Fusion Friday - Creating bent tubing

[@bobbymarkiewicz4933]

You give, by far, the most useful tips for fusion on youtube for the experienced users. ❤

[@philipershler420]

Several VERY useful tricks, thanks.

[@CraigHollabaugh]

This is definitely a keeper. Most of my fab work is square tubing. Tips shown here 'should' cut down on my trimming and grinding🤞. Thanks Brad.

[@amforiconsulting]

Worth watching for that "paint-trim" tip alone 👍🏻

[@ekremtok1192]

Thank you Mr. Tallis, very good lecture. All the best.

[@MarcelHuguenin]

Always something new to learn! Thanks Brad.

[@bradtallis8968]

Happy to help!

[@adambergendorff2702]

I love all videos on sheet metal!

[@JasonFornelli]

Oh man! Just over 2 minutes in and I’m finally learning about the ability to trim multiple lines quickly. That would have save me so much time a couple days ago. Thanks!

[@BlackSmokeDMax]

lol, isn't that how it always works... just after you get something done! Of course, now you are all set for next time. Any time for a lesson is a good time, even if a bit late.

With the Align tool, you can do chained operations without having to click "OK" after each pair of surfaces have been picked for alignment. Just leave the align dialog box open. Once the first two surfaces have been selected, the align operation will complete, and you can click the next two surfaces to align. There is no reason to close the Align tool between successive operation. Thanks for the tip on the Trim tool acting like an eraser by dragging it around. Very helpful.

[@bradtallis8968]

Yes, you are correct on that. I always forget that you can do that with the align command. Thanks for sharing so others can learn.

Terrific tips in this one. Ideal for a local mens shed project. Thanks so much for the video Brad. Very useful indeed.

[@bradtallis8968]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MrTiHiDi]

Holy Fusion Bradman! Drag trimming just saved me so much time! You are the man. Keep the great videos coming. We all love them. Like and share these videos everyone!

[@CraigHollabaugh]

POW! WHAM!

[@stephengittins6116]

Another brilliant video Brad. Didn't know about the left mouse and trim, so much easier. 🙂

[@patrickluisi1600]

Wow this video is so very helpful!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with all of us!!! I will definitely share and recommend Fusion Friday videos. Outstanding!

[@bradtallis8968]

I appreciate it!. Glad it helped.

[@rufustoad1]

Great stuff Brad. Keep them coming

[@johnb6599]

Great video. Love the sheet metal process. John B from AK.

[@rollandjones9556]

Very nice 3D tip, thanks Brad and keep it up.

[@Robert-Holland]

great video, and learned something again. Thank you Brad

[@Scottforyoutube]

Love the, how would I model this videos! This is next level using more than one method! TY!

[@steveragan692]

thanks Brad

[@Schoopenhauerr]

Great 👍

[@MisterkeTube]

Isn't rule #1 to always fully constrain your sketches?

[@bradtallis8968]

Yes, you should always try and have fully constrained sketches. I sometimes don't fully constrain my sketches in these videos as I'm trying to keep them as short and "on-topic" as possible, so fully constraining the sketches just adds more time. Thank you for watching!

[@BlackSmokeDMax]

a LOT of great tips and techniques in this video. Thanks Brad! Oh, by the way, just wondering how many times have you needed to restart filming your videos when you first left Autodesk to go to Nex Gen? I'm guessing more than a couple times you probably started with "This is Brad from Autodesk", lol! Or was it "Brad from the Fusion team", I forget now how you used to start those videos, haven't watched any of the old ones recently. Any way, thanks again from a long time fan of your work!

[@johncarey9149]

One questio Brad, could you have created a flange for the underside of the box/SHS and mirrored and combined to generate the box? I ask the question as I've never needed to work with Sheet Metal in Fusion as yet. However, great video, as always

[@bradtallis8968]

Yes, I could have created the flanges on the underside to "complete the box", but there wasn't a need to to represent the locations and angles of the notches. Plus, the video was already 3 times longer than most of my others, so I left that part out. Thanks for watching!

[@IceCreams62]

Great tips and tricks Brad, thanks a lot. HANWE

[@R4YTUBE]

👍💯

[@cbdzcbdz]

This is great! I am still looking for a good video that shows how to create a bend list for round tube with compound bends. The design and drawing of this is easy, but a cut/bend list of where to start the bend, the angle of the bend, and how much to "twist" the tube for the next bend would be ideal. Yes, there are other software packages that do this (Bend-Tech) but this shouldn't be beyond the capability of Fusion (360).

[@gizmofactory]

great video again! thank you! was there a difference in length of the matal with the 2 methods?

[@bradtallis8968]

Great question. I should have shown this on the video. With the Sweep option, it measured 270.093 inches. With the sheet metal version, it measured 269.854, a difference of 0.239 inches. This is probably due to the K-Factor being used in the Sheet Metal version.

[@infinitystudent8224]

thanks mister Brad... it's good to learn more easy functions and skills to work with FUSION 360... Nevertheless, why do you go the next step?
