Fusion 360 Pattern - How To Be Lazy and Get More Done

[@nohandlewanted-w1y]

You are one of the very best instructors in Fusion on KZbin. Thanks for the time you put into this. Design is a blast when you begin to know what you are doing.

[@720MotorWorks]

Quick, easy, straight to the point, and still relevant over 6 years later. Thank you my good sir

[@onihonker2653]

Thank you for showing a pattern on a board and how to unselect the holes you don't want. This helped me a lot.

[@PastaDNA]

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

[@ChunkiieCustomz]

I know it’s been 5 years but I needed this today. Thank you.

[@JohnCHansen01]

Tyler, GREAT TITLE. And this video is one of your best teaching tutorials. Short, focused, articulate. I am proposing a new series for you. Or perhaps you might think of it as a new way to 'label' your tutorials. It might have endless possibilities to do videos similar to this video and call them "Sketching Drills". Or "Fusion Sketching Drills." Teach your students practice drills that will give them an opportunity to strengthen their muscle memory when they are sketching. Each drill could focus on one [YES! only ONE!] sketch shape. An example would be the rectangle. Add constraints. Practice skills. Sketch, constrain, repeat. Maybe that should be the title? "Sketch, Constrain, Repeat." [Then, reward with an Espresso!]

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

Love it. That is a great idea...I am always surprised which videos end up being the most popular....I wonder how the community will receive it.

[@americanvintage4x452]

I love your videos. Straight to the point. Concise and very enjoyable to go through.

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

Glad it's helping.

[@jaredbabcock5534]

I couldn't agree more!

[@Toysojah671]

​@@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSOhello I love your videos om fusion there very helpful. I was wondering if you could help me out. Im a hobbyist in 3d printing and rc rock crawlers 1/10 scale. Im trying to designs my own 3d print tire inserts while the popularity is increasing like crazy. But I cant figure out how to make my own designs in my inner diameter. Thanks alot

[@BrentLeVasseur]

Is there a way to parametrically generate the pattern based on the distances from the boarders of the sheet you are patterning? Like say you have the first one is one inch from the left boarder and you want the pattern to stop at exactly one inch from the right boarder?

[@DASSlotCarBox]

Good tutorial thank you. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺

[@brianchapman3701]

I wasn't sure how to pattern solids as opposed to sketching, your video provided the solution. Simple thing to do . . . after you taught it. Thanks much.

[@scrainbow1234]

Thanks! This was the only video that made it super clear.

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

Glad it helped!

[@tinasalvisberg6816]

Thanks. This saved me a lot of time on a Sunday evening :) Also, I really like the way you present it and the nice vibe you have in the video :)

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

So glad it helped!

[@richardleslie410]

Struggling with patterning a series of circular feature holes, in a simple extruded model. I made the axis circle dynamic with a user para. so i could adjust the diameter of the pattern. When I change the user para. the axis circle changes but the series of holes remains unchanged. any Ideas.

[@skyedangelo3237]

straight to the point thank you sir!

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

Glad it helped.

[@wools4538]

Great video. Thank you for posting.

[@qnique2005]

Hi I have watched a few of you videos and I like the way you present the info. Question for you on patterns, ?how do I create a "string" of a feature where the size changes by a percentage each instance. THANK YOU

[@gromajor]

thanks for the video. just a little remark for newbies like me, there's just one important thing missing : I can't find here where I need to click to update the pattern.

[@YCM30cnc]

Holy Moly, that ‘select the ones you don’t want’ feature is 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

Agreed.

[@LA3198]

Thank you Tyler for a great, easy to understand video. I am very new to Fusion 360. I have subscribed and am looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@laferj317]

Thanks do you have more pattern like videos

[@ralphschultz763]

Thank you Tyler. Your video helped. Right click in the sketch box to get the drop down and click on "Show the Dimensions", that did it. I'm used to Solidworks where the dimensions show all the time when you go back into sketch. I looked in my Preferences to see if there was a way to always have dimensions on when you go back to look at a sketch, I didn't see any thing.

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

I created an answer video here... kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYSyi2quYsyspac

Thanks. Really helpful. Appreciate it!!

[@KaitoKaze]

thank you, this really help a lot!

[@prestonwhite6423]

idk if you are going to respond, but how do I create layer of cylinders, imagine you are putting cylinder cups inside each other, which will create a thick wall cylinder

[@onepairofhands]

nice presentation - cheers

[@rayyorizzo5737]

I have a similar project. a 8x10 sheet with 100+ slots. I sketched the slots and now I'm ready to cut them. Is there a way to select them in the manufacture workspace?

[@NOMAD-LEISURE]

hi i done exactly as above but when i hit ok it goes back to original with just 1 hole?

[@ck2106]

This was very helpful, thank you!

