Getting Started with Fusion 360 Part 4 - Modeling Tools, Cutting Holes, and Removing Material!

In this video, we continue our series on getting started with Fusion 360 by talking about some of the more advanced tools you can use for modeling in Fusion 360, like sweeps, lofting, and more! PLUS, we talk about how you can remove material from objects, cut holes, and add threading to those holes all in Fusion 360!

best instructor ever

Love your teaching style. Coming from Sketchup (I learned that from you too), you make the software comprehensible quickly. For example, I did not understand the concept that Fusion is mostly a solid modeler, and how that works, until you spelled it out with very practical examples. Great work my friend!

Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions about any of the tools we talked about in this video in the comments below! :)

[@nochox]

So useful

[@oregonmortensen]

Very very useful - thanks a lot 😀

[@not4younot4you70]

Keep it up! This is very informative

Im having trouble with sketches not becoming closed when completing a polygon. usually a sketch becomes light blue and able to select when complete but its staying clear for me. A video with issues like this and other beginning lessons would be great. Thanks

I don’t know if it’s any faster, but when I need to sketch something on a plane in the middle of a cylinder, I create two tangent planes on both sides of the cylinder, then create a midplane between them.

I have a CNC Plasma cutter. I was wondering if I can draw out and object and flatten it with fusion 360. I would put relief cut to help identify the bend points. Such as a bumper or fire pit.

Hi, thanx for your video, is very interesting. I'd like to ask you how to find the middle in una flat surface. I'd like to cut material exactly in the middle of one vertical surface from left to right. i did the sketch but i don't know how to put in the middle. I have to find and put one line? i don't like this way. Thx

I am trying to create a duct having a parallelogram profile at one end and a circular profile at the other. I linked the central axis of both with a straight line - acting as the rail. I wanted the finished part to be hollow with a 5 mm thick wall all along the model. All I can get from the loft tool is a completely solid body. Is it not possible to use the loft tool in this way or am I missing something ? If anyone has any suggestions I would be pleased to hear from them.

Your videos have been super helpful! Just one question, ive been trying to make a X-pipe in fusion. It's basically 2 slightly bent pipes connected by the outer sides (they share their volumes basically) if u get what i mean. Would it be something that you could do for a video?

[@mattagnew206]

Like in a car exhaust?

[@metsavend112]

@@mattagnew206 yes

[@user-ot4wp4mz6l]

Da friq this is completely unrelated

[@darrellkc48]

good tutorials, thanks. However, you seem to have your views set up with Z down, instead of up. How do I set up my free version to match the orientation you are using?

[@god1aj]

messing around with the numbers after finishing the shelf in fusion and the shelf does some weird stuff when you add some numbers in, like the sides of the shelf will separate. Then its just the shelves, or its one wall and the shelves. not sure why it does this.

[@SwanRonson199]

That's probably the coolest baseboard I've ever seen and it took you like 4 seconds...

[@TheFusionEssentials]

I'd put it in my house! :)

[@schawn4925]

I seen every fusion video on KZbin. You are the best.

Another outstanding video from Justin that I have saved as a go-to reference and have frequently watched. I am a rookie still with skills at about a 3 on a 1 to 10 scale. Justin's videos have easily taken me to a 3 from a 1, and I cannot wait for that needle to move when I watch his more advanced offerings. I am designing my irrigation and landscaping in our back yard and this has helped SO MUCH with getting an actual visual of what I need to do. I also use Fusion for designing 3D printed parts, and soon, wood working projects. Thank you Justin!! Your videos are a real blessing!!👍👍👍

[@stephenbrady298]

These arnt bad but you're still just doing actions and selecting options with out actually explaining where to find them, it makes your 18 minute lesson in to 45 minutes of skipping back to see what your doing so I cam do it to follow. Also you entirely skipped making the curved line using the loft, the video jumps from not there to there and your still explaining as if this is a refresher for people who know and not a beginners tutorial
