Fusion 360 Tutorial - 5 Things Beginners Want to Know about Fusion 360

[@josephpk4878]

Even though these tutorials are somewhat dated, they're the #1 source that I go to, when I want to learn something fundamentally important about F360. It blows my mind when people just decide to sit down and teach, for the main purpose of educating people. Hat off to Lars.

[@steelhorses8491]

I just learned more in 40 min of your videos than I did from a $80 manual and 8 hours of frustration, Thanks for making me believe in Fusion 360 again!

[@cadcamstuff]

That is awesome to hear SteelHorses .Thank you for watching the videos

[@algenovex]

Tusind tak for this series, it gave me the right motivation to keep on learning this software

[@SusiBiker]

Hi Lars, I'm new to F360 (and computer-based CAD). I just wanted to say that this has cleared up so many issues that I had come across in the past couple of months. I had found the general tutorials I had seen so far assumed that you knew the basics of F360, then sped off into the distance leaving me stranded... You've cleared up the constraints problems I was having, model importing, and versioning, all in one video. Thank you! (I realised that the versions were buried somewhere, but had to produce stuff at work, then learn how to draw properly in my own time) Susi xx

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and comment! Happy you found it helpful! Have an awesome day!! Best, Lars

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi Susi, Thank you for taking the time to watch the videos and commenting. Really happy you find the content helpful :-) Have an awesome day! Best, Lars

[@RoyceBarber]

Lars this video is vital for newbs like myself. This video explains the general philosophy without getting stuck on tangents which newbs don't care about. I watched this many times over, taking notes in a bulleted list. I'll share that list with you when it's a bit more polished up. So you can see what's in my minds eye, as a newb who wants to take articulate notes for other newbs.

[@cadcamstuff]

That is awesome to hear Royce Barber .Thank you for watching the videos

[@FloraSlimesOfficalYT]

Thank You very much. I need 3D modelling for my new business idea. Thanks to You I now can do it myself and not spend on expensive files from outside.

[@Cody-wm4cw]

I really appreciate your tutorials Lars, I find my learning curve becoming much easier after watching.

[@ian1957ruth]

I am a complete novice , this video was recommended . Really glad I watched it.

[@cadcamstuff]

That is awesome to hear Ian Scott .Thank you for watching the videos

[@ckookla]

I thank u for taking the time to think about and take care in planning the things that true beginners need to know! This is the only one I've come across that someone just beginning can not only follow, but get and remember the info needed!Thanks again!

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you for watching! Happy you found it helpful! Have a great day!

[@chrisdavis871]

Very helpful. I need to get a better understanding of the orbit and navigation tools. Thanks for doing these videos.

[@randykilpatrick8640]

Thank You Lars for all the time and effort you put into all of your Fusion 360 tutorials. I had tried to learn CAD a few times and always felt like I was putting in a ton of effort and not getting anywhere but in a couple hours I have some basic ideas and things I can already make are flooding through my brain. I can't wait to get into more in depth tools as I move forward.

[@peterandrade4313]

Wow Lars!! I unsuccessfully tried to learn Fusion 360 quite some time ago and I'm going to give it another shot. For the past year or so I've been using and trialing some different CAD software both direct and parametric modeling and now that I'm returning back to the fold Fusion 360 does not seem so intimidating. From a hobbyist and CAD amateur this is really a great product. My bad for throwing in the towel. If I hadn't who knows where I would have been today. Thank you for these wondering videos Lars which are a tremendous help and I hope to never abandon the fold again!! Peter

[@cadcamstuff]

You are so very welcome 👍😊Thank you for watching

[@bjornml.08]

Great Tutorial! Seeing it for the second time to review the fundamentals! Tks Lars!

[@johnvodopija]

Hi Lars, I’ve been using F360 as a beginner for a while and continue to pick up great tips from your content. Keep up the quality work. Thank you. 👍🏻😎🇦🇺

[@NostromoVA]

You are the best teacher on this subject! Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge. You are taking a very complex topic and making it so easy to understand.

[@danielgilleece8052]

Brilliant teaching style. Your videos are very well paced, well organized, and really step-wise. Many videos think they are being procedural, but glance over things that beginners can't follow. Thank you for your very practical approach. Your 3-part series on the electric junction de-mystified things in F360 that I'd been stuck on for weeks! Great work!

