fusion also allows external corners to get selected without them being visible (selected them through the object, if that makes sense). I've tried googling this in an attempt to find the correct setting, but I feel like I'm googling the wrong terminology.

Thank you, it's the little things that help.

I appreciate that you included the concept to print for us to see. Most content seems to skip over some of the "minor" relevant issues we may encounter such as how to export a mesh, printer settings and clearance considerations. I know it takes more of your time, but I really enjoy watching the entire process. Thanks!!

thank you!!

I have a file on my desktop called "That hard to remember Fusion command to show unconstrained items.txt" Lol. It contains this: Sketch.ShowUnderconstrained Copy that into the text command box and hit enter...sometimes that's a lifesaver. :)

Tyler, I have a question about rectangular patterns, specifically centering them. I understand the extent and spacing options, but it doesn’t address centering the pattern (margins around the edges). In the example above, would you choose the length and width dimensions to center the holes? That would give you a margin equal to the spacing between the hole centers, but what if you wanted a larger or smaller margins ? Am I over thinking this? Thanks for sharing all your thoughts

Great tip, look forward to knowing how to use it in the future!

Hello, Why not use the scaling option in the printer slicer? In the slicer we can see the current size and we can set the desired size without having to do any calculations. Thanks

Does this work with the Gridfinity add-on in fusion it does not come in at the right size?

Very helpful thanks

No joke i had the exact problem 30 minutes ago. Thank you so much!

Thanks that was helpful. Is there a decent way to convert complex 3d piping (chairs) back to 3d centerlines? Had this question a lot here and didn't find a proper workflow yet. Cheers from germany and keep up the great work🎉
