Just found this after doing the 3 tutorials. It was still very useful. I would never have tackled Fusion if it weren’t for these videos. I’ll bet there are literally thousands of people out there who are quietly using your videos to learn Fusion but never leave comments. Your vids are hands down the best out there. THANK YOU!
Hi Lars, Thank you for posing this. I am 69 years old, and I am trying to learn fusion 360. Your series for absolute beginners is great to get you going. This however helped me a lot to move around in the model area. Keep up the great work and keep them coming.
At time of this writing, these educational video series are 1.5 yrs old or more, but they are still highly appreciated and worth every second of viewing. I ended up here after I followed the Box+Lid demo and was very annoyed about my lack of skills navigating around in the Fusion environment. Finally I'm beginning to feel at home in Fusion 3D :-) Thanks Lars !
You're forgiven if you keep your excellent videos coming!! These are far more demonstrative to me than the tutorials through the Autodesk site because I can watch the video while I'm on Fusion 360. Also, I appreciate your demeanor and clear, concise directions (which, take it from a high school teacher) is tricky in a "live" environment. You do great work!!!
i dont know this Lars Christensen but he is a real master of fusion 360.. he knows every details and has a deep understanding of this application.. you have been helping people by sharing your knowledge.. you are good man... thanks .. i will keep reviewing all your videos..
Yes. Your work adds value to Fusion 360. I felt like I was working with rocks & sticks until I watched your beginners series today. Thank you! I already feel 100% more competent with Fusion 360 already. Now I need to practice.
Just because I've been using Fusion 360 for quite a while, I would never skip your videos, I learn something new from every single one, and this one was no exception. Are your streams valuable, you bet they are. I've learned so much from them. Keep up the great work Lars.
Ok so I figured out 85% of this on my own so far, but this was worth the watch for the other 15%. Me: "How can you make a 20+ min. video about panning and zooming? - I better watch it". Happy I did, because I definitely learned some stuff. I owe you the beer, Sir.
Lars, I am brand new to Fusion 360 and I cant tell you how much I appreciate your videos, you have made it very easy to get started in using Fusion 360 since I have no clue what I doing yet! I too am a RUclips Creator, just a hobby guy in his shop and will be using the software to 3D Model parts for my new Ender-3 3D printer series, should make for some good content on my channel. I will be giving you as well as Fusion 360 a huge shout out! Thanks again and keep them coming!
Lars, if you are ever in Vancouver my son and I will buy you supper and a beer!!! We are all blessed, for lack of a better word, to have people like you to illuminate our learning journey. Thanks for your videos bud, they are appreciated!!
I just started your beginner series yesterday. I was really struggling when trying to rotate the model. Ran across this tutorial today - LIFESAVER! Also, imagine my surprise when you mention coming to Buffalo, NY. I'm from East Aurora. Small world. I ought to buy you a beer for the awesome videos.
I'm just learning Fusion 360 after playing with SketchUp for years. The learning curve is steep, but your videos have helped tremendously. This one was the most important for a beginner like me, so thank you for posting it.
I was driving myself crazy trying to figure out all of this when I watched your first 3 beginner tutorials so this was a total breath of fresh air. Thanks so much. Gonna get the Spacemouse Pro Wireless too!
Just found these live streams by Lars and they are great. I am an experienced CAD user and have some experience with Inventor and now Fusion and even though some of the items he addressed were well known to me I still gained a lot of additional information from the video. And most importantly Lars' delivery and presentation is clear easy to follow and very understandable. Best videos of this type I have seen. Les
Another awesome video for absolute beginners! So glad my friend recommended Lars Christensen videos for Fusion360. Very easy to understand, information that will make your CAD career SO much easier! Keep up the good work Lars!
I've just spent 4 hours working on this and I am VERY appreciative of all this. Thank you. There is enough here that is similar enough to the original AutoCAD that this does not feel completely new.
