Amazing Series for beginners Kev. Now I start feeling very comfortable with this software. We need more tutors like you. Your videos are short, concise but effective. Keep us motivated in learning more to what seem to be very complicated at first. Keep going & well done. ;) Cant stop having a dose of this every day.

[@kirankurianphilip]

Finally completed this tutorial successfully... Honestly it was a great journey... Really learned so much that now i can do my own designs

Hi. I was wondering if you could make a tutorial on making a simple pistol, that would be amazing. Thanks.

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Hi, _AlphaReturns_. I don't plan on making any YT tutorials for that, as I don't want my channel to get any violations. Maybe in the future I can upload a similar tutorial directly to my website.

[@SRRotor]

hi Kevin. I am following to all your videos and just saw this one. I have a problem with doing a simple animation to look nice. I am trying to rotate a component 360 degree. So I pushed the slider 2 seconds forward and rotate the component for 45 degree with the cube. I did that several times till I came to the end. when you see the animation the component is moving forward and backward during rotation. do you have an idea whats going wrong? Here is a link to my animation www.scale-print.de/de/startseite/339-motorattrappe-buecker-jungmeister.html

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Hi, Stefan. Thanks for sharing the video. I do see the "jerking" motion that happens while the model is rotating. It's hard to say without seeing your timeline or file. Would you be able to share the private link to your file so I can take a closer look? Feel free to send it to me via the PDO Facebook page so the link isn't visible to everyone on KZbin (facebook.com/productdesignonline). Cheers, Kevin :)

[@rjlatheart]

Thank You Keven, you did good with this 30 day series. I have watched them all and am lookin forward to putting this knowledge to use on my projects. I am a Hobby user and really enjoy using F360. In the 80"-'90"s I used Autocad for work. F360 is so much more fun to use. I have 3d printed a few of my projects with great success. Again Thank you!

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Thanks, Rich! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the series. Is your primary use of Fusion 360 for 3D printing or other uses (woodworking, CAM, etc)? Cheers, Kevin :)

[@rjlatheart]

KevenI use F360 for Garden Railroad Projects and also Laser Art & Displays. My latest project was a Night light using Acrylic and a 3d printed Cone. Everything was drawn in F360 The Cone was 3d Printed and all the acrylic was cut with my laser engraver. The Night Light can be see on my web. I just added the Dwg to the page. My site is Latheart.com The Night light is on the Laser project page. My next project is to make a stand for the remotes. And so it goes....

[@chrisredmon1958]

Hey Kevin, any thoughts on CNC systems, 3-d printers and combo systems? I'm more of a hobbyist / slightly small business.

[@chrisredmon1958]

Thanks

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Hi, Chris. I'll have to make a page on my website with more in-depth recommendations and comparisons. In the meantime, here are some of the top couple of "hobbyists/small business" CNC and 3D Printers that I would recommend. CNC Machines -Carbide 3D Shapeoko -Inventables X-Carve -Mysweety CNC 3018PRO-M Mini (Budget) 3D Printers -Ultimaker (if you’re going to run prints everyday/24 hours) -Prusa i3 mk3 -Creality3D Ender-3 (Budget) I should note that these are all ones that I own, have owned, or have personally seen in action/recommendations from friends. There are definitely some more out there that could be on this list. As far as combo ones, I know there are a few out there, but I personally wouldn't recommend that. I've found that they either work well in one realm and not the other. Or, the required setup to switch from one type to the other makes it somewhat impractical to have it for both. I hope this helps a bit! Cheers, Kevin :)

[@jamesbarratt593]

Kevin. Been watching a video on putting a chain on a sprocket in fusion 360 and the guy says he knows in solidworks you can have the chain following a path so the sprockets turn, but he doesn’t think that feature is available in fusion 360. As I cant comment, can you tell me if it is? Like say a gearbox with the gears rotating, and will fusion prompt you if theres an issue somewhere stopping the model from working?

[@ProductDesignOnline]

To create motion like that you have to use a series of contact sets and joints. From what I'm envisioning, based on your comment, that is possible in Fusion 360. However, take my word lightly, as it would depend on how the specific model is built. I do intend to (at some point) create more tutorials on joints and motion...they're on the never-ending list of tutorials to create. Cheers, Kevin :)

[@cldyment9248]

Thank you Kevin for these clear & concise tutorials. I've just finished the 360 in 30 playlist and it was very helpful. I've been using AutoCAD for 20 years & love the functionality in 360. Any suggestions for which video/playlist to start next? Thanks again!

