The state of the section analysis is not reset, so it can be used repeatedly during the project. Just hide/unhide it or delete it if it is no longer needed.
Came here after "visiting" an Australian creator with 1.11 mln subscribers, and... I've enjoyed it. I stopped using F360 for a few years and I need to relearn things (including some basics like threads). It's funny that nobody is noticing that Fusion 360 is now called Autodesk Fusion. The company dropped the "360" moniker.
When I use section analysis I just click the eye symbol besides section analysis to turn it off. That way it will not bother me, but I can use it later on if needed. By the way, really good video. I did not know anything about 3D design until March this year, but watched hundreds of videos since. Well if you count watching a lot of beginner / learn fusion in 30 days videos, 2 to 5 times each, plus a lot of others like your here now. But what you do here makes total sense to me, and I need to design more stuff soon! By the way, it does not matter if you expand the offset plane or not, technically that is, but yeah it does do something visually for the designer. :)
Omg thank you! both for the kind words and the analysis tip. I'll have to try it later. And I always feel like I'm breaking the laws of reality by not expanding my planes, like drawing on nothing lol.
@@MTFPrint You are welcome. :) And yep, I would do the same to expand the planes, just to visualize that I am working on something physical and not in the air. :D I also did recently hear about the spline that you used. I only tried the fit point spline, and well my biggest issue with splines was to find out how to constrain them! I got better at that though, realizing you need to constrain the control handles amongst other things. I did not use threads so much yet, but really using that as well as making lids that slides in/out or other solutions, is really something I need to get some experience with.
Honestly I thought threads would be the hardest thing but both design wise and printing, they're kind of the easiest as long as you do those 2 alterations. And the only tip I can think to say on a sliding lid is if you print it, keep in mind your clearance from lid to slot should also try to account for plastic sag depending on print orientation of the slot.
Do you know how I could make the top hollow as well? I’m wanting to make an interactive instrument with this design and could use that extra space. Thanks so much for this wonderful video!
What you could do is select the bottom flat face of the cap that's inside of the screw hole and use the "Shell" tool, but it didn't really gain much air and made print stability questionable when I just mocked it up. Other alternatives would be to change the design so the lid is the male thread (meaning screw is going out of lid instead of going in) and then shelling as that would give a more stable hollowness. The other OTHER thing you could try is just using less and different infill to try and create more air pockets. Glad you liked it so much :)

I think it's like a Twitter "X" situation. It's always gonna be Twitter, always fusion360 😄
Excited to see where this goes.
Thank you!

@@MTFPrint, I always expand the planes to prevent clicking "on a wrong thing" when creating a new secondary sketch.
