Hello Everyone- In this weeks Fusion Friday, Brad shows how to use the Boundary Fill command. Watch to see some examples of how it is used and what it can be used for. #fusion #nexgen
Thanks Brad! I am glad I am not the only one that found confusing which check box to use when using this command. As an Autodesk Evangelist maybe you should suggest to the dev team to make the tool more intuitive. I love Fusion anyway.
Thanks for covering that Brad 👍🏻 The example with surfaces is pretty straightforward but, as you rightly say it's the selection of cells that really complicates the use and understanding of it. Maybe a graphical preview when selecting cells would really help users understand this tool better
Ya, I wish Fusion "highlighted" the regions for each cell. I had another more complicated example that had multiple cells, but it made the video way too long, so I cut it out. Maybe I'll show it in a future webinar or something. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@bradtallis8968 It's totally understandable for filling a bounding box of surfaces and planes. It's when it's used with creating intersecting bodies when it really becomes confusing and not intuitive at all. With that water volume example it's almost easier to create a zero offset surface on the inside and a zero offset plane at the top and then use boundary fill in the same way you show at the beginning, because that way it results in a single cell to select.
Maybe the checkboxes are in order from outside to inside? Not sure what the top check was for since you didn't show that one. I'll have to try it myself...

Thanks "vase half full guy", I had no idea what Boundary Fill is.
lol. Thanks for watching.
I knew Fusion was powerful, I just didn’t know how powerful until I discovered your channel. You are great. Thank you.
Awww, thanks for the nice comment. I'm glad you are finding my channel useful. Have fun Fusion'ing!

Thank you Teacher
Very useful tip! Thanks, Brad.
Glad you liked it. Thanks!
Absolutely brilliant, I can see using this for a lot of applications. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!

Great video. I am getting back into Fusion and this is helpful because they keep changing Fusion and it's layout.
Glad it was helpful!
Very useful, thanks a lot Brad 🙂
Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
Great Explanation on a tool that I have avoided because I didn't understand it well enough... Now I do thanks to you Sir, well done!
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much Brad
Glad to see you all the time
You are very welcome.
Great stuff! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the video, Brad. Great to have you back. Sub'd
Thanks for the sub! Much appreciated!
Thanks - definitely earned a subscription from me. Looks like I have some work to do reviewing your other videos 😊
Thanks for subscribing! I hope you enjoy the other videos.
thanks, Brad for sharing your tutorials and experience, again I will follow up on them.
My pleasure!
Hi Brad, weren't you on the fusion team? Have you left AD?
Ya, I'm no longer at Autodesk.
Seed cell doesn't work. Fusion360 is just broken.
So boundary fill can also be used to copy bodies. Is there a use case for that (over normal copy/paste)?
Not that I can think of. I would use the normal copy/paste. Thanks for watching!