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi Daniel, thank you for taking the time to watch the videos and comment. Really glad that you find the content helpful :-) Have an awesome day! Best, Lars

[@mikecurley2072]

Hello Lars, I'm just starting out in fusion 360. Your videos are awesome! You do a great job of breaking down the software. This makes learning much easier. Thank you.

[@engnetang3011]

Great lessons Lars, I started out by watching how other people draw in Fusion 360 and start modeling a few complicated boxes. Feel Autodesk Fusion 360 is a very powerful program and easy to use. I'm now investing more time to learn all the basic things you're talking about in your video clips. With the experiences from modeling on my own, it is much easier to understand each important point mentioned in your video. A lot learned, thank you.

[@cadcamstuff]

You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!

[@rob182935]

Thanks Lars. I use solidworks and this is day 1 of me trying to get into Fusion 360. This intro video was really useful I have now subscribed and will check out further tutorials. Thanks again this is Rob from Liverpool England.

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you Rob. Really happy you found it helpful. Have an awesome day! Best, Lars

[@cliffchism9187]

Looking forward to watching your tutorials. I started with AutoCad 1.4 in the 80s and grew with it into the 90s. I can't count the number of times I've wished I had it on my computer. I can finally afford an Autodesk product since they made Fusion free... Lol But, when I got it of it, 3d modelling was only on SparcStations and not on PC's. So, this is still very new to me.

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi Cliff Chism Thank you for watching! Autocad 1.4 was also the first version I touched :-)

[@topgundk]

Thanks Lars, really good approach. Moving from years of experience in Sketchup to Fusion 360 myself and i have the same experience with a lot of the tutorials. A LOT of info in a small timeslot, because they don't wan't the videos to be too long.

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you Michael! Have a great day!

[@Triptweeze]

Just coming to Fusion360. No CAD experience, but I've used 3D Modeling software for quite some time. Trying to get the hang of CAD is a little confusing but your video helped me out with understanding the flow of things. Adding this to my favorites for sure.

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you Eric, Glad you found it helpful!

[@motooilermotooiler9597]

without these videos I would have no idea where to start. thanks a LOT!!!

[@cadcamstuff]

You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!

[@puterpro2435]

+Lars - Also wanted to add a big thumbs up for this video. I'm still rather newly on my 3D printing adventure, and of course, got thrown into CAD. (Screaming & kicking, I might add ...) Last time I dabbled in CAD was 1996 or so ... it's changed a bit ... (!!!) This tutorial is excellent, you have a new subscriber. I also want to point out that you're a natural teacher. Some people have the gene for explaining complex things in simple language. Sadly, most engineer types don't, which doesn't stop them from producing videos, LOL! AutoDesk's "Intro" video to Fusion is an example. The instructor uses a technical term 30 seconds into the very 1st introduction to CAD that took me almost an HOUR of research to understand. Not a great start for a n00b! I showed it to my Wife, and she was like "WHAAAT??!? Is he MAD using a term like that 30 seconds in"?? Too funny (but not at the time). As part of my job (Computer Consultant) I have to train people on computers, and I see you know the rule "repeat the basic point at least three times to ensure they get it"! Well done, and thanks again!

[@cadcamstuff]

Awesome! Thank you for taking the time to write! Have a great weekend!

[@jospuli]

Thank you for great tutorials! I just watched your "Absolute beginner" videos and was able to do simple parts myself already.

[@cadcamstuff]

Awesome! Great job :-)

[@shaunbatley3763]

Amazing tutorial Lars. Clear and well explained. You have now given me the confidence from a starting point to want to now watch your video again and again until it sinks in , then take on further information and tutorials so the picture so to speak to use Fusion 360 grows without being disjointed. Thank you so much Lars you have given me a light bulb understanding now to go forward. Brilliant........I'm so excited to learn more without being overwhelmed as before. Amazing, what a teacher........

[@paulkennedy5953]

Very informative and helpful, excellent tutorial. Need all the tuition I can get. Thank you Lars.

