Hi, Thanks for your awesome tutorials. I am learning Fusion 360 only with your tutorials. I personally thought that learning 3D modelling is quite difficult and impossible to me. I started your 30 day tutorial yesterday and I learned a lot. Your simplified method helps.
Thank you for you lessons, I thought I was pretty good at figuring everything out coming from Solidworks and Onshape, but found that it isn't that easy. The concepts are very different and you're making this a breeze for me to get used to. Thanks again!!! :-)
I teach jr/sr high school shop. My Jr high students and I are learning Fusion 360 together using your 30 day series. I am on a desktop, but students are on Chromebooks. The steps for getting the "root" beer bottle onto the Canvas was a bit different, but we figured it out. We 3D print and have an AVID Pro CNC router. We also use VCarve Pro. Thanks for the great tutorials!
Whew made it. As I'm using the newest F360 and toolbar has changed, I learned from Lars Christensen that if you go to Preferences->General, check Use Old Toolbar and that makes it easier to follow your tutorial. Also, I kept trying to get the extrude+cut on the top of the bottle to work but couldn't so I really had to pay attention to your instructions and the I believe that the difference was the horizontal constraint may be what made it work...finally. Well...on to Day 3 :-) And thanks for these videos.

Made it all the way to the finish line! Good thing I can always 'rewind' and look at certain parts again whenever something didn't work like your did. The days of sitting in a classroom and asking the tutor to repeat something are coming to an end, haha! This is brilliant stuff, Kevin. I've got quite a bit of experience using 3ds Max. However, this seems to be a complete different game with measurements being way more crucial for these product designs. I'll be going through this entire playlist and then some! Thanks again!
Hi, Kaj. Glad to see you're making progress. You are certainly correct, Fusion 360s parametric nature is a much different approach than 3Ds Max. However, that would be valuable to be skilled in both. Keep at it! Cheers, Kevin :)
This was extremely helpful. Thanks for obviously having taken the time to plan out what you're going to do in advance (I haven't seen your original videos, so not referring to them, but to others' 360 tutorial videos) and speaking clearly and not too quickly but also not wasting any time. Perfect.

This has been an awesome set of videos so far. Love it. The only difficulty is that my version of Fusion 360's interface is so much different that what was used in the video. I have been able to muddle my way through successfully. To change the appearance to glass-bronze was not available for me on the right click in the canvas. ELSE... spot on videos. He is clear and concise. Easy to understand. Thank you!!
I had the same issue just now, I found that I was able to complete this command by a few ways as this was a feature I had never played with. You can enable the Appearances menu with the keyboard shortcut (A), additionally you can right click the bottle in the browser and select Appearances, as well as find it under the Modify menu. Other than this one thing I had to look around for, this has been an informative series thus far.
Finished. Had some issues so i started over and it went perfect. Printing this out now on my Ender 3 with sharpie colorizer and 3 brown sharpies in vase mode.
Thanks for the Tutorials! I learned Pro Engineer 4.0 in school (a long time ago now) and most things transfer over but there are some new features and details with the newer software. Its nice to be able to go over the basics again and make sure I'm not missing anything. I am going to go through the entire 30 day program hopefully.
Some fantastic tutorials and really enjoying the working through them. There's some difficulties in finding some things within the new UI but apart from that, you've explained things very clearly. Many thanks!
Thanks again for another great lesson, I’ve found it helpful to take notes and to try and make these objects again after your instruction. The updated video makes it clear what I’m doing, and with only a few discrepancies in UI, learning your techniques is easy.
Another very informative video! Like others, I find that the (seemingly) constant changes to the software make keeping up a little challenging, but very good instruction!
Dude, you have saved me from a brain aneurysm, I really don't think I could do this without your awesome tuition! Thanks very much! Edit: unfortunately the UI seems to have changed quite a bit... brain aneurysm may well be back on the cards :( Unfortunately it can't be rolled back either
Had problems at the cutting out the top of the bottle stage as the circle kept being drawn at the pivot point of the model. Not sure what I was doing wrong but eventually I managed to do it right. Really pleased with myself now. I like to do the tutorial a few times until I've mastered it easily and with no problems. Great tutorial. Thank you so much from the UK.
Hi, CRAFTS49. Glad to hear you worked through it! Don't hesitate to comment if you run into any roadblocks throughout the rest of the series. Cheers, Kevin :)
Kev two things that would make this helpful for people as I was fumbling around till I got it. First remind people if they don't save the file then they are unable to calibrate the image to add the points to the boundary. Second when you are adding the dimension of 9mm to the top and adding the constraint to make sure the line from the center of the bottle to the other splice point is only selected. Because that is where you can constrain the line to horizontal/vertical axis. Hope this helps others.
