How a tutorial should be, fast, clear and to the point. Good work.

[@adskFusion]

Thanks for the feedback! We'll try to model future tutorials in a similar fashion.

It matters not when the comment was made, just that at the exact moment in time when i saw it that it was indeed retarded. Now if you could kindly fuck off that would be great

This was one of the easiest and most straight forward fusion 360 tutorials I've seen. Thank you!! Your work is easy to follow and you're quick!!

[@EvgenRosta]

When I first started learning Fusion 360 (3 years ago) this was one of the first videos I watched. The year is 2021. I already have my own channel about Fusion 360, but I constantly come across this video in the recommendations.

[@Chad711m]

Mind blown....wish I knew how to do all this like you do. Simply amazing how easy you made this look

[@michlin688]

Practice practice practice

[@MrFrakyfriday]

Please do more! It´s mostly the "simple" or "beginner" Problems like simple surface modelling that everyone else assumes as a basic knowledge and they don't cover it. Thank you for teaching me new stuff!

[@Leadingedgeindustrial]

Taylor, Thanks for the design tips. I haven't been much in the way of a surface modeler even though I've been using CAD for nearly 20 years but this makes it seem so easy. Excellent tutorial and I enjoyed the pace.

[@michealstephenson2716]

Such a great tutorial. I had no idea this sort of tool event existed.

[@eddorsa1]

Great tutorial. Did my own bottle using your instructions. Went very smoothly. Thanks.

[@dadbear5316]

I'm just starting to teach myself fusion 360 and little tutorials like this are really helping me be more comfortable with the different tools and workspaces

[@ZeroPointAlpha]

This was very handy. Thank you, sir. And thank you Autodesk, for increasing the accessibility of such an incredible tool.

[@owensmith8442]

Love this tutorial. So clear, perfect pace

[@astasna]

Hey buddy, Thank alot ! You just thought me everything I know so far about surface modeling in Fusion 360. Smarter every day

[@dsotactical4512]

Thanks. The sculpting environment currently alludes me, thankfully what I need I can make in the modeling environment, which I understand. These tutorials will help greatly!

[@guttsu]

I'm just now learning Fusion 360 after years of ProE/Creo use, and tutorials like these are amazing! Thank you for this, I had no idea how powerful this software can be for this.

[@adskFusion]

We love to hear this! Let us know if you have any questions or experience any issues.

[@edman2740]

Taylor you truly are the best at this, thanks for the tutorial !

[@Stolz3D]

This is awesome stuff! I really love it and it‘s probably the main reason for me for switching to F360. Freeform Modeling has never been easier and more intuitive than that. Thanks guys!

[@andyjoensen4620]

Thanks, I usually only use the modelling tool, but this opens up a whole new world

[@adskFusion]

Glad we were able to show you something new!

[@IanMunsellIanDaBian]

I searched online for this info for a long time. Happy you summarized it here so well!

[@marting4042]

Not only a great tutorial, but a great way to show how quick and efficient Fusion 360 is at creating original models.

[@adskFusion]

Thanks much, Martin!

[@beefknuckles]

This tutorial was PERFECT for showing me the basics at just the right speed. I was about to say "bro you really are a great teacher" then I realized this is the official account! Official accounts NEVER have tutorials this good... amazing job, everyone!

[@JayRussellDuramax]

One suggestion: Having done a lot of surface modeling lately, I think it would be nice to have an expanded dialog box for the Trim tool that works like the Split Face/Body tools. I had a lot of difficulty with the Trim tool because of how it's set up - even to the point where I opted to do multiple Split Face/Body commands combined with Face Delete or Remove.

[@Cmeeee]

Really interesting real world demo, on what would normally be a very complex non-linear creation. Thank you for sharing your experience and a great example.

[@SamBirchenough]

Learned some stuff here, thanks Taylor!!

[@mcramblet]

One of the many reasons why I like Fusion 360, flexibility. If I want to model using surfaces, just like I used to do in Rhino, I can. Fusion 360 is so versatile and powerful, it's a pleasure to work with.

[@zaviorhunt4845]

Michael Cramblet hey lil help here. I need a laptop for my engineering design softwares. I am doin mechanical engineering. I can't spend 2-3k dollars on workstations. Can I run the softwares like Siemens NX ,solidworks, Inventor ,CATIA etc on geforceGTX 1060? Quadros are expensive. Intel i5 7th Gen, 16gb ram, with SSD , and GTX geforce 1060 is all that I can afford.. .

[@josipandresic881]

zavior hunt Yes, you sure can run them. You don't need a workstation to run Solidworks, my 4GB RAM laptop from 2013 with no SSD could run SW 2016. Now I have a 16GB RAM with SSD and 2GB VRAM, but use Fusion and it's good, but sometimes I have problems when there's too much features, due to my hasty way of modelling.

[@zaviorhunt4845]

Josip Andrešić thanks for replying. Humanity still alive.😂. But I want to work on Siemens NX and catia more. Will they run on that hardware??

[@josipandresic881]

zavior hunt I've never used those 2, but I guess you can. The question is at what point of the process or at what feature will it work a bit slower. I can't tell you much, people who use same programs for the same use (I'm a designer, not an engineer) could tell you more.

[@brandonfritz2793]

So incredibly helpful!!! This will definitely help me out a lot, thank you!

[@Remy21289]

Very excited to have come across your content! Surface modeling has intimidated me for far to long, I've made it my goal to watch & follow along with 1 tutorial per day 💪

[@stetbro]

Thanks man! I'm really trying to get into fusion coming from blender, and this procedure was way more on par with the type of modeling I'm used to.

[@adskFusion]

Great to hear! Taylor has some great tutorials!

[@StanleyKubick1]

Just found Fusion through needing to do some CAD design for school, and I am in love! Very much considering a change in studies.

[@adskFusion]

Great to hear! Let us know if you get stuck or find something challenging.

[@beonyou]

Very clear and instructive. Perfect.

[@thomaskittredge540]

Incredibly simple explanation of some fairly complex tools. Thanks!

[@pa.l.2499]

Still a great tutorial. I knew some of the overbuilding concepts, but what really helped was the solid proof by section analysis. I also thoroughly enjoyed the bending of the form splines to achieve the artistic look in the concept drawing. Smart and sleek lamp design, I feel inspired!

[@adskFusion]

Thanks Peter! This IS an amazing tutorial that we just can't part with...despite old UI.

Great development team and support.

[@LCVM4500]

Autodesk is on fire💥. It's so user friendly and versatile to use. I have used the MODEL, RENDER and SIMULATION mode in fusion 360 for robot modelling for almost 2 years now. It initially had some issues, but after some updates it now runs so smooth on my Nvidia powered windows laptop.

[@adskFusion]

Thanks Vineet! Do us a favor and spread the good word!

[@final182]

Nice tutorial, I was wondering: If you end up turning the model into a solid body, is the trimming necessary? I would think you can do without, since the center that is being trimmed gets filled in afterwards anyhow...

[@dustinspinner2040]

Great tutorial. There are a couple things that have changed the years since publication but it's still very helpful.