[@daniellynch2047]

this was exactly what I needed. I started using fusion360 recently and I had only used solid works and sketch up before (about 10 years ago too when software wasn't tied to the cloud). The whole A360/cloud thing has been stressing me out. but I didn't realize it had such an elegant built-in versioning functionality. it was also cool to learn about the sculpt method since that seemed fun but daunting at first. thanks so much! this is a great video for someone who used to use older cad software and is starting to use fusion!

[@cadcamstuff]

Daniel, Thank you for watching and take the time to comment! Really glad you found the content helpful :-) Have an awesome day!

[@DCDLaserCNC]

Great information Lars! This provides a great foundation for a beginner to Fusion 360. Your explanations are excellent and easy to understand. Definitely subscribing to your channel.

[@cadcamstuff]

That is awesome to hear DCD Laser & CNC .Thank you for watching the videos

[@DCDLaserCNC]

I am one of those beginner Fusion 360 users and your videos are a definite must.

[@flypic1098]

Hi Lars, I've been using Inventor for 13½ years in my job. I expect to be made redundant soon and I'm old enough to retire. There's a sale on for Fusion 360 ending today I believe. Fusion 360 is cloud based but does it use token credits as well. I'm just an ordinary bloke and could not afford Inventor but fusion would be much cheaper if not tied to token usage. Thanks. Jim

[@craigcorbin4098]

Lars! What do you call it, when you model an object and then save it as something separate that you can then use and re-use to model additional parts? So if I want to make accessories for something, I want to draw that main object once, and then pull it in as something like "construction lines"....Thanks!

[@cadcamstuff]

You want to create a template part? You could...Create a folder named Template and then copy it to whatever new project you are working on, I guess :-) Hope this is helpful.

[@MrSumgi]

Very informative. Thanks. I am just learning this program and found a lot of the information you provided to be very useful. I am mostly still familiar with ACAD but not so much wioth the parametric modeling. I think I like this much better.

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you for taking the time to comment, Larry. Glad you found it helpful! Have a great day!

[@DCT_Aaron_Engineering]

Love your vids Lars, keep them coming please 👍

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you! Promise I will :-)

[@edwardwiniarski2981]

I too love your videos...I’m brand new to it and I drew up your conduit box right with you I love it !

[@grnsgottaM]

Great video, very informative. I didn't know about sculpting, now I can't wait to go give it a try. Thanks!

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you for watching!

[@StanFranssen]

Great video Lars. I'm new to 3D modeling but have some experience with old-school 2D wireframe CAD. Lots of good info here I have not seen in the other tutorials. Thanks for doing these videos.

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you for taking the time to watch the video! Glad you found it helpful. Have a great day!

[@danaanderson5896]

I used to use a different CAD program just for fun. My family bought me a 3d printer to goof around with and after a while found Fusion 360 because the old CAD program was umm.. well it was fun but it sucked. I have spent 3 weeks, every night after work until my eyes close watching tutorials, doing drawings, and printing plastic parts just for fun. Fusion 360 is crazy cool, and SO easy to learn. One thing that worries me is the trial version. I only have a year to play with it before paying mega bucks just for fun. Is there a none-cripple-ware version for an old bag who just loves CAD yet has no intention of ever profiting from using it? It is just fun for me and even with the trial version I feel guilty for not paying something for using it, but can not afford the full price that industrial users would pay. Thanks, Dana

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi Dana, no worries!! If you are just playing with it for fun, you can just renew your license after your year is up, and continue to use it for free. Best, Lars

[@raycos1961]

Hi Lars, Thanks so much for doing this video. I am considering purchasing Fusion 360. I have little experience with modelling/cad programs and I found your introduction to be very helpful.

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi Ray, Thank you for taking the time to watch the video. You can download a 30 day trial if you just want to take it for a spin. The trial has all the function of the purchased license. Enjoy! Best, Lars

[@tsgeorge106]

Love the tutorials! Now to go from finished product to printing it with a 3d printer.

[@hudacekf]

Your series of Fusion 360 videos are outstanding! Please keep up the excellent work!

which softare is good,in my class there is no fusion, only nuke is there,but nuke will be starting in next month,i had already completed after effects, photoshop, Fcp premire, photography basics, can i learn fusion from ur videos

[@princechannel2154]

I love this guy U helped me alot alot I was so scared of designing because of things in there But with ur instructions I've learned alot God bless u always

[@cadcamstuff]

You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!

