360 LIVE: Creating In-Context Designs (multi-part series)

[@millstenor]

Absolutely the best F-360 tutorial I've ever viewed! I'm checking out each and every of Brad's contributions.

[@adskFusion]

Brad has quickly established himself as a master in Fusion 360 tutorials! Glad you agree!

[@tristanpatterson3843]

I hope you can all see how easy the metric system is after watching this brilliant series of videos from this guy.

[@CraigHollabaugh]

I agree with millstenor, this tutorial is the best Fusion 360 tutorial. The amount of tips is so numerous that I have to watch it again as a refresher while I write down/try some of them. Thanks, looking for forward to the rest of this multi-part series.

[@adskFusion]

Thank you so much, Craig! Once again Brads amazing work is helping tons of people!

[@ridni2388]

You are simply the best Fusion 360 teacher I've found. Period. Ok, Lars is also very, very, very good... But you are even more clear! Kudos to you! I've learned so much!

[@sidgates]

I appreciate going at a pace that is easy to follow.

[@kenmechtel3508]

I'm a First Robotics Mentor and these video are fantastic!!!!

[@Andyman9279]

You are a very good teacher Brad, Thanks

[@adskFusion]

We agree!

[@jacquesblais2379]

Wow!! This is one of the best tutorial videos on KZbin. Good job 😉

[@sebastianmichalski5318]

Superb video. Thank you so much.

[@BlackSmokeDMax]

I love clicking the face to set the holes going through to them. Wouldn't it be much better if you were using the "to" for the extent rather than "distance" while doing so? If using distance and you change the width of the area the holes are going through, they won't continue to go through without editing them. If you use the "to" setting and select that face the hole will always go all the way through that face without messing with it anymore.

[@magicatti2008]

I agree. Brads method is only for a temporarly mesherment and so a fixed dimension.

[@bradtallis8968]

BlackSmokeDMax- Yes, you are correct. I need to get better at using the "to" option. I come from a "Direct Modeling" background where you just click on faces, edges, etc.

[@pedramsamieyan7836]

Thanks for the nice lecture. you explain the tips gently so it is understandable and followable by trainees. Please keep your method.

[@G53X0Y0Z0]

As another method where you split the base boss into 2 ears (after the 60 min mark) you could have re-used the same sketch profile from the 59:46 mark and created an extrude-cut. Would have saved a sketch, not a big deal I know, but thought I would present the option.

[@adskFusion]

Great point! Saving a sketch here and there can result in some major time savings down the line!

[@bradtallis8968]

Good point! Minimizing steps in the timeline is always a good idea. Thank you for sharing.

[@KalebQi]

1:00:00 is there a reason you chose to extrude symmetrically all the way through, then cut away the excess you created, instead of using the START feature to start at the frame and create mass (of the correct 0.5 width) towards the center of the base? Then you wouldn't have to cut anything away because it would already be the correct size?

[@blackredroll]

Yes, I noticed the same, that would be another great tip

[@adskFusion]

I'd like to see if Brad has a reply to this. We shall see....it could be on purpose, or maybe a simple oversight.

[@bradtallis8968]

@Kaleb Israel- You are absolutely correct. The part could totally have been designed that way. In Part 2 of this series, I show how to use the Start and Offset option in extrude to do exactly what you explained. In the example I showed, I look at designing the part like how a machinist would machine the part. He would have a large chunk of material and then "cut" away the center area. Many different ways to get to the same solution, but yours would be the simplest and easier on the timeline. Thanks for sharing!

[@KalebQi]

@@bradtallis8968 Okay great! I'm only barely one year in so I've got much to learn! Just always trying to make sure I'm efficient where I can be. Thank you. Keep up the great work!

[@hervemarie966]

I would like to make a constructive comment, but your videos are so instructive on their own that I do not see what to complain about! I always learn a lot with you, a lot of useful tricks, a very didactic approach, your words are always useful and precise. You are one of the best teachers for me! Thank you very much and I'm already in a hurry to see your next video :-)

[@adskFusion]

Thanks again Herve MARIE!!!!

[@montebrown8398]

Outstanding!!! It’s amazing how many new tips I get from these! Keep up the great work!

[@adskFusion]

Great to see you again Monte!

[@mixedreality7699]

Thanks great revision for me and a good exercise to work from an existing design. New stuff learned: trim and extend and offset in sketching and handy reminder that mirror can apply to features in the timeline. Also didn't know fractions were possible (very useful for old designs) and that dotting the lines would reduce the regions. The tip on using axis to create a plain was handy too and I'd forgot about box select for fillets. Didn't know radius was an option for circles either : ) Also wow, grouping - didn't know about that one! Looking forward to the next part!

[@adskFusion]

Thats a lot of new knowledge. Kudos to Brad! This may be his best yet.

[@jutto64]

Thanks Brad and Jamie; finesse in-context :)

[@spikekent]

Yet another great tutorial Brad. I'm a bit behind in watch this one, I like to make sure I have the time and peace and quiet to take in everything you do. Keep up the great work mate 👍

[@steevesmith1573]

Why the loft comand in Inventor can't be so simple as in fusion? Istead of peaking an area (fusion) i had to erase all the projected lines from the skech and isolate the eclipses to get it done.

[@sajis79]

Thanks for this video. Very clear explanation and modelling flow.

[@adskFusion]

Brad's the best! Thanks Saji for the kind words!

[@technikrosa]

Thank you very much Brad! You are awesome! Thank you Autodesk command also!

[@robertgaut2567]

I wish I had this tutorial when I first got Fusion 360. I've been doing things not necessarily wrong but definitely doing them difficultly. I have a lot of bad habits to break. I can't wait to jump in and use all these tips. Thank you so much for doing this series.