After watching the first in this series I thought i had missed the instruction on how to "get about" the drawing. I set my drawing aside and stumbled upon this video. i had figured out some of the ways to get about but this made me feel better that I was not just missing the obvious. If there is a way to put a comment in that first video to refer to this one it might save some frustration.
actually found you because another class on skillshare didnt explain this at all and my brain was imploding trying to make it rotate the way I wanted to. Subscribed, now I owe you a beer, thanks!
I got the 3D Connexion Space Connection (3D mouse) after you mentioned it and WOW!!! This makes moving the 3D model so much easier!!! Yes it can be done with a regular mouse but I would not want to be without this Space Navigator moving forward. I got a good deal on ebay so I am very happy. So glad you mentioned these as I did not know they existed.
as i am new to Fusion 360,I am working with the version 2.0.8176 Of course Lars uses software that is several years old and sometimes the menus and displays do not match with my screen. It is hard to keep up with his explanations when I am trying to sort the same movements (clicks) on my screen. I know the pause button .helps a lot. Thanks for the well done lessons.
I’ve just recently discovered your channel as a result of my interest in learning Fusion 360. Your beginner tutorials have been an immense help to my efforts. This video was especially helpful in filling a missing link in my understanding. You might consider adding it to the tutorial playlist. As it happens, I layover in Buffalo now and again. Maybe I could buy you a beer some time. Great channel. Excellent content. Cheers.
I have been watching your videos for a while now Lars and last night I purchased Fusion 360 and now have some confidence to start using it. Thank you for all your great work, it is much appreciated for all of us, beginners. :-)
Thanks, Lars. I think you have a great balance between presenting the information at the right speed while also anticipating people's questions and stumbling blocks and making it a very valuable use of time for us viewers - particularly beginners like myself. I hope the bosses have kept your live streams going. Thanks again.
If you are working with a trackpad on Mac: - Zoom : two finger pinch open and close - Pan: Two finger slide around - Rotate: Shift + two finger slide
2 года назад
Great!!!! Thanks! And also on a mac, when I hover on the "home" icon in the corner, I can't rotate without holding shift as Lars said in the video. Any idea why?
Great tutorials. Now that I’ve gotten my feet wet for a month, I’ve come back to review, and find 1000 things I missed the first time. BTW, I also liked your body of work portraying Hans Landa in “Inglorious Basterds”.
Hi Lars, as an engineer coming from other CAD systems, I find your videos very informative and helpful in teaching me Fusion 360. Thanks for excellent videos.
I have never did anything with CAD but I was always interested in the work of CAD. So you brought me with four videos Fusion 360 already very close. I thank you a lot so that you spent many efforts in your videos. With your enthusiastic and on the same time calm kind you explained it very easy. Actually on your daytime job you must be a Tutor! Wishing you much luck, joy and health in whatever you do. Thank you for your helpful videos.
Thanks for these useful videos Lars, super useful for me to pickup and understand, i had put off using fusion as it is so unintuitive for beginners, for such a long time. I can now create simple usable models for my 3d printer, all thanks to you.
great tips! I'd be interested to see how you use the 3D Connection mouse you shared at the beginning and when you might choose to use the knob on the 3D Connection mouse vs the various pan/zoom/orbit/rotate techniques you shared using a traditional mouse and keyboard.
Just started to 3D print parts for my 1950s trains, using M3D and 123D. Saw Fusion 360 and took a look. I made a Cam and Firebox in 123D but could not make anything with 360. Saw your video, and all the capability it blew me away. I am in line for a PC Upgrade, new mouse and I and thinking about a live steam scale train this year. Your video was most encouraging that retired old Engineers can have life after 65. Thank You, and thank your parents for me they seemed to have done a very good job.
Did your absolute beginner videos #1 & #2 , indeed, struggled to efficiently navigate... next day a quick Google result put this video at the top of the result... very happy to once again get an excellent lesson from Lars! Now, back to absolute beginner video #3!
