I am SO glad to see you've refreshed your "Beginner" videos ... which was great (the best, actually) for getting me started many years ago. Since I haven't been using Fusion for awhile, this is the perfect refresher for me, so a hearty "Thanks".
I am positively impressed and grateful for your willingness to help rookies like me understand the intricacies of Fusion 360. Very well presented and easy to follow. 👍
I don't comment on videos often, but I have to say - this tutorial was amazing. Crystal clear, straight to the point but also not skipping over details. I am so happy to have found your videos and I will be going over your Fusion 360 beginner playlist over the next several days to learn the basics and hopefully start designing my own models for 3D printing!
Out of the top 5 videos I saw for this program yours was by far the most thorough. You explained the controls themselves which is what was tripping me up. The other guys would jump right in to "Ok let make this object." They would briefly describe projects, and how to save your file, but wouldn't describe the controls themselves. Thank you for breaking this down and being thorough.
Agreed. "Make the object" is useless if you don't know how to first navigate its canvas.
I agree with this. spent a great chunk of my day yesterday getting lost on small things in the previous tutorials. this is much better if you're getting your hands on for the first time
This is the best introductory video on Fusion 360 that I've found. I've been manhandling Tinkercad for the last 5 years and decided to join the big kids with Fusion 360. This video helped a TON. Thank you!
Your tutorials on CG Essentials were always my go-to resource when learning Blender. Now that I'm getting into 3d printing, Fusion 360 comes highly recommended as a modeling tool. So, I was so pleased to stumble onto these tutorials for Fusion. Your manner of presenting concepts in a clear, understandable way is great. Keep up the great work.
Glad I've been able to help! I actually really like Fusion for maker style modeling like this - super powerful tool! :)
This is one of the most detailed and basid, easy to understand for dummies tutorial. Subscribed and liked.
Glad you liked it!
You have saved me so much time. I'm new to Fusion and trying to create my own projects for 3D printing. This has been a life and time saver for me for making useful and simple things. Thank you sir. Liked and subscribed.
By far the best tutorial for beginners in Fusion 360 I came across on RUclips. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, Thank you so much. I am an AutoCAD and Solid Works guy, I've always had a "mental block" to learning Fusion 360. This video has certainly removed the entry level barrier for me.
Hey Justin, thank you for providing free access and indexing such great education.
Your earlier vidoes were some of the only useful Fusion videos I could find for many years as a beginner,
Glad I've been able to help! :) Thanks for watching!
Great timing on starting this series, I'm just getting started in Fusion 360, so thank you! Could you do a future video on making boxes with finger joints and how to deal with the Kerf? Also any design help with other laser cut projects.
That was a great tutorial - followed that perfectly, and finished off my toolbox in Cherry with chrome handle... ready for the next lesson!
You just convinced me to use Fusion 360 for my modeling hobby. I have been using AutoCAD LT for 20 years as a commercial foodservice designer, so Fusion 360 has similar operations and processes. I will be downloading the program and then following your fine tutorial.
Your videos are always so simple to understand. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
You taught me SketchUp and now learning Fushion360 😂. Thanks, Justin!
Glad that you are back after a 3year break! Great videos, keep them coming!
That's the plan!
This is a very great video for complete Beginners that's great... I can't wait to get to the advanced lessons
I so much enjoyed this part 1. I have tried other tutorials and constantly got lost. I appreciate you going into the more detail of what you click on etc. I did have a problem following you in one part, the dowel. After many failures, I finally got it to work but I don't understand how. I guess what I don't understand is how you selected the hole (circle). I hope you can clear that up for me or direct me to where I could get a better understanding of this. You have the best instruction I have yet found and I plan to stay with you as my primary instructional video. Thanks
It took me a few minutes of playing around to figure out what happened here too. At 14:27 he sets Sketch1 to visible. Once you do that, the middle of the circle will become selectable and you can use the extrusion tool like he shows at 19:10.
Thanks for taking the time to do this !
super smooth video. the mouse action was far superior than that of some other crash courses. well done thanks
Hey just wanted to say thank you for the content. I watched one of your other series' to get started about a month ago when i got into 3d printing and making functional prints. It helped alot to follow your content.
Really glad I've been able to help! :)
I have completely maxed out tinkercad's capabilities and I am finally sitting down and learning fusion360. This was amazingly helpful and I am kicking myself for not jumping ship sooner!
just started mechanical drafting this semester so this is perfect thanks
Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions about this video in the comments below! :)
this was amazing and so much fun, thank u so much, i learned a lot.
Just like to say thanks for putting your time into creating this learning asset for use newbies as it was very helpful.
You won my subscription. Thank you and please make more videos.
Thank You , one thing i hate is when someone makes a video and says FOR BEGINNERS and its not ,,it is what you said and i probably will watch it again , its what i was looking for . thanks again
Great instructional video! I do have one question. I have a 4k monitor and the grid lines are hard to see. In prefs under drawing I maxed out the setting but no decernable difference, am I missing something to get darker grid lines? thanks again for you support.