Thanks for sharing this, Shant. I will take this into consideration as I record future tutorials. Please don't hesitate to comment on any of my videos should you have any questions. Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnlineyou got it brotha. Working through your tutorials so i'm sure i'll have questions. Thanks for taking the time to share these videos. They are helpful in getting my feet wet.
Finally got it done correctly. Took a long time to complete because my version is slightly different from the video. I will have to do this lesson a few more times to get the hang of it.
I would recommend watching my tutorial that covers the new UI updates. I discuss the critical changes in terminology, placement, and iconography, that should help bridge the gap between the old UI and the new one. You can watch that here - ruclips.net/video/tuZzHcmFtg4/видео.html Cheers, Kevin :)

My interface was totally different, too. Solid/mesh/sheet metal/plastic ALL had 'insert' and I had to compare them all to realize they had the same exact choices. time burner.
the newest version of 360 has some subtle changes in locations and some things don't work exactly this way but it worked and I continue my struggle to learn 360. .

Just thought I would let you know that I completed the lesson. Of course, I worked for an automotive company as a design engineer for 30 years so, I pick up CAD apps easily. I notice that your CAD lesson has an old interface and you cannot get appearance by right clicking, find it in modify.
Made it. Thanks. I struggled with the fillet on the top edge. Could not select it, since afterwards (and some googling) I think my initial length of the horizontal line was too small (around 6 mm) ... After setting this length (as explained later on in the tutorial) to 9 mm, I could do the fillet of 1 mm.
@@rpawlinski I took a look at your file. I see in your sketch that you used a spline for the top line. You'll want to delete that and use the regular line command. The spline command is curved and doesn't result in a flat surface, which is why you're not able to create a sketch on the top. Once you replace it with a regular line you'll be able to proceed without any issues.
Just completed Day 2, The changes in the UI are useful in a way, makes you search out and try and make it work! It's tempting to go back and use the old UI, but i'm forcing myself to keep going with the new one. Thanks for your tutorials 👍
Idk why, but it won't let me create a sketch on the top of the bottle. I can select the top of the bottle, but then clicking on the sketch button doesn't work or deselects it, and will only let me sketch on the origin planes or the previous sketch of the profile of the beer bottle. Kind of stumped here. Also, bless your soul for making these. I can't believe you interact and are so kind to everyone here. You are truly a god among us fumbling mortals.
These videos are great. I wasn't able to sketch the circle onto the top of the bottle - I assume Fusion didn't think my bottle top was coplanar to an axis because of the way it was traced? As a workaround, I made an offset plane there. Looking forward to day 3.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Neal! Don't hesitate to comment if you run into any roadblocks as you work through the remainder of the series. Cheers, Kevin :)
ty so much for this content. I've already went through several different tutorial series from different people. I am learning so much about Fusion 360. What did we ever do before youtube? Greetings from Indiana, USA
Hi, Gary. Glad to hear you're enjoying the series. Here's the playlist with all of the most recent videos of the series - bit.ly/learn-fusion360 Please don't hesitate to comment questions on the tutorials as you work through the remainder of the series. Cheers, Kevin :)
Thanks for this tutorial, however I'm unable to select the Edge of the top of the beer bottle to perform the Fillet, it doesn't appear to have an edge, just a face?(edit: I just ended up manually drawing a circle on the top to continue the tutorial)
I know you figured out an alternate solution, but the reason it wasn't working was because of how you created your spline line. When I first did this, I connected the spline line to the first point on the axis line in the center of the bottle, instead of creating that second line like he did.
Did a quick look through your interface change tutorial, but didn't see anything about what happened to "Appearance", found it in the Render Workspace on Render Tab, Setup dropdown. Switching back to old toobar UI, not allowed anymore, btw. I cannot imagine the work needed to keep up with all the product changes, thanks so much for your efforts!
Hi, Vince. I'm assuming you're looking to change the appearance of the bottle to glass? If so, simply hit the keyboard shortcut letter "A" to activate the Appearances dialog. Then, you'll be able to search for the "glass" appearance and drag and drop that onto your bottle. It certainly is a challenge (and frustrating at times) but I do my best to mitigate the issues and to keep the tutorials relevant for as long as possible. Cheers, Kevin :)
Thanks, eeelmane! I'm glad you're enjoying the series. Please don't hesitate to comment questions on the tutorials as you work through the remainder of the series. Cheers, Kevin :)
Hello; Great Video. I ran into an issue that someone else mentioned below, with the SHELL feature not letting me select anything, I went back and re-did the model several times with no change. I also seem to be having issues with the 9mm line at the top not working correctly, changes the shape of my bottle or creates an angle, I believe this does have something to do with constraints. Also since I'm not able to shell out the bottle I'm not able to finish out the design with hole at top due to no body for my extrude to connect with. I'm learning 360 so I'm sure its probably simple issues I'm probably looking over. I'm using the newest version of 360 Student addition V2.0.7830. Thanks.