[@robv3872]

Your videos are great! Autodesk should be paying you!

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi Rob V Thank you for watching! They are :-) they are very generous

[@riders_destiny9369]

REALLY LIKE ALL YOUR VIDEOS .....they are so informative for beginners

[@onecarwood]

I don't know what it is but I really get a lot from the way you explain things. Thank you. By the way I have just found your channel today after coming back to Fusion and I am wondering why I wasted so much time with Sketch Up. Like I am starting over but that is a good thing I guess.

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you for watching 👍😊

[@brianmosse]

Lars is a gifted teacher

[@camilalohezic5184]

Hi, Lars. Great video!! I just wanted to ask if you could/suggest you make videos with a little bit better quality. As a beginner, I don't know what these buttons are and it gets a little hard to read because your screen looks a bit blurry. Overall-thank you! It was great!

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi Camila Lohezic Thank you for watching! Yes, you are totally right. I had the wrong settings when recording that video. Sorry about that. Best, Lars

[@Ricobass0]

Very good introduction to many things which I found unclear in Paul McWhorter's videos, particularly getting the 2D sketch to turn completely black. Thank you.

[@martinhavshjsrensen253]

Thanks Lars! I´ve been looking for a 3d design software, thats easy and intuitive, for some time. Now I´ve found it in Fusion 360! ...And the learning curve is pretty tough, I´d might add! ...But thanks to your slow Danish approach, I think I might be getting there. Thanks a lot. Greetings from Denmark! :)

[@cadcamstuff]

That is awesome to hear Martin Havshøj Sørensen .Thank you for watching the videos

[@darcyturner288]

Lars, you make me want more, I mean learning off course

[@cadcamstuff]

[@normsoule4564]

Lars, really learning alot, thank you! With F360 being updated virtually daily, will there be a point where you some of the tutorials may become obsolete and redone?

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi Norm, Thank you for taking the time to watch the videos. There have been a few changes, but mostly it is a button that have gotten another look, or that they have now added a Mesh workspace, but he fundamentals are going to be the same going forward. I'm not worried about it :-)

[@terrycannon2061]

Lars I am a beginner and I am 70 years old. I seem to be having a lot of trouble seeing the font. Is there a way to increase the font in Fusion 360 so it is readable. I know how to increase it in my web browser but can not seem to figure out how to increase it in the Fusion 360 . It would be so much help if i could read what i am looking at. Thanks Terry from Texas

[@KAFA2020]

Dear respected sir, I'm really great full to you for your awesome tutorials. I've followed your instructions but after completing my design, I wanna see a design without any Shadow or reflection from the sketching. I've remove sketch but still it is not removing the dot dot(..........) Shadow or reflection from each sketching. Please could you help me?

Thanks Lars. finding your tips really helpful. keep them coming.

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you Chris! Have an awesome weekend!

[@truyenle2611]

Great lesson to learn, Lars! keep doing what you are doing.

[@adamstansfield9537]

Hi Lars, I'm finding your tutorial videos very useful. I'm experienced with SolidWorks myself but it's quite straight forward to transfer those skills. 360 seems to have a lot of functions that are easier to use than the SolidWorks equivalent, I may fully switch over.

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi Adam, Thank you for taking the time to watch the videos. I'm an old SolidWorks user myself. Totally agree with you, plus Fusion have some really good Mesh and CAM tools :-) Have a great day!

[@adamstansfield9537]

I'm finding that I am having more fun using fusion than SolidWorks. I have noticed that when you save a fusion 360 part to STEP and open in SolidWorks, there are a lot of geometry errors. This is the only thing that worries me about entirely switching to Fusion 360. I may have future clients that require a fully editable model on SolidWorks, and if my fusion 360 model can't be accurately translated over, then it could become a problem. Do you have any advice or experience that you could share in this area? Many thanks,

[@pastorhealer]

Lars... Thanks! Would you be willing to do a video on the best practice for placing screws in a line of holes? I'm confused as to what the best practice is for importing in screws from McMaster Carr one at a time or copy and pasting. Then should they all be in one folder or separate on the file structure list? I don't want the screws to move all at once when I move one. Lastly, say I'm holding a plate down to a body. The plate has a row of screw holes. What is the best practice to keep the plate from moving when it is screwed down? Do I make the screws a rigid joint to the base alone? If I do, the plate still moves. I guess I don't get how to make parts function they way they would if they were really screwed down. Thanks ahead of time if you decide to do this.

