Fusion Friday - How would you make that?

In this video, I answer a viewers question on how to create a "tapered" punch where the chamfer command wouldn't work. I show how to create the necessary faces and then angle them to the correct angle.

[@rufustoad1]

This is great stuff. Please keep it going

[@philipershler420]

Thanks, you showed some variety of single operations that are very useful.

[@bradtallis8968]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stephengittins6116]

Super video Brad. I've been using Fusion for about 18 months to do my designs and I realise that I still have a lot to learn. 🙂

[@StephenBoyd21]

The rotating the face trick was kind of neat. I’ve never tried doing anything like that.

[@Scottforyoutube]

I love the " How would you make that?" videos!

[@bradtallis8968]

Thanks for watching!

[@rinokentie8653]

thanks! Useful as always.

[@johncarey9149]

Excellent as always Brad, thanks

[@bradtallis8968]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@davidkennison8022]

Classic Brad! This kind of video is the reason why I love your teaching. Thanks for all the continued help with learning.

[@adambergendorff2702]

Excellent video, I really like the length of these shorter videos! The longer videos are more difficult to go back and find one specific tip you shared.

[@IceCreams62]

When a little line counts 🙂 Thanks for the tip, Brad. HANWE

[@rollandjones9556]

Cool trick, I like it, Thanks Brad.

[@jimnolan830]

Great

[@R4YTUBE]

You just got new subscriber ;-) Nicely explained

[@Fusion360modeling-fb4gt]

Not sure about the move tool. I would rather just make a cut there. But I suppose it was there to show an alternative technique.

[@bradtallis8968]

Absolutely. You totally could have created a sketch on the front, defined the 70 degree angle in the sketch, and used the cut command. Actually, that is probably the more "correct" way of doing it. I just wanted to show the move faces command in this video and this was a good example of where you could use it. Thanks for watching!

Hi Brad, I'm just starting to learn Fusion and I really like how you do your video. My question is, how do you rotate the model every time you wanna show a feature? The only way I know so far is by selecting the Rotate icon at the bottom of the screen and the pointer turns to a gyroscope. I didn't see yours do that, so there must be a quick better way to rotate without selecting that icon. Thanks

[@wolf9545]

You can hold the shift key on your keyboard and the middle mouse button (scroll wheel) down and then move your mouse around to rotate the object. I believe Brad uses a spacemouse to rotate objects around but that is not needed.

[@mrx-in4xh]

@@wolf9545 thank you

[@joelbrown4110]

Love your videos. I have a challenge for you. How would you model the front or back of the body of a single cutaway archtop guitar? Like a Benedetto or Gibson L5 for reference.

[@bradtallis8968]

I've never attempted to model a guitar in Fusion. However, I do know that there are a lot of RUclips videos on guitar making with Fusion. Hopefully one of them can help you.

[@joelbrown4110]

@@bradtallis8968 Yes, thanks. I think I have looked at most of them. It's the archtop that seams to be the hard part.

[@TheDudesRug]

why split the body instead of split face? You can just use split face and use draft with parting line and two side option instead of splitting the body and using the move tool

[@bradtallis8968]

I tried using Split Face originally, but it doesn't always work the way you want it to. If I just split the face, there wouldn't be a "boundary edge" on the front and back of the part where the face needed to rotate. By splitting the body, it creates those boundary edges.

[@TheDudesRug]

@@bradtallis8968 The parting line only has to be on the split face. You don't need it on the front and back of the part. I can showcase it and post it on the fusion forums (as I already tested it out), but the autodesk forum is malfunctioning as it keeps automatically refreshing and redirecting the page back to the index.

[@outdoortherapy6596]

Just learning Fusion thank you for the video. My Space bar and middle button (roller) on the mouse won't rotate image. Can you advise how to fix?

[@wolf9545]

I know the default in rotating an object is to hold the middle mouse button and the shift key. If you hold both down, you can move your mouse around to rotate the objects on the screen.

I did not see the last rad. of 1.0 called out on the print.
Fire your draftsman he's slackin!

[@bradtallis8968]

Ya. I had recorded most of my video before I realized I had left off the 1mm callout and I didn't want to re-record the whole thing. So, I guess I'll have to fire myself...

[@eddrm4685]

@@bradtallis8968 No don't do that...
That dimension may take another view to add..I think