Hi, RobotBobUSA. Can you check what color the revolve command is in your timeline? If it is ORANGE then you used the surface revolve command. You'll need to undo that and use the BLUE solid modeling revolve command. The shell won't work with a surface body, as it's already just the outer surfaces. In regards to the 9mm line at the top, check to make sure your vertical dividing line of the bottle got an automatic vertical constraint applied to it. If not, you'll need to add one.
@@ProductDesignOnline Looks like that was my issue, I did not choose the correct revolve feature! Thanks so much for getting back to me on this, even though I had moved on to your next couple of videos, it was bugging me that I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong! In regards to the 9mm line it seemed to work this time, but I was unable to add vertical constraint, and I could not see were vertical constraint was add, but I was so happy to be able to shell out the form and finish the bottle that I didn't go back to figure the line situation out, at this time. Thanks again for all the help. I'm starting on day 6 tonight. I was taught some 3D modeling in Tech school using Mastercam, but this Fusion 360 is so much easier to work with!
Quick question, when I try make the hole in the top of the bottle I can't select that plane at the top of the bottle, only in the middle. Is there a way I can change this?
First thing, would be to look at the sketch and make sure the top surface is completely flat. You can add a "Horizontal/Vertical" constraint to ensure it's Horizontal. If a surface isn't planar or completely flat, then it will not allow you to select it.
Thank you so much for your help! Just a suggestion: please explain to us better how to more accurately place spline points when tracing as the lines and the shape starts to go everywhere!
I'm a complete beginner with no prior exposure to the design/engineering world so It took me several tries but I made it through. I downloaded the personal use version on 1/6/21 and I guess the latest version UI is quite different from what you used when making the video. So I spent a lot of time searching to find things or looking for equivalent steps. Also when I adjusted the bottle top to 9mm it put the bottle off center so the final hole cut procedure was off. I went back and removed the 9mm and left it at original dimension and that fixed it and I was able to finish the exercise.
Great video. The one place I got stuck was on creating a hole in the top of the beer bottle. I wasn't given the option to select the top of the beer bottle for drawing the circle for some reason. The only place I could draw was on the axes.
I had to redo this as well. If you trace the top of the bottle too accurately, it will have a rounded top surface that can not be extruded. Make the top of the bottle as flat as possible so you can extrude your hole. That just sounds wrong...
@@Angrygreek00 @Chris Natale, top of my bottle was flat as a pancake. Still can't hollow it out from that face. EDIT: scratch that, adjusted the shell width to be thinner and it worked.
I am unable to cut out the top. when I select the top it will draw the circle in a vertical plane. Can't seem to fix. Also a help to me is how to fix a mistake or delete in the last sketch would be helpful. Thanks
Hi, Jeff. It's hard to say why that's happening without seeing your file. Can you share a link to some screenshots or your file? To delete a sketch you can right-click on it in the timeline (at the bottom) > delete.

Your tutorials are great and very easy to understand. I am following along learn fusion in 30 days. But in this tutorial I have faced a problem which I could'nt solve. insted of side direction the shell command arrow shows down direction, so it cant be shelled. plz let me know how can i change the direction of the shell arrow. Thank you!
Hey Cian, I had the same problem. It is most likely because you used the "Revolve" from the "Surface" Orange menu instead of the "Solid" Blue Menu. You can tell if you did this because the icon next to the body will be a orange revolve symbol instead of the typical white cylinder symbol. Just delete the orange revolve in your timeline and do it again with the Solid Revolve.
Thanks for making these videos. It't helping a great deal, but I'm having a hard time following with the Fusion 360 application because of the new User Interface. Any chance you can modify some of these beginners' intro video to reflect the new interface?
Hi, ptmoy1. This original 30 Days series took me a couple hundred hours (a few months) to record everything. I may start working through the series but updating each day of the course, doing 2 or so a week, as that's about the most I can do while putting out new content as well. I'm hoping to look into this while I have some downtown over the Holidays to see how feasible this would be and to come up with a plan of action. Cheers, Kevin :)
Thanks for your speedy response. Much appreciated. Is there a 'Revised -Revised -Revised' :) version of this tutorial somewhere on the web? It's great that Fusion keeps upgrading this amazing program but we tyros need to be able to track the revisions somehow. Otherwise we end up like Boeing ... :(
Thanks, Minh. I have a long list of tutorials in the queue, so I likely won't get to that. However, I'm always happy to help give you a direction/starting point and some tips for what you're wanting to model. What type of oxygen mask are you looking to create? what parts do you need help with? Cheers, Kevin :)
Thanks for the info, Minh. I would suggest using the "loft" tool for the main body of the mask. You'll also want to make sure you create each part as individual components in case you need to duplicate them or reuse them anywhere. Cheers, Kevin :)
Started the lessons yesterday. I want to thank you for helping me learn Fusion 360! So far the lessons are amazing! I have a question for this one. What if I want the big diameter of the bottle to have a little bit of a curve on the outside? I understand that I could use the scetch points for that, ok, but what if I want to add the curve in the 3d model? Can you do that with fillet somehow, or is there an other specific tool for that? Thanks!
