Okay, this was the single best "in a nutshell" tutorial I have ever watched on KZbin. Fast, straight to the point, no-nonsense. Thank you!

[@OKOK-hm2is]

Wow, you've managed to put in 9 minutes video more info than some people put in 3 hours. Thank you! It's a great overview for me, who's opening Fusion360 for the first time

[@camp1356]

I don't even know why I am watching this (I don't even own a 3d printer) but I am in for all of it.

That was the BEST tutorial I've ever seen. For a 10-min vid I didn't expect much but that was detailed, straight to the point and overall excellent.

[@bratbiswas]

Awesome. Very precise, instructive and sufficient for a beginner. Thanks.

[@josephpk4878]

The format of this tutorial earned an instant subscription. I haven't even opened my fresh install of Fusion 360 and I'm sure that this will be my go-to software for basic models - Blender, for the detail models. Coming from a background in 3D Max, I'm assuming that the learning curve will be a Sunday stroll.

[@fergoramone]

That was the most perfect tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you very much!!

Another faster way to get to the spur gears is by clicking on the python script of spur gears in the add-ins. Fusion 360 then makes it available in the solids tab under the create button. Pretty efficient I think.

[@MrThePsychologist]

if i have sketch in 1:1 scale can i convert it in 1:18 for example without having to resketch

Can I use a picture to get some results

[@AerialLensVideo]

This is very helpful - Thanks! However, your opening screen has that data or home etc panel on the left side. Mine has no such panel (only the grid area shows up). How do I get my view to look like yours from the very beginning?

[@MCAndyT]

Dunno if you still need the information, but the video cuts off the top of the menu & tabs: If you look at the top left, above where it says "Design" you'll see a few icons, one of which is a grid of 9 squares. Hover over that with your mouse and you should get pop-up text that says "Show Data Panel". That's how to toggle that area on the left side on and off. Hope that helps!

[@AerialLensVideo]

@@MCAndyT Thank you so much!

[@abhinavshah5722]

Thanks for the tutorial! Why do I get the option "save as mesh" rather than "save as stl" when I want to get ready to 3D print? Thanks! Edt: Clicked on that, do I choose STL(Binary) or STL (ASCII)

[@mihailfelixdumitresc]

I have read comments here from "perfect newbees" and they say that the presentation was clear and sufficient enough for a newbee. It's funny, as I happen to think that Fusion 360 is not that straightforward as it seems to the said newbees; maybe because I design in Rhino and I first have to "unlearn" some things and then re-learn some other things (for example the concept of "constraints" and how to "finish sketch" every time I finish a 2D contour). I realize that this is the "price" I have to pay for using NURBS exclusively so far; currently I am right before (just about ) getting into parametric......my understanding so far is that the "finish sketch " is like the end of the process of taking a picture before that picture is incorporated into a movie. Later on, if I want to change a picture and therefore alter the whole movie, I have got a clearly defined reference point in time to come back to and change it if need be.

[@supportingemail4436]

Brilliant best quick tutorial ive found! ever!

[@SuperHunteeYoutube]

For some reason, the spur gear thing wouldnt work until I duplicated it

[@Whetzell]

I was hoping this would show how to move individual points of a shape, seems like a basic thing but I can't find an answer

[@3DPrinterAcademy]

Unfortunately that's not really how modeling in fusion360 works. If you want to do that type of mesh modeling I would recommend using Blender. Fusion is really good at moving faces, joining, and subtracting solid bodies. The only time you would really move a point is in a 2d sketch

[@Raminparvari-pv]

‏Hello, I use the personal and free version of fusion. Every time after designing, when I want to save my model in stl format, I have to wait for the generative design to be done. Is there a way to save my model immediately and not have to wait? Thankful

[@3DPrinterAcademy]

Yes, if you right click on the body, go to save as mesh and select STL. This method is basically immediate compared to the export method, which is very slow.

[@3DPrinterAcademy]

(You right click on the name of the body in the tree on the left)

[@Raminparvari-pv]

@@3DPrinterAcademy thanks but i cant find save as mesh

[@Raminparvari-pv]

@@3DPrinterAcademy Thanks, where is it stored?

[@Tuxedo2680]

If you create a design and export it as an .stl, does Fusion count that as an editable file? My second question is: can you have an unlimited number of read-only files? I really want to play with it but I'm afraid of reaching a limit where it stops working and forces me to purchase the $1500/year license just to finish a project I started earlier. And I really can't afford something like that.

[@prots]

So to my knowledge you get fusion 360 for 3 years free but you cannot use it for commercial use and you cant make more than 1000 USD from it

[@Tuxedo2680]

@@prots I have no intention of using it for commercial purposes but what happens after 3 years? Does it stop working?

@@Tuxedo2680 it will make you pay or you just create a new free account If you're only using 3d print modeling definitely use free

[@colincampbell3679]

It is far too hard to learn, even with help videos! So I was really put off using it because of that. Plus the way the free users were miss-treated by the company who makes it, where they changed the options in the program we had and kept on at us trying to force us to buy the over priced full software by cutting the amount of free actions in the software put allot of us off using even the free now limited use version. I un-installed it and will never even try it again because they just were so bad to us free users.
