Helped a lot, i love this guys attitude and always come back to his channel when i feel like taking a recap or learning something new. From all the material on youtube about fusion i think his material is the best.When i start up my fusion i always think of silly Lars and immediately get excited to start modelling. Still working my way through all your content so please don't stop uploading new content. Keep up the good work and being a great asset to autodesk!

[@scottgriswold384]

Hi Lars, I came upon this video when I was working on a small project and began to realize I was having difficult managing what sketches went with what components. I had started out doing everything in the main component and then moved the bodies out to their own components. Now I fully understand the structure and realize why "Rule #1 exists." Thanks for the great videos.Having you as a guide truly makes me want to delve deeper into Fusion360.

[@cadcamstuff]

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

[@joetke]

Thank you Lars! the best intro around. Instructive, useful, helpful. All's still relevant after 3 years! congratulations!

[@beljunk]

After working with Fusion for over a year, I still need to rewatch so many of these awesome videos to fix confusions I have. Thank you so much for having all of these online.

[@cadcamstuff]

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

[@Akya2120]

Thank you. This makes Fusion make way more sense. I was missing something big coming from AutoCAD and I knew it, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. This will help me be way more proficient with Fusion 360!

[@bradwynwestwood5127]

Always love your videos, you are a great teacher. Thank you!

[@johnvodopija1743]

I watched this video after watching one of your earlier tutorials on the same topic and it all makes sense now. Good job 👍🏻😎🇦🇺

[@andreojuegosyestrategia1266]

Man, you are the best! I just started a online course on Fusion last night and the instructor reference to your vids and I glad I look at your channel. You explain it very well I understand perfectly what you said and I more encouraged now about creating 3D models. It took just this video for you to show me the big big potential and power this software have, and same applies to your channel. I will be learning from you too. Thank you very much. Keep doing this please and let me know if there anything I can do to help you. Blessings

[@DennisFinntrolletHyttinen]

Love your videos. When I get stuck at something, I can always scan through your clips and find the tip to solve my issue. :) Great work!

[@MuratIsikHome]

Thank you for the quality and clarity. You have made me a Fusion360 fan.

[@geraldmunro9682]

Thanks Lars. Was confused about components but this has made it clear for me. Excellent.

[@airrun76]

I think you did a great job explaining it simply and thoroughly. As someone who is a newbie at Fusion, it can be over-whelming. Thank you for making these videos for us to freely watch. Thumbs up.

[@TimPiggott]

An extremely helpful tutorial for a complete newbie! Thank you so much! 💝

[@jamesharrison5004]

These are the best F360 videos going.

[@terjegjerstad9692]

Now I understand difference. Very good explained. You are a very good teacher.

[@catastrophicfella]

This actually clears things up for me from the 2016 version of this explanation - so thnak you!

[@CharmPeddler]

Lars! You are the MAN!! Thank you for explain so many of my questions in one video. So much help!

[@ClemMorton]

Thanks. That was helpful. Just starting out and just seeing someone doing this has clarified questions I didn't even know I had yet. So yeah, solved a lot of problems before they happened. You earned a sub for this. :)

[@yannickwild5635]

Thank you very much for the help! Needed this to make drawings for each components of a big structure.

[@drewsmith3443]

Best description of differences I’ve seen, thanks so much.

[@Karmann63]

Thanks Lars. I have been working as a design engineer for 18 years in several different 3D software. SolidWorks for the last 5 years. I've just now started learning Fusion on my spare time and you make the transition alot easier with all your videos :) Regards Morten from Norway

[@kobyki1374]

Amazing Tutorial, you make it so easy to understand. Thank you so much.

[@OLLE3770]

Finally. I'm a beginner to Fusion 360 and I realized (again) the truth is "you" have to watch a lot of videos, tutorials, and do a lot of "own" work to get it (while during the process being utterly confused and totally convinced You'll never get it). The old quote "You can't make things easier than they are" fits this topic. Guess I was at the right point in my learning curve to fully appreciate this. Finally I have a mental picture of what assemblies, components and bodies are - what rule ONE actually means, and where sketches fit in and how you can make the most out of the time-line. And not to forget; if you share your design it will be easier to work with if rules are obeyed. Well done Sir.

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you 👍😊

[@whatisahandleeee]

Man, you are a really great teacher. Thank you very much.

[@nightfighter78]

Thank you for all of your tutorial videos on Fusion 360. You have good touch and sense on teaching. It is easy to jump to any of your tutorials as you explain all the things you do. I have spend numerous of hours watching your videos. Thumbs up !

[@cadcamstuff]

That is so awesome to hear Jussi Kakko .Thank you for watching the videos!! Hope you have an awesome day!

[@garywolfe434]

You help me out much. I spend more time with you then my wife and kids, HaHa. Others can learn how to do videos from you. I had a lot of trouble with bodies and components until I watched your video several times. You crack me up some times. Thank you.

[@matt818]

Thank you Lars. You are my Teacher for Fusion and I feel very lucky!

[@markenomoto]

Great! Very useful given I'm a newbie to not only Fusion but CAD as well. Long time Sketchup user but now taking the full-on plunge!

[@edwardvivanco1090]

Your explanation was very clear and concise. I enjoyed the video. Thanks!

[@nickgraveley]

Brilliant explanations! Just starting Fusion360 today, but so far so good!

[@Mancavedweller1]

Great tutorial, thanks. Really would not have had a clue about this subject without such an explanatory video.

