Out of the top 5 videos I saw for this program yours was by far the most thorough. You explained the controls themselves which is what was tripping me up. The other guys would jump right in to "Ok let make this object." They would briefly describe projects, and how to save your file, but wouldn't describe the controls themselves. Thank you for breaking this down and being thorough.
I agree with this. spent a great chunk of my day yesterday getting lost on small things in the previous tutorials. this is much better if you're getting your hands on for the first time
I have been toying with 360 for 5 years with troubles. I finally bought the subscription for my business and an employee who knows how to use it. You speak my language of learning, whatever language that is. THANK YOU SO MUCH, the first 15 min. have been sooooo helpful. I am looking forward to all your videos here!!!
I am SO glad to see you've refreshed your "Beginner" videos ... which was great (the best, actually) for getting me started many years ago. Since I haven't been using Fusion for awhile, this is the perfect refresher for me, so a hearty "Thanks".
I don't comment on videos often, but I have to say - this tutorial was amazing. Crystal clear, straight to the point but also not skipping over details. I am so happy to have found your videos and I will be going over your Fusion 360 beginner playlist over the next several days to learn the basics and hopefully start designing my own models for 3D printing!
I am positively impressed and grateful for your willingness to help rookies like me understand the intricacies of Fusion 360. Very well presented and easy to follow. 👍
Your tutorials on CG Essentials were always my go-to resource when learning Blender. Now that I'm getting into 3d printing, Fusion 360 comes highly recommended as a modeling tool. So, I was so pleased to stumble onto these tutorials for Fusion. Your manner of presenting concepts in a clear, understandable way is great. Keep up the great work.
As a engineering student, I've heard that Fusion 360 was a great tool to use, but I was afraid to do so because I thought it was complex. I've used it before, but I needed a bit more than a refresher. This helps a ton for what I need to do, Thank you.
This is the best introductory video on Fusion 360 that I've found. I've been manhandling Tinkercad for the last 5 years and decided to join the big kids with Fusion 360. This video helped a TON. Thank you!
You have saved me so much time. I'm new to Fusion and trying to create my own projects for 3D printing. This has been a life and time saver for me for making useful and simple things. Thank you sir. Liked and subscribed.
I so much enjoyed this part 1. I have tried other tutorials and constantly got lost. I appreciate you going into the more detail of what you click on etc. I did have a problem following you in one part, the dowel. After many failures, I finally got it to work but I don't understand how. I guess what I don't understand is how you selected the hole (circle). I hope you can clear that up for me or direct me to where I could get a better understanding of this. You have the best instruction I have yet found and I plan to stay with you as my primary instructional video. Thanks
It took me a few minutes of playing around to figure out what happened here too. At 14:27 he sets Sketch1 to visible. Once you do that, the middle of the circle will become selectable and you can use the extrusion tool like he shows at 19:10.
Wow, Thank you so much. I am an AutoCAD and Solid Works guy, I've always had a "mental block" to learning Fusion 360. This video has certainly removed the entry level barrier for me.
You just convinced me to use Fusion 360 for my modeling hobby. I have been using AutoCAD LT for 20 years as a commercial foodservice designer, so Fusion 360 has similar operations and processes. I will be downloading the program and then following your fine tutorial.
Thank You , one thing i hate is when someone makes a video and says FOR BEGINNERS and its not ,,it is what you said and i probably will watch it again , its what i was looking for . thanks again
Hey Justin, thank you for providing free access and indexing such great education. Your earlier vidoes were some of the only useful Fusion videos I could find for many years as a beginner,
I use a metrology program called Polyworks at work. While it has a completely different purpose, there are slight similarities. I enjoyed learning how to use it and it had made me become more interested in Fusion for designing my own ideas. I downloaded the free version, and this video really helped me learn the basics. Looking forward to watching your other videos.
I have completely maxed out tinkercad's capabilities and I am finally sitting down and learning fusion360. This was amazingly helpful and I am kicking myself for not jumping ship sooner!
As a complete beginner, this is by far my favorite series on this software! My main question is - is there anything different I should be doing if I am mainly creating objects for 3D printing as opposed to woodworking (or other forms of manufacturing?) Such as: Should I still be creating new bodies for different "parts" of my files - or should I be joining them? Thanks again for the great tutorials!
