Like everybody else has been saying, this is a really great intro. Love that you are starting at the _actual_ beginning: how to even use the program. Great job!
Not new to cads but fusion 360 has a pretty good learning curve to it. I've had a hard time with other videos caz of software version, yours is the same as mine!!!!!! BY watching this 20 min. video, you just saved me *WEEKS* of headaches and aggravation! THANK YOU!! 👍
Ok, so, I'm just starting out on Fusion 360. I've been watching other beginner tutorials and there's one that stood out as the best so far. I'll refrain from using their name. However, I still found myself a bit lost and confused. Until now. This, is hands down, the best Fusion 360 beginner tutorial I've found on UA-cam. I will definitely have to watch this again on the big screen while I follow along on my laptop. This tutorial gives me hope for a better understanding of a program that I was beginning to think I'd never fully understand. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
UI updates can throw people off as the older UI was slightly different. I had not used my version of 360 in a years time log back in and the interface is different. What really sucked is that I was just learning the program when I took a break to do other things. Now I feel as if I am somewhat starting over and I have grids where before I had blank drawing board.
I really like the way you explain.. This beginners videos are 4 years old, are this videos still useful for the current Fusion 360 2024 version, for complete beginners like me?
Thanks for the good tutorials. I gave up on Fusion 360 several times over the past few years, but recently needed to get it learned and after watching numerous videos, including Autodesk's own tutorials which were ok but lacked explanations, finally found yours. You actually explain things in a sequence that matches actual workflow which is what I really needed. I am currently on number 4 and have watched these up to 4 times each to get it pounded in, sometimes Pause, Rewind, Play to see and hear things again. I find that watching your mouse/cursor closely really helps me to see what you actually doing because F360 has a way of challenging you to get the sequence of clicks just right in order to make things work properly. Thanks again.
Thank you for explaining everything thoroughly it was very helpful watched 4 other tutorials by others that were absolutely no help so will definitely stick with your videos from now on.
Been following your Sketchup Essentials channel for some time now, and recently started thinking about learning Fusion 360. Really happy to discover this other channel and look forward to diving in!
Great video’s As I was watching you in the right hand corner I felt I knew you from somewhere?? 🤔 then it hit me …. You look like the ….. “ Cousin from Boston “ guy on tv. Maybe not just like home but definitely his brother lol. So your the cousin from Boston’s little brother. Lol 😂
Hi Justin, I am so pleased that you are giving up your time to help beginners like me do something useful with F360. I am trying to work up a new layout for our kitchen starting with a partial floor plan. I am in my 70s, but your tutorials are very easy to follow and are helping me so much. One thing that puzzled me is when you said our drawings are best stored in Autodesk's Cloud rather than locally else there is some loss of functionality. Can you say what is lost, please?
Thank you for this video. I just created my first 3D cylinder after watching it. I have a long way to go but you helped me get started. Hello from Galveston Texas.
Wow! A Fusion video where the person isn't jumping right into advanced stuff. I am impressed by how you communicate. I hope the next videos are as good :)
Nice one Justin, Have been following your sketchup vids and now I'm trying out Fusion 360 for our CNC and found you over here too! Many thanks for upload !
Great job on explaining the workspace and the different options. Most Fusion 360 tutorials jump right into modeling without an explanation of the model space. Your SketchUp videos helped me get through my classes. Thank you very much.
Good Job. I'm moving to f360 from TinkerCad and have learned a lot from this video with the biggest point being that I need a new mouse. The standard Apple mouse as well as my Logitech Trackball don't allow me to orbit easily. Thanks for the info!
I am new to Fusion also. Greta videos. Suggestion for new video-Creating a 3d model from a SVG where there are several extrusions on the face with different measurements, ie…police or fire badge.
does this apply to Fusion Personal, the free hobbyist version? I wish you would move more slowly with the cursor when moving towards a button, then you could go fast on the way back? I will watch repeatedly to try and follow your lightning cursor.
Awesome! Love your style. Keeping it to the subject at hand and not trying to over explain everything. Looking forward to watching all of these. Thanks
This is the perfect content that I was hoping to find! I am a complete newbie to Fusion and this really helped a lot! I can't wait to see the other tutorials in this series!
Great to see you teaching Fusion as I had been following you on Sketch UP. So far I'm only Part 1 and have learn't so much more than other courses. Thanks
Hey bud just subscribed!! Can you do a video about tool paths and post processing. I love how you explain everything to the t. However can you do a simple project from start to finish. So like create a simple project and create tool paths for milling, and then post process it. Thanks for the free schooling.
I’m looking for a program that I can construct gears and animate them also something it’s free or open source is fusion 360 a good program to use? From what I understand based off your videos you can use it for that and several other things a multitude of things
Hi Justin wat the are the differeces between fusion360 and inventor? fusion one is working cloud based the other one not? and other differeces? thank you