Thank you Kevin, your tutorial is really helpful! I've got a question though, probably a dumb one, is there any difference between the "new component" commands from the "create" and "assemble" menus? Or is it the same command, just found in different menus for supposed convenience?
Hi not Kevin, but yeah its there for convenience. If it were a different function then it would be coloured differently or have a different descrption.
Hello Kevin. Great series, only up to this one but learned a lot already. Thanks. Question: How do you do the "transparent" moves and zooms while you have a different command active? I searched for that function and cannot find it. Rewound your tutorial a dozen times and ???? Sorry if this is an old question. Cheers!
Hi, William. Glad to hear you're enjoying the tutorial series so far! I'm using the center scroll wheel on my mouse to zoom in and out and clicking and holding it to pan left and right. I have more info on the computer mouse I recommend for CAD on my website here - productdesignonline.com/fusion-360-users-what-to-buy/ Cheers, Kevin :)

@@williamwoods8953 Thanks, Bill! As a side note, I do definitely recommend any standard computer mouse over a laptop trackpad. Especially in regards to basic navigation since you can't pan as easy with a trackpad. Cheers, Kevin :)
I get to the revolve and hit a snag. I can not seem to get past this issue. How would I fix this? the error messages are "The sweep could not create a valid body. Try changing the profile or path, or adjusting the operation values." and " Tool Body creation error". But up to this point things were going fine. I will skip to the next lesson and hopefully you could shed some light on this. Thanks in advance.
I've tried to go through twice and every time I get to the shell portion (which worked fine with the lego in the first lesson) It will not let me select body1 from the upper left, so I have an object to shell. I was with you all the way up until there and then I figured I missed something so I went back and started a new page and when I get to the shell portion it will not let me select it once again. Im sure its a setting technicality or the like, but any advice on where to look would help me out greatly. I got stuck on this on day 2 and the day 1 lego following step by step I was stuck for a bit on the bottom offset circle becoming tangent with the extrusions on top, and extruding the offset circle also didn't work the first time. It's a good thing you take your time and explain these lesson step by baby step otherwise I could see people losing interest in this program for being hung up on these small technicalities, even if it is for just a bit.
Hi Joey. It sounds like you may have used the wrong Revolve command. Make sure you select the SOLID tab and select the BLUE revolve command icon. The ORANGE revolve command is a surface modeling tool and will result in a surface body, which is why it won't work. Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline Fantastic, thank you kindly. I clicked the wrong tab up top, and it makes sense to me that you need something solid to make into a shell whereas a surface has no depth from which to create a shell. I greatly appreciate your response and attentiveness, and also for this educational series as a whole! If I have any further questions in later videos it is a great value to me that you have and will respond and you have my subscription and any recommendation I can give to others as a result.

This has been an awesome set of videos so far. Love it. The only difficulty is that my version of Fusion 360's interface is so much different that what was used in the video. I have been able to muddle my way through successfully. To change the appearance to glass-bronze was not available for me on the right click in the canvas. ELSE... spot on videos. He is clear and concise. Easy to understand. Thank you!!
I had the same issue just now, I found that I was able to complete this command by a few ways as this was a feature I had never played with. You can enable the Appearances menu with the keyboard shortcut (A), additionally you can right click the bottle in the browser and select Appearances, as well as find it under the Modify menu.
Other than this one thing I had to look around for, this has been an informative series thus far.
You can click the modify drop down in the top menu and select “Appearance”. I found this solution online, I hope it helps!
Finished. Had some issues so i started over and it went perfect. Printing this out now on my Ender 3 with sharpie colorizer and 3 brown sharpies in vase mode.
Thanks for the Tutorials! I learned Pro Engineer 4.0 in school (a long time ago now) and most things transfer over but there are some new features and details with the newer software. Its nice to be able to go over the basics again and make sure I'm not missing anything. I am going to go through the entire 30 day program hopefully.
Some fantastic tutorials and really enjoying the working through them. There's some difficulties in finding some things within the new UI but apart from that, you've explained things very clearly.
Many thanks!
Please see the updated series here: bit.ly/30daysUpdated
Thanks for the video, very helpful and well explained. Off to make so soft
It is so good thanks for putting efforts and making it a success.
Thanks again for another great lesson, I’ve found it helpful to take notes and to try and make these objects again after your instruction.
The updated video makes it clear what I’m doing, and with only a few discrepancies in UI, learning your techniques is easy.
