I love your one type of command at a time video, I can refamiliarize myself with a command without having to watch an hour video and hope they mention the command I am looking for.
Thanks, Adam! I plan to start tackling the modeling commands next, now that the new UI is finally released. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! Cheers, Kevin :)
Great video, thank you! If you really need to offset from geometry that itself has already been offset, then a work-around is to create an intermediate constraint relationship - e.g. project the first offset onto a new sketch then offset from that. This should maintain the parametric relationships.
The direction that the offset goes by default is slightly complicated. Draw a line, the first point you click is point one, the second one you click is point 2. If you sat your head at point 1 and looked at point 2 the default direction of the offset is to the right. The direction of the rectangle tools depends on what corners you click. from the perspective of the first clicked point, Up Right : outward, Up Left : Inward, Down Left : Outward, Down Right : Inward.
Hi Bernie - Thanks for this suggestion! I've had a handful of people ask for help with the move tool, so I could definitely see this being beneficial. I've added this to the list and I'll try to make a video on this in the next week or so. Cheers, Kevin :)
Thanks, Steve! All of the sketch tools are now located in the SKETCH contextual tab. The tricky part is that the sketch tab will only appear in the toolbar when you're in an active sketch environment. You'll need to "create sketch" or edit an existing sketch for the SKETCH tab to appear in the toolbar. Then, once you have selected the sketch tab you'll see the Offset feature along with all the others located under the "create" dropdown. Alternatively, if you're looking to find the features faster (without the navigation headache) you can use the shortcuts box. Select the keyboard letter "S" to activate the shortcuts box > search for the desired tool.
Great video, is there a way to erase or "not keep" the sketch object being offset? I realize this would no longer be an offset by definition but I find myself needing to do this regardless.
Hi. Great videos. Really helpful, thank you. I have an svg sketch with many different parts. I'm trying to offset around the whole sketch, but it's only letting me do one part at a time, which never comes out right. Is there a way of doing it in one? Do I have to create a separate sketch around the outside, so trace the outline somehow? Is there an easy way of doing that?
We will be using Fusion 360 to convert all of our wooden canoe parts to a digital environment (from hand drawn plans) and manufacturing them on an Onsrud flatbed CNC milling/routing machine.
Thank you for the great tutorial! Offset on the face of the shaft no longer supported in Fusion 360, I can select shaft geometry as you show and set offset to it. How can this be done now?
Nice Video as always :) I would appreciate it if you could make a video about the "Hole Command". Is it possible to create a tapered hole where you define the length, top and bottom radius of it? I want to create standard ground joint with it.
Thanks, QuoKkA! Yes, you can achieve that with the hole command. They actually just added another update to the hole command with the latest version of Fusion 360. I'll have to make a video on all those modeling commands after I'm done with this sketch list. Cheers, Kevin :)
I have imported a node mcu model from grab cad into fusion 360. I create new sketch and project the outer part of the node then offset and the center is the shape of the node. I need it full because I am trying to make a case for the node mcu. But IDK it is frustrating.
Flip... This is driving me crazy. Your flip behaves like i think the function should, ie flip and the value is positive but in the other direction, my program i hit flip it say _ value... so when i have to type in a value i have to add - each time, and no matter wtf i do. my initial selection is always in the wrong direction so i have to always put in - first. yet yours behaves..... argh.
im trying use offset after creating a square then extruding it -.750 i added 7 holes and placed them with sketch dimensions now i need a .300 square on the inside of my box to make a pocket and when i try to offset the line my offset tool comes up but i cant select anything... I'm doing the titan cnc academy courses and I've done them all once now I am trying to do them without the video and I am having issues. Any idea why its not available to me this time I have screenshots of my problem but cant upload them on here obviously
Hi Jeremy. It's hard to say what the issue is without seeing your screen. Here are a few notes with the offset tool. -You can offset from 3D edges (in your case the edge of the box). After activating the offset tool you will need to select the face to create the sketch on before selecting an edge -You can ONLY offset from original sketch lines (as in, you can't offset from another offset) You can share a link of a screenshot using Google Drive or snipboard.io Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline its like once i start adding features to my sketches i lose the ability to offset do you know of anything in the settings that would affect the offset tool i might have accidentally changed
@ProductDesignOnline *Offset a 3D Mesh* I have a 3D Scan. I'm attempting to make a mold around the 3D Scan, with a Mold offset of 1inch from the 3D Scan's body. How?

Very well done. You didn't assume that your viewers already understood all of the features involved, and you laid it out step by step. Thank you.

This was perfect, thank you!!
Thank you for another very detailed and informative video.
Thank you. Excellent presentation!
I was wondering if you could do a video on the move tool particularly addressing the re-acher and the measure features? Thank you

Very nice mate! Your style is easy to follow :)
You’re teaching style is super. My issue is my version of fusion 360 is different than yours so I can’t find the tools in the same place

Is there a way to offset to both sides of a curve in one command?
Unfortunately, there currently is not. You have to perform the function twice.

I have a 3D Scan.

How?