[@ben47g51]

Thanks! Your presentation helped me make sense out of many issues.

[@JD-kf2ki]

I really like basic lessons like this. I'm new to Fusion.

[@namesake7169]

always learns more than I came for. thank u.

[@shonesurendran5337]

Thanks! So very useful to have such a clear and easy going orientation.

[@diariodeuncanalizador1536]

[@redacherradi6270]

the best teacher in the history of youtube thanks a lot I appreciate all that u do for us am learning like a turtle or grandma and u just good for me

[@clevo12]

Hi Lars. Thank you for the video. Finally, someone made it clear. But, I would like to ask you if it is possible to tide up a timeline when I've started doing my project just random and now my timeline is one big mess. Thank you

[@kingbillybob]

This is my second or third time watching this. I use Inventor in my job, and I have years of technique I use that are not in any books. I am trying to use Fusion 360 because I have access to it through my subscription, and I have a boatload of time thanks to COVID19. I do cringe every time you say Inventor's way of doing things is old fashion. I suppose it is because I see advantages to some of what I can do in Inventor, that I haven't found a substitute way of doing in Fusion. I did check out the joint command in Inventor since I have no choice but to learn it in Fusion, and Inventors version isn't exactly the same, slightly less functionality. I believe I am far enough along now that I won't get discouraged and put Fusion back on the shelf. I couldn't have figured it out without your videos, so thanks for your time invested in making quality videos like this.

[@williamdavis2073]

Fantastic explanation. I’m new to fusion 360 and to 3d modelling and am finding your videos really helpful. I’m even starting to make some items now!!!

[@cadcamstuff]

Awesome to hear. Thank you for watching 👍😊

[@btsss]

Good video Lars. I got it! Thanks for the lessons.

[@blankprofile9327]

Hi, is there any way I can move a hole I’ve already made on a copied body? I’m doing a project which has four legs coming off a Center box, the holes to mount it all together and two of the legs have a 5mm holes 50 mm down and the other two have 5 holes 60 mm down I’ve made one leg at the 50 mm copied to get the second but unsure how to get the third and fourth without designing another leg from scratch

[@JeffSoldan-ii4fz]

Thanks I've watched a few on the same subject this made more sense of the concept

[@keithwurtz8554]

Boy you do such a great job. Keep up the great work

[@Bisikletrehberin]

Explained perfectly. I recommend you to watch all the videos of Lars Christensen.

[@ceylonin7289]

18:15 when you want to use components vs bodies

[@zomgbot314]

Doing God's work, thanks!

[@DennisMurphey]

excellent, I needed this to build my project out better. Should have followed the conduit box, I was missing all this logic. Thks Lars Great Job,

[@tusharg21tube]

Your explanation style is amazing! You fit in the critical missing pieces of a jigsaw puzzle! Keep making such videos!

[@cadcamstuff]

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

[@alainterieur6889]

Thank you very much Lars. Your tutorial are so clear!

[@theroboticscodedepot7736]

Great job. I was confused by bodies, sketches and components but now I'm clear.

[@MrNursi]

Good to have you back Lars. Very clearly explained again, sorted out a few questions for me.

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you MrNursi

[@williamlueschen3789]

I'm a retired SW user and Lars videos are so very helpful. At first Fusion 360 is like a foreign language. However it is becoming exciting moving forward.

[@Sacster001]

G'day Lars. I was put onto your videos by a friend and have spent the last 2 days watching them. You sir, are a legend. I started with 123D Design, and probably because of that, have not been using F360 to anywhere near its full potential. I've learnt more in a couple of days watching your videos than I've figured out in the last 12 months. Thanks very much for your work and the way you present your information.

[@cadcamstuff]

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

[@josephlaverty4303]

This clears up so much! Thank you.

[@bobsamuel1567]

Lars, Excellent explanation of an intrinsically confusing aspect of Fusion 360 workflow. In my limited experience with this software, one needs to follow along using two screens. One screen running your tutorial, the other running Fusion 360 to replicate your explanation on. Seeing, listening and doing works well, at least for me. Thanks again, Bob

[@Gallardo6669]

Omg. Awesome. And your are a darn good teacher Lars, thx Soo much!!!!

[@Maverick7r]

Great video, thanks for the great explaination and tutorial!! :)

[@cadcamstuff]

You are so very welcome 👍😊Thank you for watching

[@RaviKaroria]

Wonderful presentation. I am beginner to Fusion 360. Now I can clearly understand the body and component which is essential to build a machine design.

[@cadcamstuff]

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

[@alexanderburkert3167]

Lars...thanks for the video, but the main question remais...when do I really need BODY and when I do component, why I cant add a HOLE form the HOLE function menu? Or Am I doing something wrong?

[@jontyhofer6106]

Love your way of communicating with us. Very simple and straightforward. Am new from 2d cad and loving this fusion360 more and more

[@cadcamstuff]

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

Perfectly explained- thanks a million.

[@nourimehran]

thank you for your clear explaination . It was very helpful and i learned a lot. tnx

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Thanks Lars for explaining how to remove the grid lines. This one has bugged me since I have been watching your videos. Now do you have a video that shows how to find a dimension error or warning and how to go back and correct it? On the DiResta table I got to using the Colliear feature and on the last side it wouldn't work and gave me the warning? Stuck on that one to complete the table. Please help! Tim

[@user-pw5zc5zs2v]

Thanks Lars! Lots of useful information.