It was such a nice, helpful and learning video.
Another very informative video! Like others, I find that the (seemingly) constant changes to the software make keeping up a little challenging, but very good instruction!
fantastic lesson as always!!!
i made it with your help, Thank you so much. Let take education to the highest level
I started your 30 days yesterday, I already learned a lot, thank you so much!
Great job - keep going! :)
Dude, you have saved me from a brain aneurysm, I really don't think I could do this without your awesome tuition! Thanks very much!
Edit: unfortunately the UI seems to have changed quite a bit... brain aneurysm may well be back on the cards :(
Unfortunately it can't be rolled back either
N00B learning from scratch. This is nice, thank you
Had problems at the cutting out the top of the bottle stage as the circle kept being drawn at the pivot point of the model. Not sure what I was doing wrong but eventually I managed to do it right. Really pleased with myself now. I like to do the tutorial a few times until I've mastered it easily and with no problems. Great tutorial. Thank you so much from the UK.
Hi, CRAFTS49. Glad to hear you worked through it! Don't hesitate to comment if you run into any roadblocks throughout the rest of the series. Cheers, Kevin :)
how did you figure it out? im stuck there too!
Kev two things that would make this helpful for people as I was fumbling around till I got it. First remind people if they don't save the file then they are unable to calibrate the image to add the points to the boundary. Second when you are adding the dimension of 9mm to the top and adding the constraint to make sure the line from the center of the bottle to the other splice point is only selected. Because that is where you can constrain the line to horizontal/vertical axis. Hope this helps others.
Thanks for sharing this, Shant. I will take this into consideration as I record future tutorials. Please don't hesitate to comment on any of my videos should you have any questions. Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnlineyou got it brotha. Working through your tutorials so i'm sure i'll have questions. Thanks for taking the time to share these videos. They are helpful in getting my feet wet.
@@bigshantolifting You're welcome! I'm always happy to help. Keep at it! Cheers, Kevin :)
this is a wonderful video
totally gonna subscribe
Kevin you are an awesome teacher!
Finally got it done correctly. Took a long time to complete because my version is slightly different from the video. I will have to do this lesson a few more times to get the hang of it.
I would recommend watching my tutorial that covers the new UI updates. I discuss the critical changes in terminology, placement, and iconography, that should help bridge the gap between the old UI and the new one. You can watch that here - ruclips.net/video/tuZzHcmFtg4/видео.html
Cheers, Kevin :)
Excellent video and series. Exactly my pace of learning. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
Thanks, G Smith. I'm glad you're enjoying the series. Please don't hesitate to comment questions on the tutorials as you work through the remainder of the series. Cheers, Kevin :)
I learned alot from this video thank you
Kevin, Are you planning to do an updated beginner tutorial with the new UI? I have seen your video identifying the differences.
Great content, still highly useful and informative. I plan on going through every lesson during quarantine.
Hi, Colin. I'm currently working through lessons for my woodworking course (bit.ly/woodworkingCourse), so I won't be able to revisit this series/course for a while.
Nonetheless, glad to hear you're making the most of your time! Stay safe and healthy! Cheers, Kevin :)
Love it. Very helpful. Thanks.
Sir, I kept doing very well but unfortunately I cant get it 18.33. My bottle center doesnt change to top of bottle. You say 'c' but when I click c on my keyboard, I can choose only the center of bottle. Can u help me to solve this problem :(
Thanks Kevin. Good lesson but I am still trying to get used to the new interface. It will just take some time.
Simply Amazing!
Dude I really appreciate your explanations. You’re the 5th person I’ve watched because the other 4 left out details on their commands. Your tutorials are by far the most comprehensive I’ve come across. I sincerely thank you for the knowledge.🙏
Thanks, Ari! I'm now revising this whole series per the updated UI. You can find the first few lessons (and eventually all of them), here: bit.ly/30daysUpdated
You are awesome!
Thanks a lot brother!!!
Much love and appreciation!!!
Another great video. Had some issues cutting the hole in the top of the bottle as I didn't seem to have a reference plane to create the cut from.
Fantastic tutorials, engaging and very easy to understand. Great job, well done! :)
Thank you so much for the lesson. You are doing a very great job!! Keep making more videos.
Today is my day 2. Managed to create a bottle. Thanks.
Keep going! :)
awesome tutor, perfect videos!
My interface was totally different, too. Solid/mesh/sheet metal/plastic ALL had 'insert' and I had to compare them all to realize they had the same exact choices. time burner.
the newest version of 360 has some subtle changes in locations and some things don't work exactly this way but it worked and I continue my struggle to learn 360. .