@6:46 you select manual explode. your timeline changes, mine does not. I'm confused. I've never used this workspace before.

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Hi Robert. was your timeline marker outside of the 'scrubber' area before activating manual explode? I believe it has to be on the timeline area or it will not automatically place the size/length.

[@victorrascon1716]

Thank you! Do you know if it's possible to change the background color?

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Hi, Victor. Great question! Unfortunately, at this time only the background can be changed in the Render environment. The animation workspace is still pretty limited, not sure if they have plans to further develop it anytime soon as the priorities seem to be Design and Manufacture workspaces. Cheers, Kevin :)

Hi, is it possible to manually explode an object for 100mm instead of using scale option? Is it possible to explode an object in three directions at same time (in that way i can move it freely in x,y,z coordinate system)?

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Hi Petar. Unfortunately you would have to manually do that at this time.

[@jryer1]

@Kevin - Since animation only works with components, not bodies, my question is; If I build a component, can F360 still generate G-code for my CNC milling operations? thanks!!

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Hi Getis. Yes, that is correct - components can be used in the Manufacture (CAM) environment. In fact, it's actually best you have components. I would recommend watching my video that covers bodies vs components - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iquqY5ebetGKp6s It clears up some of the confusion around them :)

[@jryer1]

@@ProductDesignOnline Much appreciated. Watching it now!

[@Alomphega]

Clear an useful are the words which come to my mind when I think to your tutorials Kevin, thank you very much ! One question about the animation side : you say rightly Fusion 360 may not be the right tool for complex animations, and of course you are right, but is it possible to animate some basic behaviors, like for instance here the tank going forward with its wheel rolling, and the tower turning right and left ?

[@BrianBoniMakes]

Can you animate the motion of joints? I'd like to show how something I just made works.

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Hi Brian. Great question! The Animation workspace does not currently recognize joint constraints. Please check out this Autodesk knowledge article for more details/possible solutions: knowledge.autodesk.com/support/fusion-360/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-animate-joints-in-Fusion-360.html Cheers, Kevin :)

[@BrianBoniMakes]

@@ProductDesignOnline Thanks for looking that up for me, it's what I already do. I've learned to turn up the display settings to make it look the best and tidy up the workspace and make a screen recording with Quicktime.

[@ProductDesignOnline]

@@BrianBoniMakes Not sure how much the resolution matters for your needs... but you may want to use Screenflow 8 or Camtasia, would could give you a higher quality output than Quicktime. Cheers, Kevin :)

[@woogie959]

Is there a way to play the video in reverse... showing how the product is assembled?

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Right-click on a Storyboard and select Copy, then right-click again and select Paste. Notice that the Storyboard was duplicated. You can now right-click and select Reverse. All of the actions in the storyboard reverse, giving you the opposite animation. Hope that helps!

Hi Reinaldo. Are you saying that your "Video Options" dialog only had the AVI option? If so, that is strange, it should have .mp4 as well. I'm honestly not sure what would cause that to be missing.

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Hi, Spencer. I'm glad you enjoyed the series and learned a lot - thanks for following along. Unfortunately, you can only render motion links. Fusion 360 does not currently have the ability to combine a render and these full timeline animations. Cheers, Kevin :)

Hey, :) Stunning. Someday, I too will be able to do (understand) this. :°)

Hey, 4FunRC. The Animation Workspace is not the most intuitive... it certainly takes some "playing around" with to get used to it. If you think you'll utilize it for any product/assembly animations then it's definitely worth the effort. Thanks for your continued support! Cheers, Kevin :)

Can u make a video of designing any vehicle like a car, tank etc. if you can. And also suggest what all should we know in fusion 360 to design the tank u did. Tell how you did the body and the tires

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Hi, vaasanthass k. To design curvature of a car you will want to "master" the surface modeling tools that are all found under the "Surface" tab in the new toolbar UI. These surface tools let you focus on the exterior curvature, without worrying about the thickness until later on. For something like this take, you can complete it using the Solid modeling tools. It was created using the loft and sweep and extrude commands for almost all of its features. The key is to break it down into achievable sections that you can recreate with simple geometry. Cheers, Kevin :)

[@MrsGynny]

Hey Kevin, thank you so much for this great series! I really enjoyed it and learned a lot so I can finally leave FreeCAD and use this way better program now! Great to have people like you :) I have one question: let's say I have modelled a pen and also modelled a text that the pen is supposed to write. I am able to let the pen move along the text but I want to make the text appear piece by piece as the pen moves along. How would I do that or what do I have to search for? I've been searching online but it seems that I am not using the right words... Thank you!