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you so much for taking the time to write. I will definitely try to incorporate some of this into a future video. Did you see the one I just did on assemblies? Not sure if that is helpful. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYKxmHycn7KlbpY Have an awesome day!

[@IndependantMind168]

These are great tips Lars. I'm a heavy Solidworks user by profession and have been learning 360 at home for personal use and your videos really help. I'm really liking f360 compared to SW. It's a breath of fresh air! I'm also a draftsman and have yet to create any prints with this. Could you do a short video going further into creating blueprints? I'm curious as to how powerful it is for a professional. Thanks.

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you! Glad you found it helpful. I will put drawings on the list for sure!!

[@ZandeKongo]

I'm working on an autonomous/industrial robot project, which will be used to pull trolleys in a warehouses, and supermarkets. I've got the hang of the modelling part in Fusion, but I'm struggling with the simulation part, which is something I have to do to test the robot, especially things like payload and stress. Do you have any tutorials for this, or can you recommend any tutorials that I can follow. Would really appreciate the help. Thanks.

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you for taking the time to watch the videos! I have personally not. One resource is my friend Arron Magnin. He just did this webinar on the Fusion 360 channel. I have not seen it myself yet, but he is wicked bright! kzbin.info/www/bejne/lauslZepbtGIjpI

[@ZandeKongo]

Lars Christensen Thanks. 👌

[@Griffindor21]

Hi Lars, Whats the difference between Fusion and Inventor? When do you use it, and advantages?

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi Marvin Gorospe Thank you for watching! In some areas they are similar in others they are different. Fusion utilizing the cloud for collaboration, cloud solving and storage. Fusion is also a lot less resource heavy and doesn't need an expensive graphics card. Hope this helps. Best, Lars

[@GrayAreaSteel]

first of all awesome work and thanks. question I'm brand new to CAD but looking to getting a scanner that I can use to upload file to fusion 360 and change as I wish. looking to doing some car parts. your thoughts on which scanner to buy for ease or compatibility with fusion360. which format is preferred or easiest to work with etc.. again Thank you

[@cadcamstuff]

You know, scanners are really cool...There is just one problem, they are normally not very accurate unless you spend a lot of money. If I was in your shoes I would try to get some of your parts scanned as a test before purchase. I would go to a couple of different companies and say "I need you to scan one of my parts so I can evaluate the scan data before I buy." I have seen many cases where the scan data is full of holes and missing geometry that you end up spending hours in you CAD software stitching things together. Fusion 360 imports STL files and OBJ file types and there is a Mesh workspace in the Preview section. You should be successful if you can get good scan data :-) Hope this is helpful.

[@GrayAreaSteel]

thank you for the great advise very helpful

[@K1W1fly]

Not sure if its covered somewhere in any of your other videos, but how can you save sketches so you can put them into drawings in any position? I work with aluminium extrusion and want to save the common sections I use.

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi K1W1fly Thank you for watching! I would save the file with the sketch as a separate file.Then highlight the sketch entities->Ctrl+C-> open your new design->Ctrl+V and the sketch will be copied into the new design. Hope this is useful Best, Lars

[@robertjohnson5796]

Newbie here. Instead of modes Model, Patch, Render, Animation, Simulator, and CAM, I see Design, Generative Design, Render, Animation, Simulation, Manufacture, and Drawing. Is this due simply to using the current update which is 2.0.12157?