Lars you are such a legend and apologizing to us for teaching us for free!? :) Your videos are excellent and I switched to F360 because of your tutorials!
Just started to dive into Fusion and watched your beginners series, it's awesome! Especially as you skip the easy menu part and just teach the right way immediately. I wish my school did that back in the day. :) And yes navigation was a bit of getting used to, but if people complain about that, I wonder if they can ever grasp the full potential of Fusion anyway.
Hi Vincent Groenewold Thank you for watching! Might be a great point! Hope you have an awesome day!
4 года назад+2
Your video is fantastic. Learning alot. And I found this before I go forward in the other videos. One thing I missing here is that in the first lesson when you punch Q in the keyboard the view change smooth from plane to 3d view.
Thanks Lars, Your videos are the best. I started off with CadKey quite a few years ago and it has been such a pleasure to see how much simpler things have become with this new software. I think the main reason is YOU. You have a way of teaching that makes it simple to learn. Please keep it up. I'm glad you made this video. It does make things much easier. Be well, Isidro
Thanks. That was most helpful. Got 10 mins into the absolute beginners video and went to search for this. So back to the beginners series. Thanks!! May the learning continue (I feel is a long road).
I came from the absolute beginner guide and whilst this would have been helpful, it wasn't a major issue for me. The changing of the zoom is the best tip of the lot. P.S. Thank you for these videos, it is making a product I thought would be a nightmare really quite approachable.
Excellent video! I had no idea the mouse could do so much. Got rid of my 2 button Apple Mouse and purchased a three button mouse to take advantage of all the features and I'm loving it. Lars, thank you for taking the time to do this video.
Sir this video really teach me a lot, i'm just starting to use fusion 360 and i allready watched your 3 videos for using fusion 360 for begginers, thanks a lot sir👍👍👍
Lars, thank you for your video series! I am a Fusion 360 newbie--actually a CAD newbie. The last time I did anything like this was back in college and that was drafting (on vellum no less). When I lived in Maine I used to go through Buffalo on occasion. If I make it back that way I will net you know, but I will be buying you the beer!
Hi Lars, thank you for cleening up loose ends. I'm new to Fusion 360 and as it is, it's not so easy for a beginner. Up to now I was drawing things up with a very old Programm, also from Autodesk, called Autosketch 9. I find your Videos excellend, understandable and very competent. I'm sure I watch all of them one by one, and some more then once. Sorry about my english, my language is German, and Fusion 360 is in german and this brings smetimes a bit of confusion. Never mind, I get along fine. Comming from Switzerland and living in Italy (Tuscany), retired with a Workspace on the back of the house, including lathe, milling and so on. At the moment I'm constructing a little 8-station revolving toolchanger for my 7 x 14 lathe. And this brings me to a problem I could not solve. The internal shaft of this setup is to have 8 holes equally spaced on the circumference, longsides. I meen square to the centre about 8 mm deep. No idea how to do this. My background: I used to work with DMG-Mori as a service technican, allmost 30 years. I know the whole story about CNC machining, right from the beginning. I hope this was not to boring, but understandable and with a minimum of spelling errors. Have a great Day, Luzius
Hi Luzius Clement Thank you for watching! ANd for taking the time to write! Your English is very good. 2 Different suggestions/Methods... 1, You could approach it the same way you would machine it on your DMG-Mori. So model a big block of steel and start carve/ cut material away until your toolchanger appears. 2. Sketch up the toolchanger on a notepad with pencil and pen in a topdown view. Then, sketch all those same lines in a Fusion 360 sketch and start extruding the different parts from that. Hope this is helpful. Best, Lars
Good morning Lars, thank you for the quick replay, and for the suggestions. I managed my problem, but in a different way. In a weeks time I let you know whats actually all about, regards and thanks, Luzius
Thank you Lars! I am new to Fusion and your videos have been very helpful. They are clear, easy to follow and well paced. I am based in Buffalo too so if I ever have the pleasure of meeting you the beers are totally on me.
