[@shayfiebig6467]

Wow, what an amazing tutorial series. Your idea of teaching someone that has barely any previous knowledge of CAD/3D modelling and then posting it to a public channel like this is something you just don’t see on KZbin. Thank you!

[@learnitalready]

Thank you for your comment and encouragement. It’s true, it was a little daunting at first, because you never know how a person learns or responds to teaching, but Dan is such a good student and applies himself well. Glad this series is helping so many out there!

[@maliyasheppard1024]

I've been looking for a beginner friendly tutorial on Fusion 360 and so far this is the only one that makes complete sense to me. I look forward to watching more videos from this channel. :)

[@learnitalready]

It is wonderful to have received your comment. Thank you! I will pass on your sentiments to Dan as well. Did you know that the entire series is on Udemy now? We now have almost 500 students that have signed up from 52 countries in 17 languages. It is currently the highest rated course on Udemy for Autodesk Fusion.

This is my first time seeing a tutorial where the instructor is actively teaching a student. 99% of tutorials are usually just the instructor showing step by step and it's really unique to see something like this.

@@learnitalready so far the videos have been great. Definitely easy for a new comer. The patience you have with Dan is amazing. He’s doing such a great job I feel his tv monitor is hurting him. I’m currently on day 5 since I sorta have an idea I start with the homework and try to finish. Then I’ll watch the video to see where I struggled. Then after video I’ll delete everything and redo my work. The point feature is something I never self taught myself and it’s definitely an amazing feature. I normally would just drag circles and struggle to get them in the right spots haha. Can’t wait to see what the rest of the videos bring. Also I only found your channel because I wanted to add a parametric vice to my work area I got that going then I figured I see what else you have posted and omg so much to watch I can’t wait to learn

I appreciate your explanation of the three drawing planes, I too like to begin my drawings on the "XY" plane. One way to make this selection quicker is to hover your cursor over the lower center area of the canvas between the green and red lines. When you click this area it selects the "XY" plane, you can verify that you chose the correct plane by seeing the "view cube" rotate to "Top." The explanation of how to view the object using the view cube, mouse, scroll button, etc. is well done. Every artist takes pride in what they create by seeing it in different orientations.

[@learnitalready]

We really thank you for the time you took to express your appreciation for this tutorial. So glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you too for your explanation too. Looking forward to hearing more of your learning journey in the future.

[@plugwithapug]

This is what I needed. I watched so many tutorials and got overwhelmed and ultimately quit. I NEED an actual teacher and need to see how to use this program in depth. Most places just speed run through the tools. I really like that you started with file management so we get a feel for all the back end stuff of this program.

[@plugwithapug]

For some extra info, I am a Welder/fabricator as well and learning CAD is actually for my 3D printing hobby.

[@johnmcdonald3231]

Great video you answered a lot of my questions with them! Im looking at your course, is there a summary of each chapter? I did one and two but it looks like later on in the paid course it focuses on CNC and tool paths. I am just using for 3D printing so wouldn't need those skills.

[@learnitalready]

Great question! The first 6 hour sessions all focus on design. Session 7 focuses on CNC. Session 8 focuses mostly on troubleshooting. So, most of the course is dedicated to design which is definitely usable with 3D printing.

[@frankbonsignore.RochesterNY]

Hello again! I like this format and intend to follow along. However, I like my screen to look EXACTLY like yours, with the view cube and axes exactly the same. It seems to be important to me. I spend an inordinate amount of time trying to get this to look like it and of course, get frustrated, etc. Can you offer any advice? If I join the channel as a member do I get prompt response to my stupid questions? Do aluminum members get lower or less prompt service? I'm seriously interested.

Hello again 👋 Thanks for reaching out. First and foremost, you are not alone in feeling frustrated when not being able to figure things out. I am amazed to hear stories of ones like you that are pressing on and not giving up. Excellent job! If you join the channel as a member, I will always do my best to respond to your questions. Oftentimes I use questions from members as a basis for an entire tutorial if possible, or will talk about it at some point. Right now, we are still a relatively small channel and so I am able to respond to most comments. I can’t promise that I will respond to every question immediately, but I genuinely try to answer all questions (as you can see if you scroll through the comments of each video). If you become a Titanium member, we will definitely give your questions priority over anyone else and give a monthly shoutout to you on our videos. We truly appreciate that you are considering.

Hi, ive just started to follow your course for Fusion 360 which i'm loving, you go at a great pace. I only have one issue my x,y,z orientation is not the same as yours which is making it a litte difficult for me to follow you sometimes because my sketch image is in a diffent orientation to yours is there a way i can change this to match yours. i took a screen shot but don't know how to send that to show you; my home button on the cube gives me y(green) pointing diagonally to the left and on the back plane, and my x (red) is pointing diagonaly to the right, and i cant see the z axix (blue as it is behind the cube. can you help. thank you for a great course

[@learnitalready]

Thanks so much for your encouragement and for taking the time to comment. Thanks also for your question. Yes, there is. Go to the top right of your screen to your profile and then go to Preferences. Look for the setting “Default modeling orientation” and select “Z-up.” Let me know if that works.

[@shanetungate5901]

Thank you for coming back to me so quick, I had done this but missed one step, it wouldn’t work in the existing file, but I archived the tutorial started a fresh file and the orientation is now correct, thank you for a great course and help

[@learnitalready]

@ you’re most welcome! Hope to hear from you again in our other tutorials. All the best!

[@johnmcdonald3231]

Can you make two separate extrudes from one sketch? I was trying to make a circular body with a circular brim. Which just consisted of drawing a circle within another. When I select the inner circle to extrude the outer disappears.

[@learnitalready]

Yes, absolutely. When you extrude, Fusions assumes you would like to hide the sketch that you just extruded from. So, you just need to make it visible again. In the browser (left side of screen where it shows Sketches, Bodies, etc.) you need to click on the little arrow beside Sketches to expand the Sketches folder. Find the sketch that you just extruded from and click the little eye 👁️ beside it. Now you can use that same sketch to extrude again. You just finished Day 1, but the rest of the course can be purchased on Udemy. The information is found in the description to the tutorial. It teaches the aforementioned skill and a whole lot more.

[@JerryBWagoner]

Greetings. I just finished Lesson 4 on Udemy and I had a question... When I did the homework after lesson three (homework was the mounting bracket), I was able to fully contain the sketch, including the little lock symbol in the browser area. When I later followed along in class, the lesson went well, but while the sketch behaved like it was constrained, I didn't get the lock symbol. I was really watching for it and assumed I was doing something wrong. Is the lock symbol the verification that a sketch is fully constrained? Is there such a thing as constrained vs fully constrained? Am I wrong to obsess over that little lock? :)

[@learnitalready]

It is so nice to hear from you Jerry! Thanks for reaching out. How about this: can you forward your Fusion file to me please? I will check it out and post a little video on the Udemy course as an update. I want to help all students that reach out to me that are taking the course. The best way is through another tutorial video. You can find our email on the about page to our KZbin channel. Thanks!
