Hello Lars, I congratulate you on your teaching skills. Following you step by step is a great way to go from zero to capable on such a versatile tool, such as Fusion 360.
a Tip for other beginners; sometimes you just want to work on designing, so put lars on a different monitor. Then while designing play episodes you don't think relates to what your designing, and you will pick up new tricks to use for your projects!
After 5 videos learning from you. I designed my first wireless mini TV frame. Thank you for your amazing brain! I was worry because I came from 123D Design. I thought I had to learn everything again. It's somewhat similar, but Fusion 360 is very powerful when it comes tools and features. I like it! Can wait to tell my friends about you. Now I need to work on my VR mount sensors. Thank you! Beside that, You should be a teacher for college! You are good!
Hey Lars thanks for the great instruction videos I'm learning a lot very quickly. I 3D printed the shop vac tool this morning and it turned out great. I'll have to go back into this project and use some dimensions that will actually work with the shop vacs I currently have.
Hi Lars, I was looking for a video with some 3D softwares lessons and programs and I found you! Now I am learning Fusion360, I am in the 3rd lesson and already made my key, my vaccuum nozzle and a whistle! I am so happy and waiting ansiously to my Ender 3 Pro arrives to make some tests! I´ll keep on learning with you! Thank you so much, you are the best!
Thank you so much for the tutorials. In a week of watching them I have been able to design some cool things in 360 that I will be printing on my CR-10 when it shows up! I really appreciate the help
Hello Lars, Im a newbie on Fusion 360 and have locked myself in my mancave everyday after work away from everything and have learned tons from your videos, I have followed your different videos and using different techniques on constructing my vacuum attachment very similar to your Shop Vac Nozzle, its almost done but have 2 problems, one is to shrink the side faces on back half of the nozzle .125 on each side and to flare out in the middle towards the front. and the second one is to counter bore 2 holes on top, the top of the nozzle is all flared out in different shapes and everytime I use the diamenter circle on top it puts it on the bottom of the part instead of the top which I am unable to simply counter bore the 2 holes, seems to me I should have counter bored before all the flare ups on top?
Lars Christensen, i did, still stumbling around, but hey ya gotta start some where right? Lol, last cad software i used was in middle school tech class 20 years ago now... Just saw in the funnel tutorial, you're in buffalo, if you have not yet, go to amy's place on north main(by u.b. south campus), and get a Mary's Masterpiece! (Extra chicken, extra cheese, or how ever your dietary allows), my favorite meal ever, i miss living up there, but its fun to come back, see friends, a show and the mandatory stop at amy's place.
I've just started using Fusion 360 and have gone through several of your videos. My problem is that I forget about 75% of what you are teaching and then I have to go back and try to figure out where exactly you taught that subject. Would you happen to be writing a Fusion 360 book and/or have an index to the videos? Thanks for the videos btw, so far yours are the only ones I enjoy.
Hi dredre27332 Thank you for watching! I have not written any Fusion books just because I am busy creating videos. I do have a few playlist for you: ua-cam.com/play/PL40d7srwyc_NopbOnJ4IARIvSrTT1pp5m.html ua-cam.com/play/PL40d7srwyc_Mkgc5wvP_OfVel9aDkNkZ6.html Hope you have an awesome day! Best, Lars
Morris tapers are basically the same taper but like you say drill for example there are drills that fall under mt1 mt2 empty three empty four I have an empty 5 drill it's huge so there's no standards there. It would be nice to be able to define a taper over length and store it as a macro where you could just enter it into the taper box as for example mt1 Edward automatically apply that taper. Morris tapers I believe I can't remember for sure but I think they are not as simple as five degree I think they're 1.5° plus some minutes
Hi Lars, I'm a complete beginner to Fusion360 and have found your videos very helpful. Is it possible you could show how to duplicate objects and keep them parallel ? I'm trying to design a crankshaft and need 2 crankwebs to fit on the shaft at a specified distance apart and for them to be identical and parallel. I can sort of duplicate objects but unsure how to specify where the copy will be relative to the original. Many thanks :-)
Excellent video Lars. On Inventor I would have used slice graphics to create the bottom curve is there a way of doing this with fusion as you would then have been able to project the geometry for sketching reference.
re the "Delete" function at 33:00. Watching carefully, I see that "delete" deleted the feature that created the body (i.e. the split function). You can literally see the "split" feature disappear from the end of the chain.
For the guy asking about taking a part out of an assembly. Could you: Take the cabinet file and say you want the door. Open cabinet file and save as 'new name' retaining the original file. Then delete all you don"t need and possibly re-constrain whats needed then save?
Hi Scraggle Roc Thank you for watching! You could just right-click the door in the assembly and select Save Copy. That would save you from having to delete all the other components.
Hi there @lars at 55mins i cant select two faces when i try to select the front face (angled) it selects the whole body then errors out, it is hollowing the part out but will not do the front face any ideas?