Thank you! I learned couple of new tricks, but the more importantly, you happened to resolve my major problem. I was sooo frustrated after changing from MAC to Windows 10, where this pan and rotate felt impossible and awfully cumbersome, even when using a mouse. But at the end, it was just my own confusion about my wireless mouse and its interpretation of middle button. I had forgotten that it has extra small button which I had learned to function as a menu, but on Windows it seems to be the middle button. How nice. I expected the pressing the wheel (which is a bit cumbersome) to be the middle button, but I was mistaken. After this little confusion was resolved, everything now functions just as smoothly as I had learned using a MAC (with the exception that now I have to learn a new grip of my mouse to access the middle button, which is not as ergonomic as I would hope for...).
Your intro to this video really made me laugh. I did your intro tutorial videos and really enjoyed them and learned a lot but watching you pan and rotate was driving me nuts! :-) I did catch on that I could left-click on the view cube and rotate the model in that way but I couldn't work out how you were doing it. I did a bunch of google searches and I couldn't find one that give me that info. I was obviously not using the right words in the search. I think I was doing something like "Fusion360 how to rotate object" so all the videos were about how to pivot an object on a specific axis. Eventually I landed on this video which had the information I was looking for. Thank you! I came to this from a bit of a tangent - I am a programmer and was simply trying to learn some 3D modelling to print something for an IoT demo we're doing. What I found is that I really enjoy this and will be learning more. So if I ever get to Buffalo, New York I will be claiming a beer. :-)
Thanks Lars for doing this one..!! I am just getting started and doing the the first lessons... Using a "track-rat"... Will practice the new moves.... Nice..!!
I watched your beginner series and knew I had missed something. I had worked most of this out on my own but this video was still very helpful. I absolutely love your videos, many of them are way over my head but that is alright, maybe one day I will be able to use them. Keep doing what you are doing! Great presentation and great information in a format even I can understand.
Nice one Larsy I know this is 6yrs old but... After using Fusion for a few years I thought to watch this for any tips I've forgotten about. And I had indeed totally forgot and not recently used some features in that bottom centre tool window, like zoom window and pan. So thank you for sharing this and being thorough. But, have you seen the new Viewports tool? Just saw that there also 😶😃
Lars, I just wanted to let you know I absolutely love your video series. I am just starting on wood CNC router world, and your videos are very easy to follow and instrumental in my learning.
I just got my first wood CNC (X Carve from Inventables). I am searching, do you have videos on taking the design to CAM to getting G Code? I'll be using Universal G Code Sender.
I enjoy your videos. I use sketchup for woodworking. I'm hoping to learn Fusion 360 but I had a hard time finding beginner videos like this so thank you!
Im glad I found this video series! Im a new beginner with cad and fusion360 seems to be the best! You are very helpful and I like your easy going approach!
I learned AutoCAD 15 years ago. The way pan zoom rotate works and origin and plans in fission is frustrating to say the least. Think I will build me a cad mouse. Thanks for the videos.
So helpful Lars, we all owe you a beer!
Just found this after doing the 3 tutorials. It was still very useful. I would never have tackled Fusion if it weren’t for these videos. I’ll bet there are literally thousands of people out there who are quietly using your videos to learn Fusion but never leave comments. Your vids are hands down the best out there. THANK YOU!
Hi Lars,
Thank you for posing this. I am 69 years old, and I am trying to learn fusion 360. Your series for absolute beginners is great to get you going. This however helped me a lot to move around in the model area. Keep up the great work and keep them coming.
At time of this writing, these educational video series are 1.5 yrs old or more, but they are still highly appreciated and worth every second of viewing.
I ended up here after I followed the Box+Lid demo and was very annoyed about my lack of skills navigating around in the Fusion environment.
Finally I'm beginning to feel at home in Fusion 3D :-)
Thanks Lars !