[@stevenh8743]

Thanks for these great videos!!! I sit watching them with my mouth wide open in amazement. I have a couple of questions 1: What is your recommended order to watch your videos in if I am a complete beginner (software engineer by trade), 2: I'm working on a project and I'll need to connect several pieces of square metal "tubing" together in a way that they are easily assembled/dissembled. One idea is to use a spring plunger where the inner tube would have the spring & ball and the outer tube a hole where the ball locks into. I assume your hardware provider would have one that could be screwed into the inner tube. Are there other preferred ways to connect parts together that that they are easily assembled/dissembled? A driver bit set is another option where the driver head has a groove which locks into a circular spring clip. 3: I'd like a snug fit between the various parts so what should be the difference in the outer measurement of the inner tube and the inner dimension of the outer tube? thanks again

[@cadcamstuff]

Check out this playlist kzbin.info/aero/PL40d7srwyc_NopbOnJ4IARIvSrTT1pp5m 👍😊

[@PRX5]

Lars, fantastic video's ! I have a sugestion... mention that to see a sketch turn black you need to change the default setting in preview to make that happen.

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi Jan, Thank you for taking the time to watch the video. Yes, I am waiting for development to take that option out of preview and make it default :-) Have a great day!

[@robeigner4390]

You were recommended as the best place to start learning about Fusion but your video needs to be updated with newer screens and workspaces. I downloaded the hobbyist version of Fusion 360 and the first two workspaces are not Model and Patch but Design and Generative Design. Are these the updated names or something totally different? Do you have an updated beginners Tutorial?

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi Rob, Model is now Design, and you will find the Patch workspace renamed Surface-located within the Design workspace. Yes, my videos are a little outdated because of some different responsibilities within Autodesk

[@jphiggins7037]

Got it, thanks Lars, the other tutorials might make sense now!!!

[@bobbylee2101]

Hello Lars. Is there a PDF file that I can print of all the short cuts that you used so when I am drawing to help me. I am having trouble memorizing all them.. Thanks for all your videos they are very helpful.

[@domijust4816]

Shortcuts: S=Model Toolbox Q=Push/Pull C=Circle D=Dimension L=Line X=Construction P=Project Ctrl+Z=Undo J=Joint

[@bobbylee2101]

Thank you

[@robertbritten8132]

New to Fusion. Excellent stuff. Thanks Lars.

[@garyspyder]

Hi Lars, how can I rotate an object and sketch altogether in one command? I 'm doing the move/translate command with rotation option but there is no multi selection for sketch and bodies selection like all entities? I can do it but has to do another command. Why there is no option for selectable entities to rotate which also good if you have a lot of additional entities.

[@pitu72ger]

this is great video style. also level of excitement is now perfect:-) Thanks for sharing.

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you! Really appreciate the feedback! Have an awesome weekend!

Holy #@%! a Fusion 360 video that I can actually follow and learn from! Subscribed!

[@cadcamstuff]

Glad you liked the video :-). Thank you for subscribing!!

[@sabrita7777]

You really filled in some essential gaps. Great video!

[@griffonman1]

I would love to know how you made the serrated pattern on the round object that appears at 19:00. I have been trying to figure this out for a week now and can't find a tutorial on how to do it. Any chance you could teach us? Really appreciate your expertise and taking the time to share your knowledge.

[@krowe33]

Yeah, that would be a good tutorial.

[@KillaAhmadilla]

Literally trying to figure that out and got so excited when I saw the thumbnail.

[@kurtwolf5847]

I like this tutorial. if you have the free version can you save the files to your computer?

[@dianechen705]

Hi Lars, love your tutorials and subscribed. I am not sure if you are still checking the comments after almost two years. :) Only one thing is the resolution for the video is quite low on full screen. I do not if that's only me or anyone else has the same experience.

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi Diane Chen Thank you for watching! Yes, totally my mistake. I had the wrong resolution when I processed the video. Best, Lars

[@johnhorning2506]

Lars what's your opinion on computer/OS for running Fusion360 the best? Is there any difference between Mac and Windows for functionality or performance?

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi John. I run Fusion on a Windows machine. I know most of the Fusion guys at Autodesk are running Mac's. There was a rumor at one point that Fusion ran a little smoother on Windows, but I could not tell you if that is still the case. I don't think running Fusion would be my deciding factor on which machine I would choose. Always exciting when looking for new hardware :-) Good luck!

Hey Lars, Thanks I am just starting out. You help explain things well . I'll look to you as I am learning. Thanks , Dave

[@cadcamstuff]

Thanks for taking the time to watch the videos David. Have an awesome day!