Excellent video!! Thank you.
Wow man. Seriously great tutorial. Thanks!
I followed your steps then i made it.Thank you very much.
Thanks ao much! Great tutorial 👍👍
Very nice tutorial, thanks! Looking forward to the next part.
wow, such an awesome beginner tutorial, and likewise, you're a great instructor. Big big thanks.
Really glad I've been able to help! :)
Thanks for having started to do content of fusion 360 again, It is very well explained. Keep going please!!
It'll probably just be bits and pieces here and there, but I'm happy to be back working with it! :)
Excellent tutorial. Thanks very much.
Nice tutorial!
Its good that you actually start from basics and help to build some fundamental knowledge
Glad it was helpful!
Subscribed! Great instructions. Thanks for taking the time to explain things along the way!
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you, very clear and useful tutorial
Great video, at first fusion does not seem intuitive at all, but I think with just watching the first video of yours , it does become more intuitive.
So hopefully by binge watching your videos, while doing it on my laptop, I’ll be able to make some simple objects for my 3d printer 🙏🏻
Amazing thank you!
Outstanding video. Very clearly explained. I love it. Thanks for sharing.
Very clear introduction. Thanks.
Thank you for posting
I'm so happy that you're back!!
Amen!
Great video. thanks!
so easy to understand. Thank you very much!
Glad it was helpful!
thank you this helped me make my first project
Really great video, it's helped a lot in taking the first steps into starting to use the software.
Can I ask, when extruding you mention to change the default operation from 'join' to 'new body' is this to ensure that you have control over editing the individual elements in future? or is it more difficult to edit 'joined' geometry? - Are you able to change these defaults to your own preferences?
Thank you :)
Thanks. Coming over from SketchUp Make 2017 lol. Do you have to group all those components prior to exporting as STL or is it clever enough to realize that is the intention?
great video, helped me get started to design in Fusion 360, so far find a bit easier to use than onshape that i was using before, still trying to find some functions as they located in different menus. but hope it will only get easier for me
just getting into fusion 360 your tutorials are ace thankyou
Great tutorial for a newbie! Easy to understand, well explainend! Looking forward to more videos from you
Thank you very much! Very informative and newbie-friendly)
Such an amazing tutorial good job🎉
That was a good video.
I'm happy you made it.
Something I learnt from this video:
Zoom out
Thanks for the great tutorial. I was only having one small issue. When i go to create the dowel and extrude it, its extruding the entire top all of the way across and not just the circle even though i only have the circle selected..
Really great video for a beginner like me, you explain really well!
Great simple intro tutorial.
I've tried a few other tutorials and felt like they were missing steps or not explaining what just happened. Frustrating. This? I learned more in the first 15 minutes than in all the other tutorials I tried. Thanks for such a great product!
Thank you
This is very exciting…built my very first plane, yayy😂😂😂
Great tutorial. I am trying find a good program to start with.
I am a 3D printer and want to design my own designs, without depending on Thingiverse which i can find a object that suites my purpose. Love how you walkthrough the steps.
Thank you
Wonderful as always!
Greetings from Eastern Arabia 🎉
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for these videos. When I move/copy a body it only follows the grid. it doesn't align with the other body if that body is not aligned with the grid
Great content. You make it easy to understand. I am just getting going with using Fusion 360 for my woodworking and am in the market now for an X Carve Pro. Do you or will you have any content on how to go from Fusion 360 into Easel Pro so I can cut on an X Carve Pro? Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately that's not something I've done before
Excellent tutorial
Is there a free versioin of this? Love this program thanks for the tutorial!
Best first lesson by far on RUclips!
Glad it was helpful!
THANK YOU! I have been thinking of starting to learn this for hobby projects, and have been frustrated until now. I use a Cricut, and the software is very similar to Windows....but fusion is a more professional tool that needs some work.
I sat, watched and have been able to create what I want to draw, well started to anyway.
Great tutorials - well explained and thorough
Glad you like them!
Its good to see your back, fusion 360 has the add on Nifty dog bone, are you planning any future vids using such addons as this would be good as a project to laser cut parts and assemble etc.
I would like to do some add-on videos on the future for sure - I can add this to the list
Cool job, man, thanks for restarting the series about the Fusion 360. And hey, if may I ask - could you recomment the best way how to work with F360 from the step review perspective? Meaning - I could "hard code" measurements of an object, but through the parameters in project I could just call the parameter and in case of a change, I can just change it in there and I don't need to go step by step in the timeline to change it. Hope it makes sense. I am kind of interested in those features and hints.
Yup - this is something I'm interested in learning more about anyway - I've really only done this the manual way, but I know there's a lot more power under the hood for this kind of thing
Awesome 🤩😍
hello sir, which one do you recommend for woodworkers - Sketchup or Fusion 360 ?
so this is like auto-cad but have simulations and animate ur object or subject?