You are so very welcome welcome👍
You're forgiven if you keep your excellent videos coming!! These are far more demonstrative to me than the tutorials through the Autodesk site because I can watch the video while I'm on Fusion 360. Also, I appreciate your demeanor and clear, concise directions (which, take it from a high school teacher) is tricky in a "live" environment. You do great work!!!
That is awesome to hear MohawkMangopit .Thank you for watching the videos
Lars, one of the things that keeps me coming back to your channel is that you are such a nice person. Your videos are great. Thank you.
Thank you Christopher Garrett. Really appreciate it!!
No need to apologise. Your absolute beginner videos are the best I have seen. I am coming from sketchup. I learned a lot from you, thank you!
i dont know this Lars Christensen but he is a real master of fusion 360.. he knows every details and has a deep understanding of this application.. you have been helping people by sharing your knowledge.. you are good man... thanks .. i will keep reviewing all your videos..
Yes. Your work adds value to Fusion 360. I felt like I was working with rocks & sticks until I watched your beginners series today. Thank you! I already feel 100% more competent with Fusion 360 already. Now I need to practice.
I was watching the first video and got tripped up when you rotated the model! I spent an hour trying to do it! Thanks for doing a follow up video 👍
Just because I've been using Fusion 360 for quite a while, I would never skip your videos, I learn something new from every single one, and this one was no exception.
Are your streams valuable, you bet they are. I've learned so much from them.
Keep up the great work Lars.
Thank you Spike Kent
This should be the very first lesson. Thanks
Ok so I figured out 85% of this on my own so far, but this was worth the watch for the other 15%. Me: "How can you make a 20+ min. video about panning and zooming? - I better watch it". Happy I did, because I definitely learned some stuff. I owe you the beer, Sir.
Hope the offer of a beer is still valid after all these years! Thanks for simplifying movements among other lessons you've posted!
Lars, I am brand new to Fusion 360 and I cant tell you how much I appreciate your videos, you have made it very easy to get started in using Fusion 360 since I have no clue what I doing yet! I too am a RUclips Creator, just a hobby guy in his shop and will be using the software to 3D Model parts for my new Ender-3 3D printer series, should make for some good content on my channel. I will be giving you as well as Fusion 360 a huge shout out! Thanks again and keep them coming!
Ctrl+Pew sent me here

Lars, if you are ever in Vancouver my son and I will buy you supper and a beer!!! We are all blessed, for lack of a better word, to have people like you to illuminate our learning journey. Thanks for your videos bud, they are appreciated!!
So this is the actual Beginning Series video Part 1
, was very fustrated following along the other videos. Now I am so happy.
I just started your beginner series yesterday. I was really struggling when trying to rotate the model. Ran across this tutorial today - LIFESAVER! Also, imagine my surprise when you mention coming to Buffalo, NY. I'm from East Aurora. Small world. I ought to buy you a beer for the awesome videos.
I'm just learning Fusion 360 after playing with SketchUp for years. The learning curve is steep, but your videos have helped tremendously. This one was the most important for a beginner like me, so thank you for posting it.

Hi Mike Gillett Thank you for watching!
Great idea! Done
I hope you are making a ton of money, Lars, because you're bringing tremendous value to a lot of people.
Thank you Jeff Beaudoin :-)
Autodesk is very generous!! They pay me well
actually found you because another class on skillshare didnt explain this at all and my brain was imploding trying to make it rotate the way I wanted to. Subscribed, now I owe you a beer, thanks!
I got the 3D Connexion Space Connection (3D mouse) after you mentioned it and WOW!!! This makes moving the 3D model so much easier!!!

The Anchor Bar in the airport is a great place for a beer!
