one year later this video solve my problem .
lars ,,,, you are number one . please continue !
Come on you guys and girls, we can do better on the thumbs up can't we?
Who else give you so much Fusion360 goodness almost every day. I can't think of one upload of Lars that hasn't been packed with useable informative material. Bless you Lars.
Thank you Chris Leech :-)
Thanks Lars. When ever I need to do something unfamiliar to me in Fusion I always go straight to your videos.
That is awesome to hear hoppynaki .Thank you for watching the videos
Awesome!! Please do more of these exercises with the tools in that palette. I've looked up other videos for these tools, but you do much better at teaching and conveying how they can be used. thx!
That is awesome to hear johnpaulstez .Thank you for watching the videos
Awesome stuff, Lars. I abandoned Sketchup two weeks ago. I'm two weeks into Fusion 360. I'm starting my third week at UFLC. (University of Fusion Lars Christensen)
It's wonderful being able to attend class in my underwear and **BURP** ...excuse me... and have a beer while I'm learning.
-Dave
LOL, That is awesome to hear ytwdh .Thank you for watching the videos
Your amazing thank you for sharing your knowledge with the community. I made a mold and copied the body which gave me two halves but when I try and put them together I have 2 right versions! With this I now have a solution to get a left version.
The best thing about learning fusion 360 is that it’s completely free on UA-cam from generous people like yourself!
Most appreciative,
Paul
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
Mirror tricks , surpress feature, plane construction and so on
All of those are cool and great tip
I’ve watched your recording stream about 10 times
and never disappointed
always satisfied !
Awesome to hear 👍😊Thank you for watching
Thank you so much for teaching me fusion 360. I am a hobbyist. I have had fusion for a little over a year. At first I was teaching myself with the tutorials from autodesk. I could barely get past press-pull, and simple models. I would get frustrated of going nowhere after hours trying. Then would go months before attempting again...Your videos are turning me into a Fusion badass. Again thank you...Oh yea this one was exceptionally good
That is awesome to hear Joseph Carlat .Thank you for watching the videos
Great video as always Lars, Thank you. Enjoy your time off with your little lady.
Thank you Spike Kent :-)
Thanks again for a great Fusion360 video. As I live in EU it will be even harder to get on live streams at 2 am 😴 But spending your time with your daughter and family is way more important!
Hi 3D Gussner Thank you for watching!
Sorry about the change, we should be back on the old schedule sometime in March :-)
Jeez. I had no idea you could use remove to delete something without breaking everything. Thanks for showing and explaining that!
I wish I could take my "working with fusion" timeline back a couple of months, watch this video, and then play forward. It would have saved me some headaches on previous projects ;)
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
Lars. First, thank you for your great content. As a beginner, I struggle with using the right tool for the job. In depth explanations along with practical use within 360 have been very helpful.
That is awesome to hear Jon J .Thank you for watching the videos
Great tutorial. Thanks for posting this.
You are so very welcome. Thank you for watching
Good to have you back Lars, you sound re-enthused after your break.
(For me) it's a shame about the time slot change, midnight is no good for me (UK) but if it works for you, well that's what counts.
It is great to be back :-)
Sorry about the change. I might try moving things around the next coming weeks, I might not. But, come end of March, I think we will be back at the old schedule anyways :-)
Have an awesome day!
Thanks Lars, The circular array around an axis was helpful for two sided text scenarios.
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
Welcome back Lars! Missed you last week!
Thank you, Hari :-) Good to be back!
Yes, congratulations on your new daughter!!
Thank you so much ! :-)
Project the fusion text into the new mirrored body. Keep up the good work. It make us thing of new ways to model into fusion
Hi 30000hp Thank you for watching! Uhhh I like the project idea!
I was thinking about mirroring on both the plane that is underneath the text, and the one that cuts it in half left to right... should serve to flip the backwards text the right way?
Congratulations on your new Daughter
Thank you so much, Terry!
Thanks, very clear and useful.
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
another great video - thank you!
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
You are so helpfull! thank you!
Another great video thank you
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
thanks Lars
Great demo again! I need to copy your FUSION BRAIN part and upload it here, so I can download it to my "brain", ha ha ha
Anyway, thanks again!
Hi Tony Fleming Thank you for watching! lol, practice practice!! I'm rooting for you!!
Great tutorial
Thank you tom schmitz
Right clicking the timeline !!! OMG is there nothing you can't do with Fusion360? Any answer other than a qualified "No" would be premature I think. (Sadly I have a double negative in there but you know what I mean....)