Nice video. Pleased to have found someone who outlines the 'obvious ' that isnt always obvious but often causes me grief when my assumptions are wrong. 0tabs at the top and where some filing shoould or shouldnt be kept etc. good job :)
I'd like to label parts and sides to make similar items easier to recognize. Something that would appear like a banner on a part or a surface. That would also make a viewer of my file more oriented to my notes. Is there a feature for this? For example I have to create a large horizontal air receiver which will have one end a bit lower than the other for a condensate drain. I'd like to label the high and the low ends. And when I'm rotating something with design characteristics that are not obvious from the outside view.
Hmmm - there is an option on the lower left hand side of the page to add comments and associate them with your items, but those notes don't really show up in your general view. You could also label your different bodies with different names, but I don't think you can do exactly what you're describing here. You could create a drawing with the drawing workspace and label your items with the tools contained in there.
Sir, I am new to fusion 360. In your opening you showed a screen that looks like graph paper, mine is a plain white work surface. You never explained how to get to the screen with the graph paper.
Similar question: your workspace has the grid apparently extending to infinity on all sides. Mine has the grid only slightly larger than the sketch I started while following along. I'm not seeing any controls about that in the View and Grid options?
I keep watching this video and a few of your others until there is nothing you say that I don’t already know. I’m under the gun to produce a couple models and it’s been so frustrating watching other videos that either use older versions that have different screens/options while trying to follow tutorials when I’m lost on the screen.
Yeah, that's the trick with Fusion 360 - it kind of auto updates in the background and sometimes they just slip in a UI change that makes things look different. If you have questions about anything, let me know :)
Even the autodesk help refers to out of date screens. I need to design a cylinder with a taper about midway along where the ID transitions from one value to another. I'm hoping I can design in a smooth transition rather than a hard edge. When I saw you demonstrate the rotate option I realized I can focus on creating the inside contour first then rotate it, rather than trying to transition a cylinder ID. I also have someone building me a 1000 gallon air receiver tank. They asked for a CAD showing all of the ports. This way there is no misunderstanding what I want built.
Beginners watching this are going to have problems following your instructions. You are speeding along like they already know how the steps to manipulate commands work. I am proficient in AutoCAD and Solidworks and can’t follow your steps. I am wondering how many times the reader has to rewind and play back each step in order to get it.
Honestly, I think he is the only one who DOES explain things properly. I have watched some of his videos 3 or 4 times to get all the nuances. I watch his mouse closely as it shows exactly what he is doing. And frequently shows goofs which he usually comments on. Pause, backup, and watch again is my normal way to get things completely.
The information is very useful BUT spinning the cursor around the screen is EXTREMELY distracting and confusing for those of us NOT familiar with the selection locations. After 5 minutes, I couldn't watch anymore; I got eye fatigue trying to follow the cursor and I gave up. Perhaps I can try again once I'm more familiar with the various tools/buttons. Thank you for your work, think I need something a little more rudimentary.
One thing that You teachers do wrong all the time, is that You assume that every one of Your wiewers has the ability to read Your mind. That means, we are looking at the scetch, while Your mouse pointer is all over the place - without any chance to follow on what You're doing. You have to slow down the pace a little - and add some more info about where You are in the work space, at any given moment. This means - if You're talking about the grey button - second from the right, at the bottom of the screen - just say it! When You say "You just click on this button, to do this or that" - it doesn't help at all. And one more thing - You don't have to reiterate over and over and over again, abouy how awesome and simple the F360 is. Those were the very reasons we're ALL here now. Right?
What I learned to and it may help you is to: 1. Watch the video in it's entirely a few times. Something new tends to be intimidating at times. 2. I look at the things he points out. From menus, different drop downs, etc. 3. Just randomly do something just to see what certain options are. 4. Once I get familiar with all that, then I follow what their doing.
Dude,show me how to draw first,I don't care about "Saving" anything yet, all that does is confused people, When we 1st start up all we care about is how to draw A-line how to draw an object not how to save something,all this does is frustrate people!!!
So many “Intro to Fusion 360” videos start right in designing shapes without explaining the workspace. This is an essential first video. Thanks
Right! I haven't found a single "fusion for beginners" that is actually for beginners. They all assume you have a basic understanding of this program.
Hi everyone! Really excited to be kicking off this channel! Let me know what kind of Fusion tutorials you'd like to see in the comments below! :)
I really like the tutorials using fusion for woodworking projects.
yes i would like to see some blender tutorials .....the software s free and powerful......
Like everybody else has been saying, this is a really great intro. Love that you are starting at the _actual_ beginning: how to even use the program. Great job!
That was 20 minutes well spent. Excellent intro, thank-you.