Best,
Lars
New user here, thank you for your videos! I couldn't figure out how to easily pan in 360 but holding down shift was the missing piece of the puzzle :)
Hi Eric Ostendorf Thank you for watching! And I am glad you figured it out
I have been watching your videos for a while now Lars and last night I purchased Fusion 360 and now have some confidence to start using it. Thank you for all your great work, it is much appreciated for all of us, beginners. :-)

That is awesome to hear Andrew Prewett .Thank you for watching the videos
If you are working with a trackpad on Mac:
- Zoom : two finger pinch open and close
- Pan: Two finger slide around
- Rotate: Shift + two finger slide
Great!!!! Thanks!
And also on a mac, when I hover on the "home" icon in the corner, I can't rotate without holding shift as Lars said in the video. Any idea why?

Ooooohhhhh Ooooooohhhhhhhhh THAT was SOOOOO HELPFUL! You personally rescued my last hair.
Glad to hear that
you are a great teacher even more than that you appear to be a great person as well..may God shine you
Just started to 3D print parts for my 1950s trains, using M3D and 123D. Saw Fusion 360 and took a look. I made a Cam and Firebox in 123D but could not make anything with 360.

That is awesome to hear Dennis Murphey .Thank you for watching the videos
Thanks, Lars that has cleared up a few thing for a newbie lol. And tell your Chiefs that these videos and live streams MUST continue. love your work
That is awesome to hear Popcorn Shiner .Thank you for watching the videos. I will pass your comment on.
Lars, your live streams are great! They are one of the futures of great and cost effective training programs.
Thank you ripper9111
Did your absolute beginner videos #1 & #2 , indeed, struggled to efficiently navigate... next day a quick Google result put this video at the top of the result... very happy to once again get an excellent lesson from Lars! Now, back to absolute beginner video #3!
Lars you are such a legend and apologizing to us for teaching us for free!? :) Your videos are excellent and I switched to F360 because of your tutorials!
Thanks to you for all the help! I often get "lost in the weeds". Your videos are much appreciated!
Thank you Richard Neel
Great after the beginners series.. thankfully my son did show me the basics first but this solidified my knowledge. Thanks again.
Thank you for watching
Gold! Just started your first beginner video and was lost at the 4mm offset from the bottom. Shift, Middle Mouse Button saves the day!
Just started to dive into Fusion and watched your beginners series, it's awesome! Especially as you skip the easy menu part and just teach the right way immediately. I wish my school did that back in the day. :) And yes navigation was a bit of getting used to, but if people complain about that, I wonder if they can ever grasp the full potential of Fusion anyway.

Thank You! The conduit box was hell without these!
Hi ITWUT Thank you for watching!

Thank you Isidro Nilsson Reallu appreciate that you watch the videos and take the time to comment!
Have an awesome day!
Thanks. That was most helpful. Got 10 mins into the absolute beginners video and went to search for this. So back to the beginners series. Thanks!! May the learning continue (I feel is a long road).
Glad you found it useful
I love the live view. I always watch the recordings and save all the links so I can review. Hope you will continue. Thanks, Philip
Thank you Phil Geerling I will! Just need to catch up on a few things
Thanks again for adding value to my Fusion 360 experience. Much appreciated.
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
I just jump from the first video to this one just because of this...jajaja ...Thank you for your help...👍👍👍
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
I came from the absolute beginner guide and whilst this would have been helpful, it wasn't a major issue for me. The changing of the zoom is the best tip of the lot.
P.S. Thank you for these videos, it is making a product I thought would be a nightmare really quite approachable.
That is awesome to hear The45thClown .Thank you for watching the videos
Excellent video! I had no idea the mouse could do so much. Got rid of my 2 button Apple Mouse and purchased a three button mouse to take advantage of all the features and I'm loving it. Lars, thank you for taking the time to do this video.
How could you cope with only 2 buttons until then? 😱
Sir this video really teach me a lot, i'm just starting to use fusion 360 and i allready watched your 3 videos for using fusion 360 for begginers, thanks a lot sir👍👍👍
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
You're great at simplifying your teaching for absolute new users! Thanks!!