Hi Michael. I just released a tutorial today that covers all these new critical changes. You can watch that video here - ruclips.net/video/tuZzHcmFtg4/видео.html
That video should help bridge the gap between the NEW UI and the OLD UI. Please don't hesitate to comment questions on the tutorials as you work through the remainder of the series. Cheers, Kevin :)
Just thought I would let you know that I completed the lesson. Of course, I worked for an automotive company as a design engineer for 30 years so, I pick up CAD apps easily. I notice that your CAD lesson has an old interface and you cannot get appearance by right clicking, find it in modify.
Made it. Thanks. I struggled with the fillet on the top edge. Could not select it, since afterwards (and some googling) I think my initial length of the horizontal line was too small (around 6 mm) ... After setting this length (as explained later on in the tutorial) to 9 mm, I could do the fillet of 1 mm.
Glad you were able to work through it! Don't hesitate to comment if you run into anymore roadblocks. Cheers, Kevin :)
I still can't select top edge of the bottle. When I trying, this selecting 2 faces. Help please.
@@rpawlinski Can you share the link to your file so I can take a look?
@@ProductDesignOnline a360.co/32MH6T7
@@rpawlinski I took a look at your file. I see in your sketch that you used a spline for the top line. You'll want to delete that and use the regular line command. The spline command is curved and doesn't result in a flat surface, which is why you're not able to create a sketch on the top. Once you replace it with a regular line you'll be able to proceed without any issues.
Just completed Day 2, The changes in the UI are useful in a way, makes you search out and try and make it work! It's tempting to go back and use the old UI, but i'm forcing myself to keep going with the new one. Thanks for your tutorials 👍
Best Course.Learned a lot...
another great job, tyvm
Thank you!
I finally did it! Thanks so much!
Awesome... Learning with love
Glad to hear you're learning, karthik A! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! Cheers, Kevin :)
Cheers!! great tutorial.
Thanks, Nick! Happy learning :)
Great video.
Idk why, but it won't let me create a sketch on the top of the bottle. I can select the top of the bottle, but then clicking on the sketch button doesn't work or deselects it, and will only let me sketch on the origin planes or the previous sketch of the profile of the beer bottle. Kind of stumped here.
Also, bless your soul for making these. I can't believe you interact and are so kind to everyone here. You are truly a god among us fumbling mortals.
These videos are great. I wasn't able to sketch the circle onto the top of the bottle - I assume Fusion didn't think my bottle top was coplanar to an axis because of the way it was traced? As a workaround, I made an offset plane there. Looking forward to day 3.
Thanks Kevin!
Thanks for watching and commenting, Neal! Don't hesitate to comment if you run into any roadblocks as you work through the remainder of the series. Cheers, Kevin :)
ty so much for this content. I've already went through several different tutorial series from different people. I am learning so much about Fusion 360. What did we ever do before youtube? Greetings from Indiana, USA
Hi, Gary. Glad to hear you're enjoying the series. Here's the playlist with all of the most recent videos of the series - bit.ly/learn-fusion360
Please don't hesitate to comment questions on the tutorials as you work through the remainder of the series. Cheers, Kevin :)
beautiful
Thanks for this tutorial, however I'm unable to select the Edge of the top of the beer bottle to perform the Fillet, it doesn't appear to have an edge, just a face?(edit: I just ended up manually drawing a circle on the top to continue the tutorial)
I know you figured out an alternate solution, but the reason it wasn't working was because of how you created your spline line. When I first did this, I connected the spline line to the first point on the axis line in the center of the bottle, instead of creating that second line like he did.
Did a quick look through your interface change tutorial, but didn't see anything about what happened to "Appearance", found it in the Render Workspace on Render Tab, Setup dropdown. Switching back to old toobar UI, not allowed anymore, btw.
I cannot imagine the work needed to keep up with all the product changes, thanks so much for your efforts!
Hi, Vince. I'm assuming you're looking to change the appearance of the bottle to glass? If so, simply hit the keyboard shortcut letter "A" to activate the Appearances dialog. Then, you'll be able to search for the "glass" appearance and drag and drop that onto your bottle.
It certainly is a challenge (and frustrating at times) but I do my best to mitigate the issues and to keep the tutorials relevant for as long as possible. Cheers, Kevin :)
as always... grazie.
These are great, thanks!

Hello; Great Video. I ran into an issue that someone else mentioned below, with the SHELL feature not letting me select anything, I went back and re-did the model several times with no change. I also seem to be having issues with the 9mm line at the top not working correctly, changes the shape of my bottle or creates an angle, I believe this does have something to do with constraints. Also since I'm not able to shell out the bottle I'm not able to finish out the design with hole at top due to no body for my extrude to connect with. I'm learning 360 so I'm sure its probably simple issues I'm probably looking over. I'm using the newest version of 360 Student addition V2.0.7830. Thanks.