Great timing on starting this series, I'm just getting started in Fusion 360, so thank you! Could you do a future video on making boxes with finger joints and how to deal with the Kerf? Also any design help with other laser cut projects.
Thank you. I've seen many tutorials for different 3D software. This one is the best. Finally, I can learn Fusion and start modeling.Subscribed and liked
Great video, at first fusion does not seem intuitive at all, but I think with just watching the first video of yours , it does become more intuitive. So hopefully by binge watching your videos, while doing it on my laptop, I’ll be able to make some simple objects for my 3d printer 🙏🏻
Hey just wanted to say thank you for the content. I watched one of your other series' to get started about a month ago when i got into 3d printing and making functional prints. It helped alot to follow your content.
Thank you for your tutorials. They are very helpful. I learned a lot from the ones you have for SketchUp and now that I want to learn Fusion 360 I'm glad to see you also have tutorials for Fusion 360 as well.
I've tried a few other tutorials and felt like they were missing steps or not explaining what just happened. Frustrating. This? I learned more in the first 15 minutes than in all the other tutorials I tried. Thanks for such a great product!
I don't understand why my extrude command gives me an arrow opposite from yours. To extrude in the same direction, front to back, I put a negative before the distance. Not on all the extrudes, just the ones on the first part, the first end piece and later the dowel.
Hopefully, you figured it out by now, but in case you didn't: Go to your left side that lists all the sketches, select 'Sketch1'. On the left side, there is what looks like a little eye. You need to click on that to make the sketch visible and then you'll see the center dot in the middle of the hole. Hope that helps. Hutch
Keep them coming. I'm a sponge. I think the main issue I have with Fusion is that its hard to understand how intuitive it is. I overthink the the things i need to do to get what I want. I come from old cad/cam software.
Thanks for the intro, I'm just dipping my toes into Fusion for the first time, having dabbled with FreeCAD and not much enjoying it. Fusion looks a lot slicker and intuitive. (It should do!) Question: 15:51 What's the advantage of keeping each sketch/extrusion as a separate body rather than joining them?
THANK YOU! I have been thinking of starting to learn this for hobby projects, and have been frustrated until now. I use a Cricut, and the software is very similar to Windows....but fusion is a more professional tool that needs some work. I sat, watched and have been able to create what I want to draw, well started to anyway.
The most frustrating thing about Fusion is nothing seems to work for me like what is demonstrated. @21:30 When I click the inside face of the object, then try to create a sketch for the wall, I cannot get the line to continue past the 2nd point. I click to place the first point, enter 3/4 for the length, the tool asks to specify the next point, when I click, the line ends. I'm not able to continue the line, it doesn't say specify the next point like it did when i created the first sketch. I must have accidentally turned something off that allows me to continue the line to create a shape, but I have no idea what. I've searched forums and no one else seems to have this issue. Any ideas?
Thanks for the video. I just downloaded 360. Even though this is my first experience with cad software, it seems very intuitive but your playlist will save me tons of time. Liked and subscribed!
Thanks for the great tutorial. I was only having one small issue. When i go to create the dowel and extrude it, its extruding the entire top all of the way across and not just the circle even though i only have the circle selected..
What caused me a problem was at about 18:24, the rectangle tool is used to carefully mark out the EXTREME corners, but then a little later, when performing the extrude, the 'missing long rectangular section also has to be selected to obtain the full base. The words used are "make sure that I've picked up this face as well", which I missed on a couple of viewings. The question is why ?
I got tripped up on the same thing. Why didn't it just grab the whole thing when you select the rectangle? I'm so brand new to this that I may not even be asking the right question. In any case, @koshkakk, thanks for your comment; you saved me from flunking the first tutorial!
Great instructional video! I do have one question. I have a 4k monitor and the grid lines are hard to see. In prefs under drawing I maxed out the setting but no decernable difference, am I missing something to get darker grid lines? thanks again for you support.