Everybody will watch this after viewing part 1 and hair tearing. lol! Thank you. Makes so much sense now. Getting back on track....
So that's how you did it! Sneaky! Thanks for this very helpful video! Well done!
Thank you so much for showing how to do this, I learned CAD using Solidworks and this essentially helps me work on the basics
Glad you find it useful. Thank you for watching 👍😊
Lars, thank you for your video series! I am a Fusion 360 newbie--actually a CAD newbie. The last time I did anything like this was back in college and that was drafting (on vellum no less). When I lived in Maine I used to go through Buffalo on occasion. If I make it back that way I will net you know, but I will be buying you the beer!
Hi Gerard Hickey Thank you for watching!
Only if I get to buy you one after you buy me one :-)
Lars, definitely it was a very good tutorial 'cause my life was turning upside down!!!
Best regards.
Hi Lars, thank you for cleening up loose ends. I'm new to Fusion 360 and as it is, it's not so easy for a beginner. Up to now I was drawing things up with a very old Programm, also from Autodesk, called Autosketch 9.
I find your Videos excellend, understandable and very competent. I'm sure I watch all of them one by one, and some more then once. Sorry about my english, my language is German, and Fusion 360 is in german and this brings smetimes a bit of confusion. Never mind, I get along fine.
Comming from Switzerland and living in Italy (Tuscany), retired with a Workspace on the back of the house, including lathe, milling and so on. At the moment I'm constructing a little 8-station revolving toolchanger for my 7 x 14 lathe. And this brings me to a problem I could not solve. The internal shaft of this setup is to have 8 holes equally spaced on the circumference, longsides. I meen square to the centre about 8 mm deep. No idea how to do this.
My background: I used to work with DMG-Mori as a service technican, allmost 30 years. I know the whole story about CNC machining, right from the beginning.
I hope this was not to boring, but understandable and with a minimum of spelling errors.
Have a great Day, Luzius
Hi Luzius Clement Thank you for watching! ANd for taking the time to write!
Your English is very good. 2 Different suggestions/Methods...
1, You could approach it the same way you would machine it on your DMG-Mori. So model a big block of steel and start carve/ cut material away until your toolchanger appears.
2. Sketch up the toolchanger on a notepad with pencil and pen in a topdown view. Then, sketch all those same lines in a Fusion 360 sketch and start extruding the different parts from that.
Hope this is helpful.
Best,
Lars
Good morning Lars, thank you for the quick replay, and for the suggestions. I managed my problem, but in a different way. In a weeks time I let you know whats actually all about, regards and thanks, Luzius
could he create one hole then pattern that around the axis?
Another great beginner video, my home view now matches and Shift-Middle Button is a great help... Thanks.
Lars, thank you for this video. As a newbie, this was extremely helpful. I have to admit I was pausing the first 3 videos a lot. Appreciate immensely.
Please keep these live streams coming, most informative
Thank you Gregory Tutin
fantastic video im an absolute beginner and this is essential information for any beginner
Hello mate. Your channel is awesome. Don't ever stop doing these tutorials.
Thank you nobrief
very detailed yet simple explanation. I really appreciate your videos. thank you
Thank you Lars! I am new to Fusion and your videos have been very helpful. They are clear, easy to follow and well paced. I am based in Buffalo too so if I ever have the pleasure of meeting you the beers are totally on me.
Hi Ben Sangari Thank you for watching!
Only if I get to buy the second round :-)
Thanks Lars for your very helpful presentations.
Thank you! I learned couple of new tricks, but the more importantly, you happened to resolve my major problem. I was sooo frustrated after changing from MAC to Windows 10, where this pan and rotate felt impossible and awfully cumbersome, even when using a mouse. But at the end, it was just my own confusion about my wireless mouse and its interpretation of middle button. I had forgotten that it has extra small button which I had learned to function as a menu, but on Windows it seems to be the middle button. How nice. I expected the pressing the wheel (which is a bit cumbersome) to be the middle button, but I was mistaken. After this little confusion was resolved, everything now functions just as smoothly as I had learned using a MAC (with the exception that now I have to learn a new grip of my mouse to access the middle button, which is not as ergonomic as I would hope for...).