This is the first video that has screens that look like mine.
this is the exact reason I watched this particular video hahaha
That always helps, I tried the TurboCad and nothing matched not even the version

My experience and views are exactly as Ron said. Thank you SO much for your terrific series.
Well done.Great tutorial for the total newbie (like me) to fusion 360.
After learning sketchup through your other channel I was excited to see that you are also teaching fusion 360! best guide ever
Thank you for explaining everything thoroughly it was very helpful watched 4 other tutorials by others that were absolutely no help so will definitely stick with your videos from now on.
Been following your Sketchup Essentials channel for some time now, and recently started thinking about learning Fusion 360. Really happy to discover this other channel and look forward to diving in!
Thank you for taking the time to explain all of this very basic information. Now when I open Fusion360, it feels familiar instead of intimidating.
Really like the thorough breakdown of the layout.
Great video’s
As I was watching you in the right hand corner I felt I knew you from somewhere??
🤔 then it hit me …. You look like the …..
“ Cousin from Boston “ guy on tv.
Maybe not just like home but definitely his brother lol. So your the cousin from Boston’s little brother. Lol 😂

there is some loss of functionality. Can you say what is lost, please?
Thank you for this video. I just created my first 3D cylinder after watching it. I have a long way to go but you helped me get started. Hello from Galveston Texas.
great video to walk through the workspace, very helpful, thank you
good to know what the workspace functions do first. thanks, that was helpful for me. :)
Wow! A Fusion video where the person isn't jumping right into advanced stuff. I am impressed by how you communicate. I hope the next videos are as good :)
You have a New subscriber! Thank you. I'm trying to learn 360 from scratch. And your channel has it👍
Same! I haven't used Autodesk software in about 5 years so I have to relearn everything. This video really helped me.
Nice one Justin, Have been following your sketchup vids and now I'm trying out Fusion 360 for our CNC and found you over here too! Many thanks for upload !
Thanks for your videos. The interface is so convoluted that trying to mimic your work gives me panes that only allows me to cancel, never accept.
your videos are so easy to follow..as a 360 noob i love them...
Great job on explaining the workspace and the different options. Most Fusion 360 tutorials jump right into modeling without an explanation of the model space. Your SketchUp videos helped me get through my classes. Thank you very much.

THANKS IT IS REALLY HELPFUL: I FOLLOWED YOUR VIDEOS FOR SKETCHUP
Nice overview. Was a bit fast for trying understand what you were doing at each step, but really helpful. Thanks
Great video, thanks Justin. Best intro to Fusion I have found. Will watch more.
Awesome, thank you!
I like your fusion 360 tutorials. 👍
Nice job.
i have to learn fusion 360 for work, this was perfect!
Glad I could help! :)
Great video. I needed somewhere to start my journey of Fusion 360 and it looks as if I've found it! Thanks so much 👍🏽
Thanks so much, easy to understand.
Very interesting video, explanations are extremely clear, thanks a lot Justin
Excelent Tutorial as always thx Justin
Hey bud just subscribed!! Can you do a video about tool paths and post processing. I love how you explain everything to the t. However can you do a simple project from start to finish. So like create a simple project and create tool paths for milling, and then post process it. Thanks for the free schooling.
thanks Teacher! I appreciate the knowledge!
I just got Fusion 360 a couple of days ago, and have been trying to figure it out. This is a great tutorial. You gotta sub from me.
hey!! is fusion 360 good for 13yr old me to design and 3d print some rc jets???????????
I’m looking for a program that I can construct gears and animate them also something it’s free or open source is fusion 360 a good program to use? From what I understand based off your videos you can use it for that and several other things a multitude of things
Have your stoped doing fusion 360? What do you know about Shapr3D?
Hi Justin wat the are the differeces between fusion360 and inventor? fusion one is working cloud based the other one not? and other differeces? thank you
Great overview! Very nice
Is this the free student non commercial version?
Nice video. Pleased to have found someone who outlines the 'obvious ' that isnt always obvious but often causes me grief when my assumptions are wrong. 0tabs at the top and where some filing shoould or shouldnt be kept etc. good job :)
Lol - I try to be as detailed as possible while still keeping the videos manageable - works better on some videos than others ;)
Cheers for the great tutorial
Awesome Chanel! Do you have any tutorials on how to setup CNC paths using CNC's like Shapeoko?
I'd like to label parts and sides to make similar items easier to recognize. Something that would appear like a banner on a part or a surface. That would also make a viewer of my file more oriented to my notes. Is there a feature for this?

Got a problem with emboss. Have to emboss series of domes to a cylinder. I can create a dome but can’t emboss. Looking for somebody to solve it.
thank you very much sir

Hi can you teach me online on zoom or TeamViewer, I will pay you, because I can't find best tutorial on UA-cam... Thank You (Im using Mac)
OK, you're familiar
Sir / Madam pls send the this 3D Drawing software Detaila
why no show