Great video. Might I suggest including design concepts for beginners. For example, Why separate "Bodies?" Why not "Join" as a selection as you add to your model.
man you are a ducking legend thank you for this video it was very nicely explained you saved my ass i had to model a piece of machine for my project under 6h u saved me
i must be having same issue, the bottom square lines are all black, but when i deleted the triangles center line, it made the triangle lines blue... and aft5er making the circle for the dowel, both that circle and the top square/bottom triangle line is red??? ... Idk i followed the dudes instructions... not sure
Very new to Fusion so appreciate you making these tutorials. Have been able to follow mostly. Currently can’t highlight the hole to extrude the handle. Fusion keeps grabbing the whole side, so not sure what I’m doing wrong. Any ideas?
I had the same problem. After a bit of trial and error, I found out that the sketch for the end side was not visible and therefore the hole could not be selected. Once I made it visible it worked. Hopefully it solves the problem for you too.
Hello That was a very good video Kindly reply I'm unable to do one thing that is I'm unable to extrude the circle. Kindly tell me what is the reason When I give the extrude command, there is no way of selecting the circle for extruding
great video, helped me get started to design in Fusion 360, so far find a bit easier to use than onshape that i was using before, still trying to find some functions as they located in different menus. but hope it will only get easier for me
What we're gonna do is we're gonna say how helpful this is. What we're gonna do is we're gonna appreciate the help you've provided. What we're gonna do is we're gonna practice this ourselves. What we're gonna do is we're gonna have a beer every time you say "What we're gonna do is we're gonna". What we're gonna do is we're gonna say how drunk I am after 4 minutes.
thx for the video, great starting point. a few remarks as a millimeter user I can still type 1,5" and get the awkward length that is 1.5 inches as I had to repeatedly jump back and forth, chapter marks would have been helpful... also why not mention the fusion version somewhere easy to find for future watchers ? things change and videos unfortunately do not autoupdate... 👍
Great tutorial. I am trying find a good program to start with. I am a 3D printer and want to design my own designs, without depending on Thingiverse which i can find a object that suites my purpose. Love how you walkthrough the steps. Thank you
This Might be me getting ahead of myself. And maybe you did it this way to show the tools better. But I found once I had one wall and one side I merged the two objects and them duplicated them and rotated them/moved them until they moved into each other such that I mirrored the shape and had both sides and the front and the back. Is there a reason not to do this?
This looks like the tutorials I've been hoping for. Thank you. I'm having an issue where I can't see/edit the dimensions of a sketch. Is there a state where sketches can get in where they no longer offer the menu item "show dimensions"? Is there a reason when I can get the menu item to show, it doesn't seem to show the dimensions?
Thanks. Coming over from SketchUp Make 2017 lol. Do you have to group all those components prior to exporting as STL or is it clever enough to realize that is the intention?
@@TheFusionEssentials Thank you for the reply, but that's not what I meant. It's just so complicated to try to keep up with inches and feet; you don't really get a sense of the size. But thanks, otherwise, really good videos.
Barely starting video, and Im wondering if youre going to cover 'revisiting settings'. Lets say I finished doing some adjustments to any parameter, how would I go back to that settings to adjust. I had issues doing that in another video tutorial. I didnt know how to adjust a mistake without ctr + z.
I think your video is awesome, well done and very good detail. I do have a question for you, When I make the bottom of the tool box, mine has to go in the negative direction because the front, back and sides are all touching the ZERO place if you will, the ground so to speak. somehow in your video it did not do that to you, is this an issue for example if I wanted to 3D print this? seems to me like a big problem as the printer head would be told to start printing below the printing plate? or am I thinking too deep about it? no pun intended.
I agree and support all the compliments said by others in their comm and I have some questions: you said to always select New Body and not Join. What is the reason for that? Is it specific to this project only? I, for e.g., need to make an enclosure (box + lid) for 3D printing with different material and/or vacuum casting. When is it ok to join the sketches?
Cool job, man, thanks for restarting the series about the Fusion 360. And hey, if may I ask - could you recomment the best way how to work with F360 from the step review perspective? Meaning - I could "hard code" measurements of an object, but through the parameters in project I could just call the parameter and in case of a change, I can just change it in there and I don't need to go step by step in the timeline to change it. Hope it makes sense. I am kind of interested in those features and hints.