[@Dougout92]

Great training, slow enough to keep up and learn a few great foundational skills. Thanks

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you, Doug. Glad you find the videos helpful! HAve a great day! Best, Lars

[@Dingenman]

Thanks Lars, I learn so much from your tutorial vids!

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you for taking the time to comment and watch the videos! Have an awesome day!

Do you know how to CNC a topographic map so that only certain roads are cut into the model? I asking you because when I look up CNC topographic maps A LOT of people use Fusion 360 to prep the stl file.

[@chuckels431]

Lars, fantastic videos, my question is if you import a model from someone else does the history also come with it? How about a model from a different system like sw?

[@sonnybrahmi3136]

Thanks Lars , great videos and great energy

[@brianmongkolpoonsuk1619]

I love your videos, they are very informative and entertaining!

[@rudolphz55]

As always, great help and video Thank you!!!

[@owensboromunicipalcommissi4945]

Great video; I wish more people tried to explain programs in a big picture mode. However, I wish you would have explained what the differences are between Fusion 360 and normal Autocad. Thanks So Much Lars

Thank you Owensboro Municipal Commissioners Meetings (OMU)

[@ronalddoctors3190]

great tutorials...keep them coming.. I am coming from SW and the challenge is not easy.. but easier thanks to you. I find move and copy in F360 to be the most difficult for a beginner. Can you do a beginner tutorial on this topic..please.

If Lars ever snapped and became a kidnapper, he wouldn't do anything terrible. He would just tie someone to a chair, turn on some music, and talk about fusion 360 for days. Love the videos man!

[@cadcamstuff]

That is awesome Kin . Maybe I have a future as an interrogator :-) Thank you for watching the videos

[@overloadrc]

Great video buddy I've learnt a lot just from you I will carry on watching thank you

[@cadcamstuff]

That is awesome to hear OVERLOAD-RC .Thank you for watching the videos

[@overloadrc]

Hi buddy just a quick question I'm new to fusion 360 and trying to make a cylinder with a cut out for a o ring washer to fit inside I'm basically making a nylon water jacket for an RC motor

[@ripper9111]

Hi Lars. I am learning Fusion 360 mostly for 3D Printing applications and since the z axis is 'up' in the 3D printing world, how important is it that Fusion is set the same under 'preferences' (i.e. the 'default modelling orientation' setting)?

[@cadcamstuff]

Not really important. Most print utilities, like meshmixer, will let you orient the model at the end so you can place it the right way on the printer. Best, Lars

[@ripper9111]

Thank you for the quick reply.

[@rafalzajakala8257]

Very well done video Lars! I like the way you explaining things...simply, calm and always to the point. I have one question here, because I also want to know something about Fusion 360 :-) I used to work with Sketchup. There in the end of your modeling you can smooth the model. Then you don't have the lines and planes that you don't want to see anymore, just nice looking thing. Can I do something like that in Fusion 360 as well? Greetings

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi Rafal, Thank you for taking the time to watch the videos. Yes, You can change the display setting at the bottom of the screen to show just as shaded. That should do the trick :-) Have an awesome day!

[@rafalzajakala8257]

Hi Lars, Thanks1 Everything is working perfect! But probably in the future I'm going to have more questions. I just like to earn new things :-) Have nice day...with a little less snow! Greetings from sunny Netherlands.

[@danibrayt]

Great TOP 5 by Lars!!!

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you danibrayt

[@smitkapadia8080]

Thank you very much! It is very useful for me because I am a beginner in Fusion 360

[@lynnsaunders2273]

When I pick a sketch plane for the first extrusion, I am always thinking what will be the top, front, or side of my part and pick one of the three planes that makes the most sense. When a plane is picked in the video, how do you know which one of the three you are hovering over?

[@MrPTrog]

I have the same problem. Easy to do in inventor as they are named. I'm sure I'm missing something, but I don't know what it is.

[@IndependantMind168]

Look at the view cube in the top right. Does this help or am I missing the question?

[@IndependantMind168]

Also, when selecting the plan you have to think of the three selections as the inside of a box. So at 12:15 you're looking at the inside of a box from an angle. The bottom selection is the top plane, the left selection facing your right shoulder is the side, and the right selection facing your left shoulder is the front.

[@lynnsaunders2273]

Thank you