[@adskFusion]

Glad the series helped! I think everyone wishes they knew all of this earlier in their Fusion career!

[@kke]

Excellent tips, learned a lot.

[@michaelschweizer2115]

Very good explained. Many Thanks

[@DocMicha]

Nice video, good tips even for more experienced users. Thank You!

[@ron.owensby]

I think all of these live streams hit all levels of experience (some of course more to us beginners and some more advanced. I especially like the way Brad shows more than one way to accomplish the same task. He doesn't just show what he did he explains why he does it. That said I like them all.

[@silenthunter9239]

Thanks you very much! Fantastic as simple if you know!!!🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@neilgower2558]

Always good to learn something new Keep it coming

[@adskFusion]

Learn something new every day!

[@arnoldthepotter]

Thanks Brad, I'll be looking for your next one for part II.

[@adskFusion]

We look forward to bringing you that soon!

[@edizonay]

I am not a mechanical engineer (i am a civil engi.) but everytime i model something i am trying to include some clearance between surfaces. Shouldn't there be a clearance value for the bottom part on this model also? Will it work perfectly if you produce it like this? Like when the pin is installed and everything is together (irl) friction between the faces of bottom and top components let it rotate? thanks for your answer in advence.

[@adskFusion]

Oh most definitely clearance and tolerance would need to be addressed at some point in the process. We'd be insane to think parts produced would fit perfect or allow the motion they're designed to produce. Excellent point. I think during the design process it can be easy to overlook this very important fact.

[@edizonay]

Thanks for your reply. I have almost watched all of your videos in the past month. You are a really good instructor to follow. Looking forward for more content from you. Have a great day!

[@tarekmustafa2525]

I love this tutorial, very well done!

[@adskFusion]

Thanks much Tarek!

[@ozanyigit9820]

Thank you so much for the tutorial

[@joseluisgonzalez2736]

agradezco tu tiempo... muy bueno

[@adskFusion]

¡Gracias por mirar y participar!

[@Stoneylloyd]

Me too, it explained and demonstrated so many features in one place. A very good tutorial 👍

[@adskFusion]

Thanks Lloyd!

[@rjlatheart]

Good Job Brad, this is a great one once again. Lookin' forward to the next part …. THANKS FOR DOIN' THIS!

[@adskFusion]

Thanks for the nice feedback, Rich!

[@peter.stimpel]

Now imagine...we see Brad finishing the CAD stuff for another 2 videos, and Angelo is bringing this into real hardware at Pier 9. Seriously, well done, again. But somehow I start to doubt the CAD stuff is true unless you prove me wrong, at Pier 9 ;)

[@adskFusion]

Didn't we already do that?!?! haha Did you see the bottle opener series?

[@peter.stimpel]

@@adskFusion Of course. I like sequels

[@Redostrike]

Really love how everything is showed and done. Knew a lot already but i might be starting to use the hole command more now instead of creating sketches and dimensions.

[@adskFusion]

That's the beauty of watching someone else design in Fusion 360! You can always pick up a thing or two even if its not on the subject.

[@RusakovLA]

8 minutes in and I learned something new - vertical restriction to pair of points. I used to make construction line across.

[@adskFusion]

Sometimes we overlook these things that have become second nature. Props to Brad for explaining in such great detail!

[@martinclayton5897]

You are the best thank you for another excellent video I can away follow yours

[@adskFusion]

Many thanks! Catch part 2 this Thursday live!

[@tomscietvirs2379]

Hello Why do I have a browser listing at all skeches showing the key symbol

[@adskFusion]

That might be part of the new UI you're seeing. Not exactly sure, can you send an image via hyperlink?

[@adskFusion]

If you mean they have a "lock" symbol on them, it means that your sketch is fully defined.

[@kP-bb3zl]

how can i change the screen background to white? its grey now and i m having hard time with it

Let me know if that helps!

[@kP-bb3zl]

@@adskFusiondone!! thank you and content of the tutorials are excellent ,making it easier for new comers.appreciate it

[@joeboccuzzi675]

Just curious, how were the drawings made? I'm designing a thing and a drawing like that would be very helpful to show others.

[@Graham_Wideman]

7:20 and following: "Over exaggerate". That phrase is itself an exaggeration. So the actual base amount of exaggeration must be _less_ than a typical exaggeration. :-)

[@adskFusion]

But is it vertexes or vertices?!?! Kidding, but we appreciate any and all feedback, even of the grammatical kind.

[@seunghoonoh6842]

Thank you a lot !!

[@adskFusion]

Thanks for watching!

[@technikrosa]

The length of the bracket isn't correct. It is 3in between circles, not the full size of the bracket.

[@adskFusion]

This could very well be the case! Mistakes happen...and especially so during live events.

[@technikrosa]

@@adskFusion Brad is awesome, the best for my opinion. I want more and more video with Brad.

[@luisfaria1689]

Thank you

[@americorosales2085]

thanks Brad

[@JayRussellDuramax]

In this video, I noticed that Brad is experiencing an issue that I posted on the Autodesk forum: The Browser triangles disappearing when the mouse is over them. Please, Autodesk, address this issue! It still happens, and it still requires at least a re-boot of Fusion - if not the whole computer! I LOVE your software; it's great! However, this issue makes it very annoying to use sometimes.

[@adskFusion]

Great observation...and we know these things can be annoying because we experience them right along with ya. Hope its fixed soon!

[@CockatoobirdmanBill]

Best demo to date ever now some things make more sense 100 more hours i may be able to draw a line Lol thanks for all the tips Be well and be safe

[@adskFusion]

He just keeps getting better!
