Tyler, you actually can switch between radius and diameter after you have dimensioned a sketch. Choose the select tool, select the dimension, right-click on it, and the context menu will say "toggle radius" or toggle diameter."
Relatively new to Fusion 360. I watch for your videos as soon as they come out. Always learn something. Sometimes from what you are showing, other times by accident seeing some shortcuts you are using. Thanks for your efforts in making the videos!
Thanks for the video. Always helpful to see the workflow of other experienced folks. One question I have is, is there a reason to avoid the symmetry constraint? I see several videos of people using mirror or a fx (formula)... [some distance]/2 to achieve what symmetry does. Thanks.
Good question! Mirroring creates the symmetry constraint and sometimes is the faster/lazier way to go. I love the symmetry constraint but sometimes dont' show it in attempt to not overwhelm newe users.
A question. It looks like the whole body is symmetrical. Is it possible to create just one side (left or right) and then to mirror it with middle line? Thanks
Totally! The first phase had a hole in the center which makes the mirror just a tad more difficult. It's really about your design intent, what do you plan to change and edit in the future? What needs to change?

If the design permits, this is actually best practice! 😀

You da Man!!!!
Thanks Lou :)
Please Slow down.... It is hard to follow when you run through steps so fast that I cannot make out what functions you are using.
Fusion 360 is no longer assessable to most people. Make your work more relevant by picking a more assessable type of software.