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Hi, MrsGynny. First, thanks for taking the time to follow along with the series! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it and learned a lot. In regards to the pen animation, I'm afraid that Fusion 360's animation workspace is not the best solution for what you're trying to achieve. Fusion 360's animation workspace is fairly limited. It was built more for the presentation of design ideas...to show how a model works or was built. Therefore, there aren't really any features that let you make additions to the surrounding environment. You may be better off exporting your Fusion 360 built pen model into another program, such as Blender or 3Ds Max. Those programs will give you a lot more creative freedom to achieve what you're describing above. Cheers, Kevin :)

[@MrsGynny]

@@ProductDesignOnline thanks for the quick reply! I was thinking of blender as well as an alternative. Stupid question but what kind of format should I export my objects to make them useable in blender?

Can you still get fusion 360 free

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Hi Larry. Yes, you can still get Fusion 360 for free. Anyone can sign up for the startup/hobbyist license for free, as long as you are making less than 100k per year from Fusion 360. The license is valid for 1 year, but you can renew it each year. Cheers, Kevin :)

Love it!!! Super helpful video Thx!

I am enjoying a lot following your series and also doing them simultaneously.

Hi, vaasanthass k. Glad to hear you enjoyed the series and that you were able to complete the projects as well. Thanks for following along! Cheers, Kevin :)

Hi Kevin, Just finished your 30 days beginners playlist. The best tutorials I came across. What a nice surprise after my earlier experience in ACAD KZbin video's (long time ago). Well structured and well explained without unnecessary detailing. Thank you so much. What will be your advice for the next step in my case knowing that my interest lies in mainly mechanical designs, CNC and 3D printing?

[@blahblahblah9175]

Hey! I'm having a confusion on where to start the videos from...the firs couple of videos are about user interface...are these videos in order in the playlist?

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Yes! Check out the playlist tab where you'll find the old 30 days series and the new one (separate playlist)

[@pieterlombard1994]

Thank you for the 30 day course. You are an excellent teacher.

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Thanks, Pieter! Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers, Kevin :)

Another Serious Problem! Yet another file we cant download?????

[@ProductDesignOnline]

I'm merging all my files to one Fusion 360 account so the links got messed up. Please be patient as I fix them. I have. A lot of files to manage :)

[@rsjbarker]

Fantastic series. I'll be following all your other series too. Thanks Kevin.

[@alfonsinho74]

Thank you so much for your hard work and effort to do these videos which are great and very clear. I cann't think of anything you could do "better", it seems to me that the videos are perfect as they are. I hope you will reach 100'000 plus suscriptions or more in no time. thank you again.

[@avelinileva]

TOP tutorial! Thank you!

[@zorayrhakobyan3362]

Dear Kevin, thank you for great fusion 360 videos. They are really helpful and clear to understand. One question, could you do step-by-step tutorial how to model this tank or something like that? Thanks in advance.

[@ahamatibrahimhassan3265]

thank you a lot to make this possible Mr Kevin , it been wonderful experience to finish successfully this serie with you in just two weeks. I am very happy with the way you explain us . Thank you again

[@JRamone266]

Thank you so much for this series! It has really helped me get a hang of Fusion 360.

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Thanks for watching! Glad to hear it's been helpful :)

[@Dsk001]

Really good and informative video. Now I feel the need to go back to some of my designs on thingiverse and make assembly animations.

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Thanks, Dsk! You should! The Animation Workspace is often overlooked in Fusion 360... but it can be pretty fun to play around with. Cheers, Kevin :)

[@Dsk001]

@@ProductDesignOnline so I went ahead and made the animations, thanks to your video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eV7XaqyHYs-kh5I

[@ProductDesignOnline]

@@Dsk001 Thanks for sharing this! Awesome job! I'm going to share this on Facebook :)

[@brandonstevens6886]

Thank you so much for the explanation! I could not find this information anywhere else for free. Keep up the good work!

[@cyrusmobini1321]

Thank You for the series, Now I will be starting one of your other playlists. Just something that bugs me a lot about the animation making is that it doesn't allow to move the components based on the joins. It gets so annoying when you want to animate how something works but you can only explode them. I hope soon they add a feature like "motion study" from assemble menu to animation page.

[@tomjoad1060]

Cannot download the tank to follow along with the video. Maybe you can place that file in another location?
