October 2023 Emboss Update (10:11 in the video). The new emboss tool works on more surfaces, but has also impacted how the Emboss tool worked when this tutorial was recorded. SOLUTION: 1. Activate Emboss 2. Uncheck 'Tangnet Chain' in the Emboss dialog. *** Very important. This must be done *** 3. Select the 4 sketch profiles (two halves of the circle, two rectangles) 4. Switch to the 'Faces' selector in the Emboss Dialog 5. Select the top face of the doorstop (the largest face). 6. Hold the CMD Key (Mac) or CTRL Key (Windows) to select the two remaining top faces. 7. Select OK to confirm the Emboss. If this helped you, kindly like this comment to help others see it!
If anybody on windows is having issues at the 10 minute mark with the embossing, select the the 4 areas then when you get to faces deselect the tangent chain then select faces and hold CRTL when selecting the top 3 faces and you’ll be able to select them individually giving you the result you need. This is what I did and it worked perfect.
Oh wow. I even did the tutorial a second time thinking I had done something wrong. I either got some weird bulb embossing at the top with the circle or the embossed area had some serious curvature going on. Really hope Kevin sees this and adds a note on a revised video because this was driving me nuts. Thank you!!
3:28 - If the directional arrow is pointing down when chamfering when you want it to go horizontal, click the "flip" button to change the direction of the chamfer. You can then enter 15mm at 25 degrees.
FILLETS PROBLEM (at 11:14) - if they doesn't apply properly and the edges are not rounded use not 1mm value but 0.9999mm. This solved the problem for me.
Hey! For anyone still having problems with the embossing of the lines, I figured out a workaround: Instead of doing a 2 point circle I just created a 3 point arc at the top of the rectangle, then after selecting it in the emboss tool it worked perfectly. I don't know why, but it was having trouble with the 2 halves of the circle that you needed to select.
This series has taken the amazement of 3d printing to another level. Before, I would look at posted projects online and decide they wouldn't work for my specific needs and was out of luck. Now I can make my own brackets or components to remix or create my own project entirely. Very excited to see where the rest of the series gets me.
I am here to let you know that just one of these videos will do more to enlighten the 3d modeler than Autodesk's entire getting-started course. Thank you, my friend. I will gratefully pick up any information you so generously put down.
As a new customer for Fusion 360, this one was more challenging. I made this model twice but the information solidified in my mind the second time around. Many practical applications for future projects. Great series!! You are an excellent teacher!
You know at 11:11 you start to add a fillet to all those edges. This is sort of tedious given it's 60 edges! I instead went back and edited original feature which saved me from clicking all of those lines to fillet them. In other words, I fillet THEN R Patterned mine to the same result. I bring this up not as a critique but more as a compliment to the series. I'm starting to learn faster ways to do things thanks to the videos you've made. You're a great teacher. Thank you.
Thank you, this helped me a lot I was having a hard time getting it to fillet correctly. I would add I had to change the Compute Type to Optimize before I clicked ok on the R-pattern otherwise I received an error. Thanks again for this tip!

I am so sorry Kevin I know see this is a new series 30 days and this is day 8. I was not following it correctly. Now I know to go back and listen to #1 and catch up. In this video you reinforce all the common sense rules and guidelines to good sketch development. Which I still fail to apply. Every one of my parts is a complete mess. Yesterday to complete a part for a customer I was sketching, deleting, pressing and extruding all over the part to get the geometry where i wanted it. its terrible. Took me days and when done I nothing I can reuse for the next one. I must learn these things and then apply the rigor to use them. I have so much work to complete in 2023 I have to get better. In these two minutes i realized what I was missing and what i need to do. I will be back. Thank You So Much for such a great course. Dennis aka Frankentrain Laboratories.