i'm doing a LarsLive marathon trying to learn fusion ,Excellent videos :) . a couple of questions: 1) around 41:20 you mentioned that pressing the middle mouse button will open a menu, that's not working for me. the middle mouse let me drag the canvas. can you explain again how it is done ? 2) i started modeling the part in this video in a different orientation then yours and after few sketches i tried to change the orientation ( selecting new "Front" in the cube at the right up side of the screen) to be the same as yours in the video. the orientation changed but any time i open a new sketch it is flipping back to the orientation before the change. is there a way to change that ? your videos are really helpful to get started with the software, thanks
Hi very1v Thank you for watching! I am wrong! I misspoke! Not MIDDLE mouse button...Left mouse button. Sorry for the confusion!!! In regards your second question, I think you would have to go back and change the original sketch plane location instead of the trick with the view cube. That could cause some headaches depending on how the modeling process. Hope you have an awesome day! Best, Lars
hi, I can't do this 46:00 , it says: Error: The operation does not cause a meaningful shape change. Try adjusting the values or changing the input geometry.
Havong an issue: I'm at the point of applying DRAFT. I select the first plane, check, then the right plane, check, but it won't let me add the lefty side? I tried with shift/ option/ control, right or left button. Only can add on plane to Draft? Thanks!
Lars (fellow upstate), I’ve learned all of my 360 skills from you, so thank you! I have been designing and printing things for my house for the past month with great success. But I am now stumped with a simple 2D part to be laser cut that despite hours of playing with it, I cannot get 360 to like the part design(cannot turn entities blue for reasons I don’t understand as they look fully constrained to me), and even creating it (compared to other design tools) seems very klutzy. I’m sure this means I’m doing it wrong, despite it being a very simple design. Is there a way to send the sketch to you? I think this simple thing could make a good but short how to video as it seems to invoke some things that I haven’t found in your other videos? (I have laser cut it, but had to do so with blue lines). Also one other question: should the dxf save include construction lines? Great work!
Hi gowfster1 Thank you for watching! I have come across a few scenarios in Fusion where part of the sketch stays blue. Many times if you have it full constrained, but then project some geometry or something. My rule is (And this might not be the best rule in the world, but...) If I can't drag any sketch entity or corner entity, then I move on to my next task. Because That is what the from blue to black is all about. You are welcome to send me the file, but I am struggling with my inbox at times and I might not have the time to look at it lars.christensen@autodesk.com I am not sure about the dxf export. I would have to test it out
Going through this tutorial again but with the new UI i can't use the hover / middle mouse button to select the profile at time index 41:10. Is this a bug in the new UI? Maybe I need to reboot my PC.
If you click on his name directly under the video and then select the Playlists tab, you will find the Absolute Beginner Livestream Recordings playlist which has all of them packaged in order.
It is only working when you first select the two faces and then click on Modify - Shell. Then you have 2 selected Faces/Bodys in the Shell. Maybe a bug in the later versions.
lars Brand new to fusion still on the trial version in the shell command it will not let me select a plane, only faces is this a limitation on the trail version or do i need to try fusion on my pc instead of my mac. i opened another project and tried to shell a simple cube and same limitation.
Hi jared jaynes Thank you for watching! The trial version is actually the ultimate version, so no restrictions at all. You can not select a plane for shelling. It has to be a face. Try to make a simple square and select one face, then you should be good.
It seems there are 2 shortcuts (E and Q) for the same fonction (Extrude or Push/Pull)... Why do you recommand Q, that seems far less intuitive for me than just E ?
Help please i feel stupid asking this Can anyone tell me what lars is saying the word audian ordian referring to that xyz0 point. I know what he is talking about (I think anyway) I just don’t know what he is saying. Sorry Lars
Now I feel really stupid Lol. It was just that one word and I thought maybe it’s a technical term something to do with coordinates Thanks for the answer. I think it was more my hearing than your pronunciation Lars Cheers Paul
8 tracks vynel records and then cassette tapes then walkmans hey man what happened to radio shack. what happened to all our star wars action figures and space ships. what happened to my nassa rocket befor the shuttle came out. and why is jar jar now the top agent when we thought he was just a bumbling idiot. Huh? ua-cam.com/video/ezcP-Ys_voY/v-deo.html
Finally made the plunge from Tinkercad, and found these amazing.
Thank you so much for your time in helping others.

Another great one. That was the “project” object problem I was having trying to use a line it wouldn’t recognize. Thank. I understand it better now.
Thanks Lars... I got a day off to go through this vid and make my own.
Nice video, I followed everything untill the end and indeed, I managed to get the vacuum mouth piece modelled the way I need one. Thank you so much !
Hey there Lars! I'm in the process of learning Fusion360 and I find your videos very helpful. You're great teacher :-)

A morse taper is typically 1.49 degrees (around 3 degrees included).
Cheers Lars. Going to mod this out with special hooks to vacuum brush my Airedale. Print it in ABS.

Learning quite alot..:)
Question, do you have a video on how to add graphics to a face? Maybe like adding a logo to a face or some characters?
Hi Marvin Gorospe Thank you for watching!
I don't think I have done that. You can insert a decal from the Insert drop-down

Some reason I can not select both faces on the shell command. I am running Fusion 2020...is it different? Section 45:51
Yeah I wish there were more tutorial on the new fusion its soo damn frustrating that everything was fucking shifted around