Hi, RobotBobUSA. Can you check what color the revolve command is in your timeline? If it is ORANGE then you used the surface revolve command. You'll need to undo that and use the BLUE solid modeling revolve command. The shell won't work with a surface body, as it's already just the outer surfaces.
In regards to the 9mm line at the top, check to make sure your vertical dividing line of the bottle got an automatic vertical constraint applied to it. If not, you'll need to add one.
@@ProductDesignOnline Looks like that was my issue, I did not choose the correct revolve feature! Thanks so much for getting back to me on this, even though I had moved on to your next couple of videos, it was bugging me that I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong! In regards to the 9mm line it seemed to work this time, but I was unable to add vertical constraint, and I could not see were vertical constraint was add, but I was so happy to be able to shell out the form and finish the bottle that I didn't go back to figure the line situation out, at this time. Thanks again for all the help.
I'm starting on day 6 tonight. I was taught some 3D modeling in Tech school using Mastercam, but this Fusion 360 is so much easier to work with!
Thanks!
Thanks, Giulliano. I appreciate your support. Happy learning :)
Thanks!
Thanks for your support, Keith! :)
JUST finished day #2! Loving this series, hope i'm much improved by day 30! :0)
Great work! Keep going :)
Quick question, when I try make the hole in the top of the bottle I can't select that plane at the top of the bottle, only in the middle. Is there a way I can change this?
Same here
First thing, would be to look at the sketch and make sure the top surface is completely flat. You can add a "Horizontal/Vertical" constraint to ensure it's Horizontal. If a surface isn't planar or completely flat, then it will not allow you to select it.
Thank you so much for your help! Just a suggestion: please explain to us better how to more accurately place spline points when tracing as the lines and the shape starts to go everywhere!
Great point. Thanks, Farah :)
I'm a complete beginner with no prior exposure to the design/engineering world so It took me several tries but I made it through. I downloaded the personal use version on 1/6/21 and I guess the latest version UI is quite different from what you used when making the video. So I spent a lot of time searching to find things or looking for equivalent steps. Also when I adjusted the bottle top to 9mm it put the bottle off center so the final hole cut procedure was off. I went back and removed the 9mm and left it at original dimension and that fixed it and I was able to finish the exercise.
The Sigma Is COMING😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
Thanks, Kevin! Fantastic tutorial! But for some reason, I was stuck at 14:30. Can't select a profile for revolving, despite its close.
Great video. The one place I got stuck was on creating a hole in the top of the beer bottle. I wasn't given the option to select the top of the beer bottle for drawing the circle for some reason. The only place I could draw was on the axes.
I had to redo this as well. If you trace the top of the bottle too accurately, it will have a rounded top surface that can not be extruded. Make the top of the bottle as flat as possible so you can extrude your hole. That just sounds wrong...
@@Angrygreek00 @Chris Natale, top of my bottle was flat as a pancake. Still can't hollow it out from that face. EDIT: scratch that, adjusted the shell width to be thinner and it worked.
Thanks Kevin.
I am unable to cut out the top. when I select the top it will draw the circle in a vertical plane. Can't seem to fix. Also a help to me is how to fix a mistake or delete in the last sketch would be helpful. Thanks
Hi, Jeff. It's hard to say why that's happening without seeing your file. Can you share a link to some screenshots or your file?
To delete a sketch you can right-click on it in the timeline (at the bottom) > delete.
I think you better do a Corona bottle since we're all here in lockdown learning from your tutorials
lol. Stay safe! :)

Your tutorials are great and very easy to understand. I am following along learn fusion in 30 days. But in this tutorial I have faced a problem which I could'nt solve. insted of side direction the shell command arrow shows down direction, so it cant be shelled. plz let me know how can i change the direction of the shell arrow. Thank you!
Please double-check the correct color shell command is active. It should be the blue solid modeling one and not the orange surface modeling one.
Awesome
Hi Kevin, I have no idea what I did wrong but I'm unable to select the body to shell .? Any advice wouod be great
Hey Cian, I had the same problem. It is most likely because you used the "Revolve" from the "Surface" Orange menu instead of the "Solid" Blue Menu. You can tell if you did this because the icon next to the body will be a orange revolve symbol instead of the typical white cylinder symbol. Just delete the orange revolve in your timeline and do it again with the Solid Revolve.
The Appearance option didn't work by right-clicking in the Canvas area, I needed to use the Modify Drop-Down to select it.
Thanks for making these videos. It't helping a great deal, but I'm having a hard time following with the Fusion 360 application because of the new User Interface. Any chance you can modify some of these beginners' intro video to reflect the new interface?
Hi, ptmoy1. This original 30 Days series took me a couple hundred hours (a few months) to record everything. I may start working through the series but updating each day of the course, doing 2 or so a week, as that's about the most I can do while putting out new content as well. I'm hoping to look into this while I have some downtown over the Holidays to see how feasible this would be and to come up with a plan of action. Cheers, Kevin :)
Thanks for your speedy response. Much appreciated.
