For those trying to follow this with updated F360, at 4:21 "Directions" is now called "Axes". Thanks for the tut, was easy to follow once I realized the name change lol. My project turned out great thanks to you!
Thx for the tip making new variables on the fly from the dimension tool, didn't know that was possible. I think there is a less convoluted way to make a honeycomb grid tho.
Thank you so much for this. I've been trying to figure out an easy way to do this and this was the best explanation of how to do this that I have found. I am a beginner and I was able to keep up with this pretty well. Just went back and rewatched the sections I wasn't clear about until I had it figured out.
This is why I love Grasshopper. In GH this would be a one-minute job. The only downside being that then I'd have to take my Rhino export back into Fusion360 each time I want to change something.
There is the new design extension in Fusion that can do this but it's a bit expensive. This workflow is mostly for hobby users on a budget :) (and that doesn't want to learn one more software)
@@KristianLaholm Yes, I understand. For me, I could buy Rhino as an educational version and upgrade it for an educational price as well. Grasshopper comes with it for free. Fusion360 would be out of my budget when I can't use the educational version anymore so I'm trying to learn as much as I can.
@@varazir Definitely! But the limitations make it so that I cannot do complex projects in it anymore. The limit of having ten active projects is not enough and I assemble my machines with lots of parts
@@MarinusMakesStuff You can have more then 10 projects but only 10 editable files at the same time. But the important is use the software that accommodates your workflow the best :)
The workflow is similar have a look at this video ua-cam.com/video/4VctTiB1DE0/v-deo.htmlsi=0lbYq9lVidKVrNYm There is a lot of different ways setting up the dimensions, you often need to adapt them to you use case.
I hade a plan for that but I thought a lot of users simply want to fill a face with some cut outs and I wanted to show how you can use the tools in Fusion and do it in a resonable time. There are some stupid parametric stuffing on it's way :)
Hi Kristian love your tutorials this one is very interesting I am trying to do a brick wall pattern that can be scaled for a dolls house so it can be 3d printed any chance you could do a tutorial or give some tips please
Thank you. Fusion is not the best tool for a pattern like that, Fusion will get slow and unresponsive with a bit pattern like that, there are some tutorials on it but be prepared it can lock up Fusion.
G'day Kristen I love your approach to this pattern. I was wondering, haven't tried it myself ATM, but could you do a rectangular pattern of 3 hexagonal in a triangular pattern, where some hexagons would overlap each other, ie, the bottom right hexagon overlap the bottom left and so on? I havta try it myself. Havagooday my friend. Greg

Thank you for pointing out the change in the UI. Fusion has had small updates like this over the years and they are often not documented.
Thx for the tip making new variables on the fly from the dimension tool, didn't know that was possible. I think there is a less convoluted way to make a honeycomb grid tho.
If you find a better workflow for hexagon pattern please share :)

Keep on searching for more ways to do things and you will feel more confident in your modeling :)
I am a fair beginner, just few hours in fusion in total and I managed to do this! Thanks a lot.
Keep on modeling :)
I appreciate your time, thank you!

@@MarinusMakesStuff You know Fusion is "free" ?

Thank you for the Tutorial, I do wonder why I can't reference the named dimensions when typing: "HEX_WIDTH = 15" for example
Is the parameter not showing up or is Fusion giving you an error? (check in "Change Parameters" if the user parameter is added to Favorites)
Hi, I'm new to the 3d printing world. I am trying to to the pattern but with holes, the command HEX_WIDTH surely won't work. Any tips? thanks

I thought that you were going to come up with some automatic parametric patterning magic.
I hade a plan for that but I thought a lot of users simply want to fill a face with some cut outs and I wanted to show how you can use the tools in Fusion and do it in a resonable time. There are some stupid parametric stuffing on it's way :)

There are plenty of more ways to do this pattern. Overlapping features can be hard on the pattern function.