Your intro to this video really made me laugh. I did your intro tutorial videos and really enjoyed them and learned a lot but watching you pan and rotate was driving me nuts! :-) I did catch on that I could left-click on the view cube and rotate the model in that way but I couldn't work out how you were doing it. I did a bunch of google searches and I couldn't find one that give me that info. I was obviously not using the right words in the search. I think I was doing something like "Fusion360 how to rotate object" so all the videos were about how to pivot an object on a specific axis. Eventually I landed on this video which had the information I was looking for. Thank you!
I came to this from a bit of a tangent - I am a programmer and was simply trying to learn some 3D modelling to print something for an IoT demo we're doing. What I found is that I really enjoy this and will be learning more. So if I ever get to Buffalo, New York I will be claiming a beer. :-)
👍😊 You got it!!
Thanks Lars for doing this one..!! I am just getting started and doing the the first lessons... Using a "track-rat"... Will practice the new moves.... Nice..!!
I watched your beginner series and knew I had missed something. I had worked most of this out on my own but this video was still very helpful. I absolutely love your videos, many of them are way over my head but that is alright, maybe one day I will be able to use them. Keep doing what you are doing! Great presentation and great information in a format even I can understand.
You are forgiven! In case anyone was wondering how Lars has his Y top and green you set this in preferences > default modeling orientation > Y up.
so helpful mate, it was driving me up the wall before I watched this video.
I got to say, this video addresses most of my questions about orbit. Thanks
That is awesome to hear James Taylor .Thank you for watching the videos
Nice one Larsy
I know this is 6yrs old but...
After using Fusion for a few years I thought to watch this for any tips I've forgotten about.
And I had indeed totally forgot and not recently used some features in that bottom centre tool window, like zoom window and pan.
So thank you for sharing this and being thorough.
But, have you seen the new Viewports tool? Just saw that there also 😶😃
Lars, I just wanted to let you know I absolutely love your video series. I am just starting on wood CNC router world, and your videos are very easy to follow and instrumental in my learning.
That is awesome to hear Munawar Soomro .Thank you for watching the videos
I just got my first wood CNC (X Carve from Inventables). I am searching, do you have videos on taking the design to CAM to getting G Code? I'll be using Universal G Code Sender.
THANKYOU . 'Set Orbit Center' was something i needed for a long time
Bonjour and thank you a lot! You are the king of teacher specially for a foreigner ;0) Champagne!!!
I enjoy your videos. I use sketchup for woodworking. I'm hoping to learn Fusion 360 but I had a hard time finding beginner videos like this so thank you!
That is awesome to hear Vince Arcuri .Thank you for watching the videos
Thank you very much! It makes the absolute beginners tutorial much easier ;) You're the best!
I find these really helpful and I appreciate your clarifications immensely! Excellent!
Lars, this is SO helpful! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! If I ever have the pleasure of meeting you, the beers are on me! ;)
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
Only if I get to buy the second round :-)
Thanks for doing this. Really make sense now as to what you are doing to move the part around. Thank you.
Thank you for watching 👍😊
Very nice Videos, really clear english, good for me as a german.
Thanks!
Thank you Florian Steinbauer
6:07 I use fusion for 3 Year's and I did not know how to "soft pan" thanks for teaching me.
Im glad I found this video series! Im a new beginner with cad and fusion360 seems to be the best! You are very helpful and I like your easy going approach!
That is awesome to hear Richard Oehrig .Thank you for watching the videos
I learned AutoCAD 15 years ago. The way pan zoom rotate works and origin and plans in fission is frustrating to say the least. Think I will build me a cad mouse. Thanks for the videos.