[@InsightfulImagery]

great channel and easy paced learning I appreciate your efforts

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

Glad to hear that!

[@vinyltheworld4092]

what the chair you are sitting in i really want to know

[@TheVigilant109]

Thank you. Very clear and helpful

[@multiHappyHacker]

Why doesn't the CAM "pattern" tool for drilling holes around a round part have the option to de-select certain holes?

[@markg1531]

This is a sculpting question. I use the crease command when I want to have sharp edges. But when I add a face, etc, the new segment is rounded and I have to crease it. Is there a way to set a permanent crease mode for sculpting a part, so everything I add on to it automatically gets creased? Thanks.

[@servanttofriend8481]

Great video... Thanks, Tyler.

[@joeszabo4237]

Tyler that was very good information, thank you. I have a question. Why do I get a different measurement on a hole location, when I use the measure tool, than what is the actual location of the hole? This happens in both the X Y & Z axis.

[@gabym.3426]

You just safe my life! and my time lol thank u so much

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

Glad it helped!

[@jaredbabcock5534]

Bro Tyler! Did you make your video at the UM hospital? The room you're in looks super familiar...

[@rupangchannel888]

Thank you, I'm First start in this month....^^

[@NOMAD-LEISURE]

got it now thank u!

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

😀

[@earldesign991]

Is there a way to contain a pattern with in area? Say an oval with walls and corners with fillets. Keep the pattern with the "floor" of the oval with out cutting into the fillets and walls?

[@dpelchen75]

Bahhhh. I found this tutorial 1 day too late! Awesome work. Very well explained

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

Glad you found it anyways. Thanks Darren!

[@thegardenofeatin5965]

Okay. I've got a parametric model that I want to put a linear pattern on. I might change the length of the model overall; how do i say "put a feature every 10 mm for the length of the part?" I can't seem to divide the part length by 10 for that; it doesn't want to turn a dimensional parameter into a quantity parameter.

[@justayoutuba5380]

Thank you for great tutorials new to fusion360 from corelcad ....but in all honesty you made me want fusion360 most of all even more ..

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

Very welcome.

[@fijisalt7327]

Excellent thank you 😊

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

Appreciate that!

[@lazlo342]

How can I create a pattern that wraps both around a cylinder and also along the entire length of the cylinder? For example, I am creating a bicycle hand grip and I want the entire hand grip to be covered in bumps (half spheres)?

[@luk1505]

3:55 - How do you select features from the timeline? It doesn't seem to work in latest version of Fusion 360. I have the Select option active in Rectangular Pattern, but when I click items in the timeline, they don't get highlighted blue at all, as if they can't be selected this way.

[@luk1505]

I figured it out. You need to switch "Object Type" in Rectangular Pattern window to be "Features". Mine was set to "Bodies".

[@Zewwy_ca]

Nice Tutorial Video. Don't forget you can also pattern on sketch items directly before extruding them into features, Video helps. Would been nice if you could have shown some constraints on pattern to help with even distributions (E.G 2mm from any external wall, and 8mm distance between each hole). The unselecting items from the pattern was a great tip.

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

I second that, I was just about to comment when I saw this. +1 for sure!

[@Weowtech]

Thank you so much

[@XRD_Rob]

Thanks from the UK mate, just what I needed.

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

You bet!

[@TheRangeControl]

How is a pattern copied in sketch to something else... like a pattern from one 10" diameter circle to another?

[@broderp]

What about circular or pie shaped? I have a 302 mm circle I need have cut into quarters and deleted all but one of those quarters. On this "pie Slice" I need to place as many 27 mm circles that will fit in this space. How the heck is this done? Squares and rectangles are easy...how about irregular shapes?

[@sebastiandelamaza8440]

hi, do you know how can i repeat a plane along path with increasing distance? the only way i can do it it´s one by one, thanks

[@karlfimm]

Excellent. I had no idea you could select features from the timeline. Note: you seem to be cutting your video edits a bit sharply. There's often the last half-syllable of a word chopped off.

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

Glad it helped! Thanks for the feedback...always trying to improve my editing.

[@nilssen3dservice284]

nice video, how can you curve this pattern around a circle ?

[@chips4289]

ok I see how you are doing this and its really cool. I am new using fusionabd was using a modeling software called Hexagon 2.5 it was ok to start with but now I have started 3D printing and designing an RC snowmobile with nitro motor..But I am kinda stuck...I am trying to make a loop with a patteren (the track) it needs slots cut into it for the drive wheels and paddles extruded from it..I see how you do this on the face of a square rectangle or circle...but I need to do this on the outer shell of a circle creating a complete loop with holes and snow paddles on it..any ideas?

[@billkellogg1403]

Yes, but you didn’t show how to center the group of holes on the plate. Especially in the X direction. Please explain this.

[@srenmadsen1947]

Thanks a bunch!