Yup - this is something I'm interested in learning more about anyway - I've really only done this the manual way, but I know there's a lot more power under the hood for this kind of thing
Really great video, it's helped a lot in taking the first steps into starting to use the software. Can I ask, when extruding you mention to change the default operation from 'join' to 'new body' is this to ensure that you have control over editing the individual elements in future? or is it more difficult to edit 'joined' geometry? - Are you able to change these defaults to your own preferences? Thank you :)
Its good to see your back, fusion 360 has the add on Nifty dog bone, are you planning any future vids using such addons as this would be good as a project to laser cut parts and assemble etc.
Great content. You make it easy to understand. I am just getting going with using Fusion 360 for my woodworking and am in the market now for an X Carve Pro. Do you or will you have any content on how to go from Fusion 360 into Easel Pro so I can cut on an X Carve Pro? Thanks in advance.
A problem I have always had when starting with new programs is where all the files go. How do you organize a project etc? That seems to me the place to start. I have used Fusion 360 and can make sketches and create bodies. But I keep losing stuff because I don't understand the organization of stuff.
Hi man, I am checking your video and I like that Fusion 360 seems very easy to use....I have a mac now but when I had a windows machine I used to use Caligari Truespace 7.5 with Vray, super super easy and can create great renderings, I use 3d for exhibition stands, interiors and exteriors...I don't know if you know TrueSpace but if you do...do you think Fusion 360 is a good alternative to TrueSpace? as I said, I'm on mac and I cannot longer use truespace and I don't want to use a VM. Cheers mate
Hi, why when I add the wood colour some of the edges don't colour in? Like the wall of the tool chest is now wood but the top of the wall is still grey and it wont let me select appearance when I right click. Thanks
Out of the top 5 videos I saw for this program yours was by far the most thorough. You explained the controls themselves which is what was tripping me up. The other guys would jump right in to "Ok let make this object." They would briefly describe projects, and how to save your file, but wouldn't describe the controls themselves.

Agreed. "Make the object" is useless if you don't know how to first navigate its canvas.

Actually, just figured it out. On the side under "Sketches" click on the "eye" icon to view it
Set video to 0.75x and didn't need to pause once ; was able to follow along. Thanks!
great video, helped me get started to design in Fusion 360, so far find a bit easier to use than onshape that i was using before, still trying to find some functions as they located in different menus. but hope it will only get easier for me
What we're gonna do is we're gonna say how helpful this is. What we're gonna do is we're gonna appreciate the help you've provided. What we're gonna do is we're gonna practice this ourselves. What we're gonna do is we're gonna have a beer every time you say "What we're gonna do is we're gonna". What we're gonna do is we're gonna say how drunk I am after 4 minutes.
Sorry I guess?
just started mechanical drafting this semester so this is perfect thanks
thx for the video, great starting point. a few remarks
as a millimeter user I can still type 1,5" and get the awkward length that is 1.5 inches
as I had to repeatedly jump back and forth, chapter marks would have been helpful...
also why not mention the fusion version somewhere easy to find for future watchers ?
things change and videos unfortunately do not autoupdate...
👍
Great tutorial. I am trying find a good program to start with.
I am a 3D printer and want to design my own designs, without depending on Thingiverse which i can find a object that suites my purpose. Love how you walkthrough the steps.
Thank you
Very easy to understand. Was it any problem to extrude the first sketch all the way then make a hole from top to bottom?
This Might be me getting ahead of myself. And maybe you did it this way to show the tools better. But I found once I had one wall and one side I merged the two objects and them duplicated them and rotated them/moved them until they moved into each other such that I mirrored the shape and had both sides and the front and the back. Is there a reason not to do this?
For parametric designs it's a bad idea because it gives you less flexibility to change things going forward.
would I be able to use the personal user license to produce and follow along with the lessons your showing here?
I believe so
This looks like the tutorials I've been hoping for. Thank you.
I'm having an issue where I can't see/edit the dimensions of a sketch. Is there a state where sketches can get in where they no longer offer the menu item "show dimensions"? Is there a reason when I can get the menu item to show, it doesn't seem to show the dimensions?
Thanks. Coming over from SketchUp Make 2017 lol. Do you have to group all those components prior to exporting as STL or is it clever enough to realize that is the intention?