Is there a 'Revised -Revised -Revised' :) version of this tutorial somewhere on the web? It's great that Fusion keeps upgrading this amazing program but we tyros need to be able to track the revisions somehow. Otherwise we end up like Boeing ... :(
haha. Good analogy ;) At the moment, I do not have the 30 day series recorded with the latest UI.
Great tutorial. Would you mind creating a tutorial on maling an oxygen mask please?
Thanks, Minh. I have a long list of tutorials in the queue, so I likely won't get to that. However, I'm always happy to help give you a direction/starting point and some tips for what you're wanting to model. What type of oxygen mask are you looking to create? what parts do you need help with? Cheers, Kevin :)
Product Design Online thanks for the reply, my preference will be airface f20 full face mask, but I think I don't need the straps. Anyways, thanks.
Thanks for the info, Minh. I would suggest using the "loft" tool for the main body of the mask. You'll also want to make sure you create each part as individual components in case you need to duplicate them or reuse them anywhere. Cheers, Kevin :)
At 17:11 you said to hit the 'Stop Sketch' button, which I don't have on my interface. Does "esc" do the same thing...or no.
Started the lessons yesterday. I want to thank you for helping me learn Fusion 360! So far the lessons are amazing!
I have a question for this one. What if I want the big diameter of the bottle to have a little bit of a curve on the outside? I understand that I could use the scetch points for that, ok, but what if I want to add the curve in the 3d model? Can you do that with fillet somehow, or is there an other specific tool for that? Thanks!
Hi, stratarg. That is correct, you could use the Model fillet command, which differs from the Sketch fillet command :)
@@ProductDesignOnline thank you. I will give this a shot
Thank you Kevin, your tutorial is really helpful! I've got a question though, probably a dumb one, is there any difference between the "new component" commands from the "create" and "assemble" menus? Or is it the same command, just found in different menus for supposed convenience?
Hi not Kevin, but yeah its there for convenience. If it were a different function then it would be coloured differently or have a different descrption.
Hello Kevin. Great series, only up to this one but learned a lot already. Thanks. Question: How do you do the "transparent" moves and zooms while you have a different command active? I searched for that function and cannot find it. Rewound your tutorial a dozen times and ???? Sorry if this is an old question. Cheers!
Hi, William. Glad to hear you're enjoying the tutorial series so far! I'm using the center scroll wheel on my mouse to zoom in and out and clicking and holding it to pan left and right. I have more info on the computer mouse I recommend for CAD on my website here - productdesignonline.com/fusion-360-users-what-to-buy/
Cheers, Kevin :)
Thanks Kevin. Going to do at least the next tutorial right now, and I did look at your mouse recommendations... a bit outta my price range right now, but if/when I purchase I will definitely purchase thru your link.... the least I can do for all this awesome training! Rgds, Bill in AZ.
@@williamwoods8953 Thanks, Bill! As a side note, I do definitely recommend any standard computer mouse over a laptop trackpad. Especially in regards to basic navigation since you can't pan as easy with a trackpad. Cheers, Kevin :)
I get to the revolve and hit a snag. I can not seem to get past this issue. How would I fix this? the error messages are "The sweep could not create a valid body. Try changing the profile or path, or adjusting the operation values." and " Tool Body creation error". But up to this point things were going fine. I will skip to the next lesson and hopefully you could shed some light on this. Thanks in advance.
I've tried to go through twice and every time I get to the shell portion (which worked fine with the lego in the first lesson) It will not let me select body1 from the upper left, so I have an object to shell. I was with you all the way up until there and then I figured I missed something so I went back and started a new page and when I get to the shell portion it will not let me select it once again. Im sure its a setting technicality or the like, but any advice on where to look would help me out greatly. I got stuck on this on day 2 and the day 1 lego following step by step I was stuck for a bit on the bottom offset circle becoming tangent with the extrusions on top, and extruding the offset circle also didn't work the first time. It's a good thing you take your time and explain these lesson step by baby step otherwise I could see people losing interest in this program for being hung up on these small technicalities, even if it is for just a bit.
Hi Joey. It sounds like you may have used the wrong Revolve command. Make sure you select the SOLID tab and select the BLUE revolve command icon. The ORANGE revolve command is a surface modeling tool and will result in a surface body, which is why it won't work.
Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline Fantastic, thank you kindly. I clicked the wrong tab up top, and it makes sense to me that you need something solid to make into a shell whereas a surface has no depth from which to create a shell. I greatly appreciate your response and attentiveness, and also for this educational series as a whole! If I have any further questions in later videos it is a great value to me that you have and will respond and you have my subscription and any recommendation I can give to others as a result.
Thank you Kevin