[@darrenatkins8073]

Thank you for making this video it was very helpful

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

Awesome Darren!

[@jaimelucy2010]

Nice thanks ,sir.

[@blackcohn]

Hi Tyler, can you please make a video on pipe routing in inventor if possible? if you can give us a demo with swagelok tubing that would be greatly apperciated. thanks

[@BadPennyDogBoy]

Your videos are great, and a great help. Speed is just right and information is nicely paced. Thanks for the time and effort! I wonder if you can do one on forming a 3D tube? As in a motorcycle frame?

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

Thanks! Sounds like fun...and challenging in Fusion. Will add it to my list.

[@SKTWoodDesign]

Thanks for this

[@OzDesi]

I'm not seeing compute option in my fusion 360. What am I doing wrong?

[@rodolfogarza8947]

Awesome, thank you, I just saved a lot of time and headache!

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

You are very welcome!

[@khestehave]

Great vid. Thanks. Is it possible to take one of the holes you created in the round flange (2:50) and make it into a pin without changing the other 9 holes?

[@ReservedRealm]

How can I make this pattern in convex surface

[@harivigneshm9794]

Thank you very much!! It saved me a lot of time

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

Great!

[@scottosds]

How does one center or align the pattern to fit within a face of an existing feature? I seemed to get the pattern down, but am having issues getting it equal on the face. Thanks in advance!

[@cornishman1954]

how would i do brick? pattern

[@josephcarlat9414]

Thank you sir

[@catherinepaulson4990]

Thank you for this tutorial. I was able to follow it up until the "click OK" stage. After redoing my pattern 7 times, I gave up. Is it possible that between 2017 and Oct. 2020, Fusion has changed something or am I just missing something? When I click OK, all my pattern disappears and I get an error message with no explanation except that it failed. The only difference between my holes and yours is that I have filletted the edges rather than the corners.

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

Are you using the identical pattern options, optimized? Same example?

[@projectdocumentation]

Not sure the fillets arrayed with the hole?

[@edgarmartinez9320]

that was excellent, thanks

[@Werner_HeR]

Love the videos. Still catching up on them though.

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

So glad it helped!

G'day Tyler I would assume (I hope that I'm not making an ass out of u and me....lol) that you can add threads to a pattern aswell. Havagoodone Greg

[@gusbisbal9803]

Patterning along curves.... where is it?

[@barryc43]

It would be REALLY good if you could slow down and make clear ALL selections. Too often beginners demos are run through quickly. Remember we're watching because WE don't know how to do things!!

[@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO]

Hey Barry, Makes perfect sense. Always a fine line to keep the video interesting and moving along but not skip over important details. Also, don't forget about that little cog icon where you can slow the video down.

[@barryc43]

Many thanks Tyler. Much appreciated.

[@CJICantLie]

Unfortunate that Fusion 360 doesn't do patterns like Sketchup, where you can input a quantity and select the start and end points and it auto calculates the distance between to match. Fusion requires that we trial and error the distance until it looks right rather than aim for perfection from the get go.

[@6milesup]

I am 100% with you on that my friend. I only used Sketchup in its early days but so you actually answered a question that I had by your comment. Apparently, there is no way to, as you mentioned, have a pattern between two end points with equidistant spacing. I have utilized construction lines but again, it is a PITA.

[@techietom5238]

Nice

[@bernardallen525]

Hi I feel that your chopping back to you to often. I think it would work better to stay on the drawing whilst instructing. Hope that's helpful.

[@above7833]

Whilst… whilst ???

[@DA-rf7zj]

Typical Fusion 360 - never works. Once selected, either bodies, feature, face, components, the hole will never highlight.

[@DA-rf7zj]

touchy

[@inatrolol]

Geht's dir gut, Bruder?

[@YCM30cnc]

👍👍

[@Alperic27]

You miss all the actual explaining and whats worse for me, the real life scenarios of doing it inside a bounded space (rather than ‘clicking and playing arounf until it looks ok’)

[@neilhabermehl6187]

"Go into edit feature" doesn't say HOW to go into edit feature. Most videos are just click click click with no explanation as to how modes are accessed. Not instructional. I select the faces to edit the pattern but no pattern Edit Feature shows as yours shows. I can only edit small adjustments that were made for each face in the set of features that I patterned. There is no apparent way to edit the pattern of a set of features once the pattern is accepted, and your video does not help with the problem.

[@camlafrance4363]

Hi Tyler, I hope you can help me. I am trying to draw a six player Aggravation game board with very limited success. It involves the creation of many holes. I tried the pattern method and after many tries, I have given up. Here is the link to my website www.aggravationgameboards.com/. That should help with the solution. I have been designing and drilling by hand for years now, and I am in hopes of putting my Shapeoko CNC to work. I think that you are the man to help me. Thanks a lot and hope to hear from you soon!