Is there a video on working with mesh objects?
I agree and support all the compliments said by others in their comm and I have some questions: you said to always select New Body and not Join. What is the reason for that? Is it specific to this project only? I, for e.g., need to make an enclosure (box + lid) for 3D printing with different material and/or vacuum casting. When is it ok to join the sketches?
Keep them coming. I'm a sponge. I think the main issue I have with Fusion is that its hard to understand how intuitive it is. I overthink the the things i need to do to get what I want. I come from old cad/cam software.
Hello
That was a very good video
Kindly reply
I'm unable to do one thing that is I'm unable to extrude the circle.
Kindly tell me what is the reason
When I give the extrude command, there is no way of selecting the circle for extruding
Justin, Great videos, But I am wondering if you could help me figure out how to make a sketch change to a specific size, actual dimensions. I made full size templates then took a picture of it with a 1" drawn on the template so i could trace over it both the periphery and the line I drew at exactly 1" . the shape i'm making is to fill in a corner of my truck sheet metal / Plasma... Another way I tried was measure the template width but when i click on the first point it is actually curved so it lights that up then i move the curser to the left side and click and that is an arc also I was hoping i could click each side and put the actual dimension in to grow the part to exact size? Thanks for trying to understand where i'm coming from -Rick
I found it! On one of Your videos of course. (ruclips.net/video/lmgFV-JTWxo/видео.html) You do a really good job of explaining things clearly, Thanks Justin!!
So if I were to 3D print this myself, would I need to create each part into its own component so that I can just easily assemble each part together once each part is done printing?
nice thanks for share
Thanks for watching!
I don't understand why my extrude command gives me an arrow opposite from yours. To extrude in the same direction, front to back, I put a negative before the distance. Not on all the extrudes, just the ones on the first part, the first end piece and later the dowel.
great video
Very well explained
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the amazing introductory tutorial. Do you have a paid Fusion 360 course that we could enroll in?
Not at the moment - I would like to add a Fusion 360 course at some point though
Got all the way to the extrude dowel and cant select it... i've lost the little dot thing in the middle of the circle...help!
Yeah, I had the same problem.
Hopefully, you figured it out by now, but in case you didn't:
Go to your left side that lists all the sketches, select 'Sketch1'. On the left side, there is what looks like a little eye. You need to click on that to make the sketch visible and then you'll see the center dot in the middle of the hole.
Hope that helps.
Hutch
Same for me. Nothing seems to allow me to select it.
Great video. Might I suggest including design concepts for beginners. For example, Why separate "Bodies?" Why not "Join" as a selection as you add to your model.
this is so easy to understand. tons of thanks
You save my life
At 17:09 this method is creating that side that's selected to be slightly offset on the side of the front, and there's no way to move it into position, well for a noob like me. Is there a way to move the wall into position again? I'm doing this with mm and not inches
Thank you for your videos but there are certain things you fail to provide that are vital to understanding and following you. I noticed that while you're using your mouse to select etc, you're also using your zoom tool, I'm guessing with your other hand. Is there are keyboard shortcut to the zoom tool? Also how can one simply modify a sketch after it has been finished. I noticed my sketch was too wide and needed to shorten it. How would you do that. Also I'm not sure if you're on a Mac or PC but your instruction to shift plus mouse to orbit doesn't work on a Mac.
The center point of your plain is not in the center of your screen, when I follow these directions mine is. The problem is that when I start sketching I run out of real-estate very quickly because it's running off screen. I can't seem to move the plain around like in Tinkercad. What setting to I need to adjust to have my center point offset like yours?
Trying to work through this.
When sketching the side of the box from the back of the first side, no matter whether I start at the top of the bottom, when I go to place a third or final point, the cursor changes to a hand and tells me to Click To change Sketch Plane .. which of course messes everything up!
Can you please explain what is happening?
Thanks.
Hi. Im very new to this Fusion 360 and trying not to lose my mind...lol. In general your videos are great but the frustrations come from the differences that i see online to my real life. And i cant figure it out. Simple things like why is your cursor highlighted yellow?. I cant get mine to change. As i sketch i dont see the save bar in the top middle ever pop up. Finally i follow exactly step by step and when i get to the base, my base wants to extrude inward...not away(out,downwards) like yours does. Im stuck!. Help Thanks
So, the "base" of this toolbox is below the plane. Is that gonna be a problem later?
Very new to Fusion so appreciate you making these tutorials. Have been able to follow mostly. Currently can’t highlight the hole to extrude the handle. Fusion keeps grabbing the whole side, so not sure what I’m doing wrong. Any ideas?
I had the same problem. After a bit of trial and error, I found out that the sketch for the end side was not visible and therefore the hole could not be selected. Once I made it visible it worked.
Hopefully it solves the problem for you too.
thanks - will check what i did.@@Raknarek
