Create Assemblies with Joints in Fusion 360 | Day 23 of Learn Fusion 360 in 30 Days - 2023 EDITION

[@ProductDesignOnline]

UPDATE: At 3:03 you will want to select "Pin" (formerally "Ground"). "Ground to Parent" is a new concept introduced in the latest Fusion release.

I keep learning new things in Fusion 360 from your channel. I even go back and watch the learn Fusion 360 in 30 days series. A lot of things you teach go directly with modeling Airplanes.

[@Grazfather]

Whoa! I reached the end. Looking forward to more. These are top notch!

[@manuelofosu]

5:35 if you're finding it hard to do the sliding part, make sure to select the snap joint of the upper tube when the blue arrow is pointing down. Then use the Blue minimum joint motion limit arrow instead of typing in the value. That worked for me.

I GOT THE BALL JOINT WORKING CORRECTLY!!! The Section Analysis tool helped me identify conflicts that prevented Contact Sets from working. I shrank the ball by 0.1mm, cut the right side of the mount path in the red stand 0.7mm, cut a new tangent arc through the bottom of the path, and chamfered the path edges 1mm. After that the contact set between the camera mount and red stand are working perfect! :D

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Well done. Great job sticking with it!! 💪

Great video as usual. Thanks :) I am waiting for the next one...

[@undahdaskin]

Hi, first of all i wish to thank you for all these videos that help people like me to understand this software, At 8:55 when you click on the Flag/handles with the mouse to adjust the limits of the joint, I can not get that to happen, is that only available in the paid version, i am still learning Fusion 360 and only have the Free version to use as a learning aid.

[@SkylarFTG]

i'm on an education liscence and don't have it either

[@VoorNep]

first of all, thank you for the video course! learning a lot. I have a question: when I try to move the joints, it grabs the whole assembly and moves it, instead of just sliding the leg for example. what goes wrong here?| thank you!

[@MatthewHales]

For some reason when setting the resolute joints for the three leg/body junctions the values of Min -40 and Max 25 work on only two of the joints. When those values are entered into the third joint the Min Max positions end up in very different places when click-dragged through their full range of motion.

[@impr2003]

Thank you for the course! At 8:55, I'm not seeing the flag to move the leg and determine the correct value for the maximum or minimum. The animation itself is working fine.

[@SkylarFTG]

Having the same issue

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Sorry I'm just seeing your comment. This is a known bug and fix is supposed to be released soon. In the meantime, you'll have to use the input fields in the dialog box to set the min and max values.

[@impr2003]

@@ProductDesignOnline Thank you! I've already completed your 30-day course, and it was incredibly helpful for me as a beginner in Fusion 360.

[@arprestia]

If you're unable to click and drag the components at 0:53, open the select menu and make sure "Component Drag" is checked. For some reason, this was disabled for me.

[@jaapn.9436]

hi my friend , i have a question when creating the joints i would like to manually move the joint with selection , i end up moving the whole tripod instead of the invidual joints, i set them correctly because when i animate the joint it does animate correctly , however selecting a leg or .. ball joint it moves the whole tripod

[@lilia3944]

Hi, this video series is great so far but I'm struggling to move the joints. They'll move, but refuse to stay put, with the exception of one revolution joint I haven't found a difference in. I'm moving them well within the defined limits, they won't move further anyways. Is there a setting I could've changed on accident?

[@johnyxnn]

Thanks for the videos. One question, I have not find any thing to physically limit the motion of the leg, so if i 3D print this thing the leg will fall out, correct? What can i do to improve the model so after 3D printed it can limit the motion? Further question is, if such feature is added to the 3D model, will the program be able to pick up the limit automatically (perhaps through physic engine collision algorithm)?

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Unfortunately, this model was not designed with 3D printing in mine. You could a lip on the end to prevent the tube from sliding out. That said, Fusion's joints will not automatically detect that you still have to set the joint limits.

[@urbanspoken]

Thank you 🙏 Now "Ground" has been renamed to "Pin" 🙈

[@HenkJanBaard]

First of, I love this series, so thanks for this! I have Fusion 2.0.19207 and the option 'Ground' is replaced by 'Ground to Parent'. Also there is an option called 'Pin' that wasn't there before. I'm not sure but I think, were you talk about 'Ground', I have to use 'Pin' now?

[@maxfulmer3193]

Same for me

[@jonnysegway7866]

Same, but when I use 'Ground to Parent' I can still drag this component, 'Pin' seems to do the trick

[@perrykappetein9685]

i can;t seem to do the sliding part... it keeps changing all 3 values.. i can't do them 1 by one... how to fix that?

[@Croft_Customs]

I’m having the same issue. It also is upside down. For the leg to go inside the other leg it needs to be 55mm, not a minus. 6:39

[@jonathanlazaro2021]

i had the same problem, it was because i set the snap point to the edge of the tube and not the bottom ( side) of the tube

[@Yoggoth]

It is better to make multiple components with rigid joints or one component with multiple bodies?

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Really depends on the design and your objective. My personal preference is to have multiple components with Rigid joints as it's more future proof if you do need to change joints/position/motion in the future.

[@GerhardRC-Purpose]

Hello Kevin, there is no Ground function when I right click on the red stand. I only show Ground to parent. What did I do wrong here?

Your mistake is that you didn't read the pinned comment before commenting. That's it nothing else...

The flags don't appear for me at 5:40 when setting the joint motion limits and then at 8:50 the flags appear but I can't drag then. Has this feature been changed?

Is there something somewhere you have to turn on to getthe flags? for slider joints its not too much of a problem but i'm having real problems getting the revolute joints to line up :/ Also (i'm sure this is my fault but it's extremely frustrating) when i'm changing 1 of the limits, it sometimes, but not always changes all of them to be the same as the value I just entered...

[@Железный_Капут]

Hi there! I've got a problem with joints. For example, try to make a body and name it Body1 or whatever you like. You can't move it till use "move" function and it's ok. After that make a component from the Body1 and then you can move it free just clicking on it the left mouse button and it's ok too. Next use "Ground" function with component and it will freeze his position. Now make the second clean project and insert your component Bosy1 in this new project using function "Insert into Current Design". You still can move it free just clicking mouse on Body1. And here we are close to something interesting. Use the "Ground" function for Body1 here to freeze it....... I CAN still move it after all ..... WTF ???!!!!

[@mattshields8349]

The flag icons do not appear for me when attempting to set the Min/Max values in the "As-Built Joint" tool. Any suggestions?

[@jonnysegway7866]

Make sure when you select the 'Snap' you highlight the interface between the two component and not the outer edge of the chamfer

[@latvius7600]

Same here, I ended up just unchecking the other two boxes (min and rest) as every time I changed a value they all changed.

[@Ridingrules10000]

Anybody else having trouble with the revolute joint on the last leg? The limits are tied to each other somehow and I can't set them where I want them. As if there's another constraint or a defined parameter that I don't see. *Edit*...Figured out how to get past it, but still not sure why that was the case. I had to change the z-axis to a different circle center.