If you can't now then soon yes? And here I am wobbling around on my learners wheels:-)
That is awesome to hear Chris Leech .Thank you for watching the videos
Chris Leech - I know what you mean. I too am on my training wheels, and the videos are amazing. I try to venture out on my own, and always seem to end up deviating, but that is how we learn.
Good luck to you. 😀
And to you as well mate.
Good stuff, nice work!
Thank you Grazer-One
Cool video!
I use to learn design spark mechanical, i want to learn fusion 360 for more complex designs. I want to create a object with some features to fit a bearring and some springs inside piece, the issue is that i want to have 8 bearings in total with same features, i don't know how to use mirror function, to make 1 feature and apply it 7 times more in simetry on 7 different angles and faces within same piece design. It is a hard press a bearring with a rod through it to fit by compressing rod into a plastic 3d printed object that i want to create, at the ends of rod of each bearing to be sustained by a steel spring.
hello lars, what are the differences between Inventor. AutoCad and Fusion360 . I hope you make video of it. Many company in my place they prefer Auto Cad more, but for me I learn using SolidWorks before and now Fusion 360
Hi Halim Idris Thank you for watching!
I will put that on the list for sure.
Autocad is primarily only 2D. Inventor is very much like SolidWorks, full 3D. Fusion 360 is Inventor/SolidWorks but also include the use of the cloud.
Best,
Lars
awesome tips
Thank you Jan Griesel
What a process to try and do a simple thing ,can they make it any harder!
Thank you Lars! I used the (sketch) mirror tool for the first time and it worked great. I had one issue, it seemed that the line had to be in the current sketch?
yes. it seems so, and is quite strange for me. for every sketch i have to draw new construction lines instead of using the ones i made minutes ago.
Thank you for watching.
Yes, you are right. The mirror sketch function need to have the line within that sketch. You could use "P" to project a previous line if you want to use that to mirror about.
Best,
Lars
Thanks very useful.
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
Hello Lars :-) I have wondered if there is a more accurate way of adding text in fusion. like in this video if you would add the text manually again on the (new) left version, how could you make sure it is placed exactly in the "right spot". hope my question makes sense.
to me it seems that you have to sort of eyeball it.
Hi Jokke Thank you for watching!
Great question! You could insert a point and dimension it, then when you start your text, snap into that point. Hope this is useful.
Best,
Lars
well i still think the text command is a little "poor", but i guess its not really used a whole lot, i know i haven´t anyway. Thanks for the tip, it made me a little smarter :-)
can we mirror something in 3d or has to be on the sketch?
The option to turn it back on is grayed and does not turn it back on. Thanks for a great way to learn Fusion.
Hi Vaughn Hatch Thank you for watching!
Try to go and click your name in the upper right and select Preferences. In the lower left there is a restore default button. Hopefully that helps
Is it possible to mirror entire components to include joints? I'm lazy and would rather make one complex component than four, I tried making a mirror to get two and then making a mirror of a mirror to get four, this looked great but the parts had hinges and once I tried to move it around only the original stayed together, the joints hadn't mirrored along with the parts and the others fell apart.
I should have watched this earlier today because I got my mirrored part and hit delete of my original part I got that warning. I should have used remove. I ended up 3D printing both parts.
Hi ted sykora Thank you for watching!
Great share, thanks.
History in Fusion 360 can get cluttered up with edits, can it not?
It seems this is a negative of History. How long does the design go before all those edits are confusing to the next person that picks up the design. I know you can play the History like a movie, but it seems there has to be a cleanup along the way, but I don't believe I ever heard of that being done. This is more of a workflow issue than anything else.
Thank you for watching. There are a few tricks, such as you can group operations by right-clicking. But to your point, it does take some discipline when you add many features
@@cadcamstuff There's two levels to a design - first, to imagine the parts correctly, then to find a good step flow in Fusion 360. Two skills. And, of course, a third level - tool-specific attention to get a good toolpath, right? You should offer training on Udemy, you have a lot to offer...
Do you have guides on making circular clips? Like for a microphone with a taper aswell
Hi Jared Zadorozny Thank you for watching!
I have not, but that would be a good topic. Thank you, that is now on the list.
Litt mer avansert tutorial! Jeg har på en måte lært det letteste og trenger noe mer. Føler alle tutorial som blir vist fra fusion 360 bare handrer om starten. Cam er jeg ikke så interesert i for jeg bruker det til 3d printing. Beklager at jeg skriver på norsk men jeg har fått med meg at du er fra Danmark så tenkte det går bra.