Great videos...But I can't follow cuz I don't understand other then meters, like the rest outside USA

@@TheFusionEssentials Thank you for the reply, but that's not what I meant. It's just so complicated to try to keep up with inches and feet; you don't really get a sense of the size. But thanks, otherwise, really good videos.
You won my subscription. Thank you and please make more videos.
Barely starting video, and Im wondering if youre going to cover 'revisiting settings'. Lets say I finished doing some adjustments to any parameter, how would I go back to that settings to adjust. I had issues doing that in another video tutorial. I didnt know how to adjust a mistake without ctr + z.
So, the "base" of this toolbox is below the plane. Is that gonna be a problem later?
I think your video is awesome, well done and very good detail. I do have a question for you, When I make the bottom of the tool box, mine has to go in the negative direction because the front, back and sides are all touching the ZERO place if you will, the ground so to speak. somehow in your video it did not do that to you, is this an issue for example if I wanted to 3D print this? seems to me like a big problem as the printer head would be told to start printing below the printing plate? or am I thinking too deep about it? no pun intended.
I agree and support all the compliments said by others in their comm and I have some questions: you said to always select New Body and not Join. What is the reason for that? Is it specific to this project only? I, for e.g., need to make an enclosure (box + lid) for 3D printing with different material and/or vacuum casting. When is it ok to join the sketches?
Cool job, man, thanks for restarting the series about the Fusion 360. And hey, if may I ask - could you recomment the best way how to work with F360 from the step review perspective? Meaning - I could "hard code" measurements of an object, but through the parameters in project I could just call the parameter and in case of a change, I can just change it in there and I don't need to go step by step in the timeline to change it. Hope it makes sense. I am kind of interested in those features and hints.
Yup - this is something I'm interested in learning more about anyway - I've really only done this the manual way, but I know there's a lot more power under the hood for this kind of thing
Fyi, make sure you dont deselect your sketch for the circle so you can extrude it. I did and was losing my mind trying to figure it out
Really great video, it's helped a lot in taking the first steps into starting to use the software.
Can I ask, when extruding you mention to change the default operation from 'join' to 'new body' is this to ensure that you have control over editing the individual elements in future? or is it more difficult to edit 'joined' geometry? - Are you able to change these defaults to your own preferences?
Thank you :)
Its good to see your back, fusion 360 has the add on Nifty dog bone, are you planning any future vids using such addons as this would be good as a project to laser cut parts and assemble etc.
I would like to do some add-on videos on the future for sure - I can add this to the list
I just installed Fusion, it's all in mm, how do you flip it to inches? Thank you for the tutorial.
This was SO EASY to understand. Finally!
Great content. You make it easy to understand. I am just getting going with using Fusion 360 for my woodworking and am in the market now for an X Carve Pro. Do you or will you have any content on how to go from Fusion 360 into Easel Pro so I can cut on an X Carve Pro? Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately that's not something I've done before
A problem I have always had when starting with new programs is where all the files go. How do you organize a project etc? That seems to me the place to start. I have used Fusion 360 and can make sketches and create bodies. But I keep losing stuff because I don't understand the organization of stuff.
Subscribed! Great instructions. Thanks for taking the time to explain things along the way!
Awesome, thank you!
hello sir, which one do you recommend for woodworkers - Sketchup or Fusion 360 ?
Wonderful as always!
Greetings from Eastern Arabia 🎉
Thanks for watching!
really helpful. do you have a beginner's playlist?
Hi man, I am checking your video and I like that Fusion 360 seems very easy to use....I have a mac now but when I had a windows machine I used to use Caligari Truespace 7.5 with Vray, super super easy and can create great renderings, I use 3d for exhibition stands, interiors and exteriors...I don't know if you know TrueSpace but if you do...do you think Fusion 360 is a good alternative to TrueSpace? as I said, I'm on mac and I cannot longer use truespace and I don't want to use a VM. Cheers mate
Thanks for taking the time to do this !
Hi, why when I add the wood colour some of the edges don't colour in? Like the wall of the tool chest is now wood but the top of the wall is still grey and it wont let me select appearance when I right click. Thanks
Doing good right up until adding the bar. I can't select the hole and I end up with a roof.
