Fusion 360 T-Splines tutorial Part 1: the basics

[@cadcamstuff]

Nice work! This is a great tutorial!!

[@JavaRacingCo]

This was one of the best fusion 360 tutorial I have seen! Thank you for the detail explanations!

[@MrRegcheeseman]

I've been an engineer for 30 years, last used CAD about 25 years ago, so I'm using Corona lockdown to teach myself Fusion 360. I've been through the Fusion tutorials and your tutorial has been a great help with T splines. Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video, it is appreciated.

[@paulsohi9015]

happy to help! I am using the lockdown to make new videos! hopefully they'll be up soon

[@jankhynych2440]

Great tutorial! A comprehensive and explanatory beginner to advanced tutorial series on sculpting is badly needed as there is none out there. Subscribed and look forward to another episode. Very useful, thank you!

[@Gouki87]

Jan Khynych glad you like it! Part 2 should be coming out hopefully before the week is over!

[@chrisyoung8062]

I learned more about t-splines and sculpt from this video than all the others combined. Thanks.

[@enricobononi8655]

Nice...thank you. I was struggling to find the way forward in modelling a canopy for my drone and this video helped me. It would be nice if you can keep doing this series and address issues such as how to embed geometry/solids in the free-form model. I.e. supports, screws holes, standoff for connection with the chassis etc.

[@room007]

Thank you, this has been a bit of a breakthrough for me.

[@MarkRyanAB]

Very helpful. There aren't many good T-Spline tutorials.

[@paulsohi9015]

more coming soon!

[@nickabbott226]

The part where you demonstrated how you should match an equal number of faces when using the bridge/weld command was really helpful.

[@paulsohi9015]

glad you like it! I know it's very very late, but part 2 and 3 are coming soon!!

[@nickabbott226]

Hell yeah. Also crazy thing was I clicked on your video and was like, oh shit, I know that guy! Chatted with you at the SQ1conference in Chicago this past summer. haha. Quick question, I imported a fusion 360 file into keyshot, and when I try and drag a material onto it, it changes the whole product to that material. I tried unlinking the material, and also saving as an STL, but have had no luck in separating the materials. Any suggestions?

[@paulsohi9015]

@@nickabbott226 I've never actually used Keyshot lol, on IG if you reach out to willgibbonsdesign he should be able to answer that, he's a bud and a Keyshot pro!

[@Aristotlein21stcentury]

great video. keep making more. there are very few videos available for generative design and tspline

[@georgettewebb2900]

Great tutorial. Easy to follow. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to your next videos.

[@erichowey1568]

Thank you for making this! This helped me tremendously with my mental block with T-Splines!

[@hasanhuseyinburhan1966]

I loved this video.Perfect for beginner car designers !!!

[@BasicFolders]

I just discovered your channel, where is that little supply cart on the desk from?! I can’t believe that is it the main question on this video, it is adorable!

[@paulsohi9015]

hahahah! all good, it's from ikea, very handy for at home if you are a hobbyist :)

[@BasicFolders]

@@paulsohi9015 Thanks for the info! Pro's in almost every field seem to have the most interesting items on their desks. 😊

[@ScottMoyse]

I'll be using the scale along a single axis tool to straight out edges where more often now. Thanks.

[@TMODCustoms]

Great tutorial, I'm trying to learn t-splines and this is the best vid I've found so far. SUB'D! Looking forward to learning more from you. Much appreciated!

[@joshuadunlay9244]

You should really make some more! Really like how you explain how to make things easier

[@adamdavis5961]

Thanks. However, when you were straightening the edges, you grabbed it and pulled it, then put in a value (0.01) each time. Why did you move it first? Is there a reason? And why that value, you described doing it, but not why. Also, when you creased the windshield/roof, I didn't see a value for the crease, just selected and hit ok. Is there no control over the value, or did I miss where it was entered? Nice video, you said what you were doing, just not always why. I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to get into F360, figured tutorials would help. Thanks.

[@paulsohi9015]

Hi Adam! the function I did is a trick where if you scale an edge down to 0.01, it makes it straighten up, that's why. I moved it for visuals for myself. The crease function has no integer value associated, it is a binary crease or not creased. If you want control, you can do that with the bevel function! Thanks for the feedback, I am long overdue to make part 3 of this

[@ninjarevjames465]

Paul enjoyed this video is it possible you do a video on the chassis I know youi can download it but i think everyone would benifit from a chassis tutorial too.. Good work

[@afrykanerPL]

Amazing skills. THX

[@guitarfumar]

When I extrude the roof line, I have no faces option. It’s one face only. The other lines extrude properly. Any idea what is going on? I’ve extensively googled to no avail. 🙃

[@paulsohi9015]

hm, I might need some images to help you out there. DM me on IG with some screenshots: FusePS

[@黄可心-k4w]

So do I!🥲

[@guitarfumar]

@@黄可心-k4w It’s been a while but I believe we figured out the issue. If you’re having the same issue there’s a way to add faces manually. Let me know if you need help.

[@黄可心-k4w]

@@guitarfumar wow, thanks for the reply! I'm not sure what the problem was, but I seem to have solved it by adding an extra control point there in the spline curve.😀

[@guitarfumar]

@@黄可心-k4w glad I could help!

👍 Great video on t-splines! Would love to see more, much more actually. 😆 PS - The links to your files (Fusion) are not allowing access. Sorry.

apologies it took so long, but I have updated the links in the description

@@paulsohi9015 Thanks! 👍 And it's no biggie about your response time, really. 😃

[@michaelkelly3158]

Hi Paul, would you be able to make a tutorial on how to make the grovemade speaker, or at least the steps required to make something 'like' this in fusion? Really struggling to get this done :(

[@paulsohi9015]

Do you mean the geometry creation or how to manufacture?

[@michaelkelly3158]

@@paulsohi9015 The geometry, I can't figure out how to make the model in Fusion, or something similar. Thanks!

[@paulsohi9015]

@@michaelkelly3158 so for the usual reasons I wouldn't be able to model the grove made speaker, but I can do something inspired by for a tutorial!

[@michaelkelly3158]

@@paulsohi9015 yeah I understand, it's less about making the grovemade speaker and more about being able to model the kind of horn they have within there. I couldn't achieve the consistency of the wall thickness between the outside of the speaker and the horn.. if that makes sense? Anyway, a tutorial for something inspired by it would be amazing!

[@ArdiUtamaIDWGD]

yes, love it

Where I can get the Chassis? cz I tried to click the link on the description and this page say, Sorry. You don't have permission to access this page.

I'm logged into fusion 360 but it says I'm not authorized to access the chassis base data.

[@paulsohi9015]

Hey Kevin, really sorry about that, it looks like an error created by some data shuffling on my end. Can you ping me on IG with a DM? I'll email you the files directly for now and then find some time to create new links for the description

what is the reason for scaling to 0.01 instead of 0 ?

[@AmbionicsUK]

Watching for third time...

[@fuzzdogs]

no offence but the amount of times you said "adds some character to it"

[@paulsohi9015]

but it did add character, didn't it? :P

[@tedgrimshaw4933]

Hi Paul, This is the first tut of yours that I've started to watch and unfortunately I have had to stop. It is the undulating sound of the narrative that is affecting my taking it all in, high - low - high - low. I would respectfully suggest trying to keep an even volume and also to be more decisive in your actions. It is not helpful to the student to have the tutor hesitating on what icon he should be pressing. So, again with full respect, watch your own tutorial and see if you get what I am talking about. Thank you and kind regards. Ted

Your audio levels going to and from the computer environment change a lot. Please change them to be more consistent throughout the video.