Hi Rally8130 1981 Thank you for watching!
What would you like to see?
Best,
Lars
19:33 when I perform the mirror I don't get 2 bodies, I am still having 1 body with the mirrored part. And they are combined as default. what am I doing wrong. I need 2 separate bodies.
How do you get it to "turn black" like that? Mine just stays blue..
ok.. I have a question, probably noob, but.... when I try to mirror, the "Pattern type" option isn't there so I can only choose an object, but not a feature for example. Any solutions? I am on the "Mirror" from "Create" and not on the one from "Sketch" btw (that one is greyed out anyway so even if I wanted I couldn't purposely mistake it)
I've used mirror before and it was working fine too...
thx for anyone that can help
Updates Dude, updates which actually made Fusion less functional. Lars knows this thats why few questions are answered by him anymore. I used to be a fan of Fusion, i now have changed my mind on it, its NOT easy, its NOT usable and Autodesk are doing this deliberately to move users onto a more lucrative cloud based software
Man I can get frustrated when I watch a video, do the same thing and it dont work. I made a rectangle block, cut another smaller rectangle out the right bottom corner. Then mirror it from right to left. Worked perfect. Mirror it again from bottom to top. now I have 3 cut outs and try to get a fourth one in the left top corner. to do that I try to mirror one of my mirrored objects. that I cant get to work.
How can I do 4 cut outs that always change to the dimensions of the first one?
Its because Fusion 360 is utter crap and getting worse with every update. Lars shows so called "features" which dont work!
I notice that you rotate and zoom the image without moving your mouse. How exactly do you do that?
Space mouse
is there an option in Fusion 360 to have a real-time mirror applied? For example I set up XZ to be my global mirroring plane and start building up half of my model in positive Y-direction and it instantly mirrors these steps on the other side of the XZ Plane in negative Y-direction? I cannot seem to find it in fusion or anywhere on google. Thanks.
There is not. Normally you would build the entire right before mirroring to the left
@@cadcamstuff That's exactly what I'm doing. Problem is, that sometimes it just destroys the bodies. Most of the time when its an extrusion to an object. But thanks anyway, I was still hoping it was somehow possible :D
I turned off the grid as you suggest but now I can't get it back on. What is the solution?
Hi Vaughn Hatch Thank you for watching!
You can turn it back on the same way. Click the little grid icon at the bottom of the screen.
Best,
Lars
im curious as to you current computer specs for running fusion, according to the website mine is sufficient but to me it seems slow(only an I3),my graphics card is an amd radeon hd6450, 2core@293ghz,and 6g ram
I think your graphics card would matter more. I can use Fusion on both an I3 and I5. My I3 computer is challenging to model in with a terrible card. Edited for typos :(
One thing that I've found makes a big difference - click on the help icon in the upper right, select Graphics Diagnostic, then select the option for Limit Effects to Optimize Performance. Before changing that, I had pretty bad lag/delay - afterwards it runs super smooth. I don't know what effects are being limited, but I've never noticed anything that's now missing... other than the lag!
I'd say your processor is the limiting factor, an i3 is generally dual core and it seems to be quite a low operating frequency too.
I have to admit that I don't have much knowledge about the internals of computers, so I am really happy and thankful that people like Xyienced, Mike Schuster and jonesrichardmr are around :-)
Lars, do you like Belgian style trippels? Beer, I mean?
Yes! I am really not too picky when it comes to beer :-)
er det bare fusion 360 tutorials for nybegynnere du viser
Hi Rally8130 1981 Thank you for watching!

Somebody give this man some Germ-X. All this hand rubbing is going to waste.
FUSION with a CON prefix = CONFUSION ;-)
I hope not :-) What is confusing?
I was just a general comment about the mistakes you said you frequently have made with the mirrored text on the other side. Then at 15:22 you said confusion. The word FUSION was just sitting there, begging to have CON in front of it :-)
Sorry, my comment was probably a bit too obtuse.
The left and right parts is something I have just dealt with - the hard way! - recreating the sketches.
Will need to try that out.
You state at 9.30 ish to select a plane, my fusion doesnt, it selects a surface, this is what gets me so angry at fusion, it doesnt work in the way your videos describe Lars
Ive wasted days of my life on Fusion, it keeps getting worse!