I’ve been binge watching this series for a couple hours now, and have gained a small fortune worth of knowledge & technique. So many highly efficient ways to do things vs. the buffoonery I’ve employed while farting around in fusion the past couple years. One day I’m gonna quit my job and start designing and manufacturing things. In my industry you’re what we call a “heavy set of hands”. Bravo sir, thank you for the fantastic content in consumable chunks!
Another great video from you, now I am doing some of my own designs thanks to your videos. They are not the most difficult designs, but they help me in the house. A holder for toilet paper, and a vacuum cleaner adapter, so I can clean in tight spaces (easy with the offset plane and loft functions).
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Love the series. Started learning Fusion Yesterday and got to this lesson. 10 hours later, my daughter sees the pinned comment, and I am finally able to emboss. New experience for me, but now I know.
This was tricky. I put the flange on backwards but was able to create some mirror lines on the bottom to flip the darn thing to the correct side. I feel empowered. The doorstop is very fun to create. Thank you again!
You're like an excellent teacher that now start further into the project, pushing us "in the back" to step up and don't just follow along. Now we need to know how to save and start a project. Well done! Thanks for doing this. I will probably have forgotten most of it by the time I need to use it, since I'm just doning this for fun, but i still enjoy it very much!
Hi again Kevin. Encountered an error message when filleting those last top ridges: "Fillet/chamfer encountered a non-manifold edge or vertex". What does this actually mean in words of one syllable and more importantly, how does one address the issue?
My arrow was pointing toward the bottom of the part at around 3:00 so I kept getting an error. Anyway to force the arrow to point in the other direction? Edit: Doh! flip direction icon....
Two things I'm wondering - 1) When we offset the surface to bridge the gap at 8:30 we create overlapping geometry. Could this create issues if, for example, we want to 3D print this without unifying the bodies? 2) I'd think it's more efficient to apply the fillets to the single ridge then use rectangular pattern instead of selecting all edges on all ridges after rectangular pattern. Is this not the case? Thanks and great tutorial series!
At 6:57, you delete a coincident constraint. It took me some time to figure out that you were selecting the constraint icon and deleting it with the delete. I could be wrong, but I don't think that was introduced in the series before now, and explaining that would have been helpful. My son's girlfriend's father recently gave us a non-functioning 3D printer which had several small issues. My son and I worked on it on and off for two days, and got it working. I needed to learn some modelling tool and wanted to learn Fusion 360, but it is daunting to look at. I came across this series and started it, and it is absolutely fantastic. Within the first three days or so, I think I knew 90% of what I needed to start on the designs that I had my head. Thank you.
Thanks for the pinned update. I missed that first and I was trying to figure out where I was making a mistake. I found out in the second run. Thanks again.
Kevin, you've mentioned a few times that it's usually best to use solid mirroring over sketch mirroring. Why is one generally preferred over the other?
Thank you for the great tutorial as always! I found it easier to add the final fillet before the rectangular pattern and select the fillet feature as well when doing the rectangular pattern so you don't have to repeatedly select edges.
This model is small enough that it likely won't cause problems unless one has really old/low-spec computer. However, I did not complete it that way as it is generally advised to never pattern Fillets in Fusion. It can cause major latency issues with assembly files. Just something to keep in mind should you ever work on larger assembly files :)
So glad you're doing these again! About to attempt a fix ( homing off center) on my printer and excited to watch this entire series!! Assuming there's paid content somewhere also? Really liked these a couple years ago.
I bought a 3d printer just yesterday and thought itd be best to graduate from Sketchup to something else. It seems like Fusion 360 might be the correct choice! In the first two videos you made some stuff that would've taken me hours. if not days to make. Can't wait to see the rest of the lessons!
@@ProductDesignOnline Went with the Ender 5 Pro, seemed to be in the sweet-spot regarding cost, design and upgrade paths with plenty of good reviews for the Creality brand.
This series is so good. You were born to teach mate. Thanks from Aus. Question. With the free/personal use version. Am I correct in the assumption that I can just toggle which documents in my list of 10 are editable at any one time? Is it possible to use the free version for a very small business/side hustle? I don't make enough money from my 3D prints currently to warrant paying for this subscription...
Yes you can toggle which documents are editable at any time. Open the folder containing the desired docs and under each you should see a drop down "Editable" with a blue icon. Click and switch any doc to "Read only". It takes a while minute or so for the files to cloud sync so they may (or may not) disappear, but they will reappear in the folder and you can toggle editability again. You can toggle and view these files in app or browser. As for commercial use, I believe if you intend to make money from products you design in fusion they want you to purchase a license. However, I have no idea if there is legal ramification for not doing so. Sorry.
Amazing video. I was hoping someone might be able to tell me why after embossing, my cicrcle at the top of the rectangle becomes teardrop shaped, instead of remaining circular? CHeers!
Thank you for your tutorial Kevin. I'm a beginner, I might find a problem when using the offset face command to remove the gap at 8:30. It seems not only the face we choose applied but also the whole chained part which might cause collision . I don't konw whether it is a problem.
It does save time, but you're not supposed to pattern Fillets. It's really heavy on the processing. Prob would be okay for a small file like this but generally causes major hangups with assembly files 🙂
@@matroosoft4589 Most all parametric CAD programs. Another reason its best practice to have fillets at the end of the timeline is so you can refined geometry early in the timeline without having to rework fillets.
Exactly my thought so I paused the video and did that before the rectangular pattern. It's basically what he did on the ice cube tray which is how I remembered!
I cannot find a way to get the chamfer arrow pointing towards the taller side of the doorstop. It only points down so I cannot put a 15mm chamfer there (only 10). Am I missing something?
Probably don't need this anymore but I'll leave it for anyone struggling like us. Hit the "flip" icon on the chamfer's editing box. When the sketch is made in the video he's has the y axis inverted so his build goes from 0 to -100. If your sketch is going from 0 to positive 100 the math for the chamfer gets messed up.
Best tutorials, thank you! Can you explain why there formed a gap between main body and the plate (fixed with Offset Face)? Are there certain scenarios to watch for?
That happened because of the taper/angle of the back of the doorstop (from the triangle we sketched at the beginning). It's something you'll just have to keep an eye our for anytime you don't have horiztonal/vertical geometry that is adjcent.
The main difference (which can be frustrating if you're just getting started with Fusion 360) is that the old UI has the Sketch tools under a 'Create' menu, instead of the Sketch tab being contextual. Otherwise, majority of features and concepts are the same. There are a few things that are no longer the best approach due to new feature releases - such as those that can now be done faster with the Emboss tool.
Kevin I am loving this series but you should change the name. its been six months since the first episode and its only on day 8. in no way is it 30 days haha. maybe I'm just impatient but I did all 8 in a matter of a couple hours. I NEED MORE!!

I am unable to do the fillet on the top ridges: Error: There was a problem combining geometry together. If attempting a Join/Cut/Intersect, try to ensure that the bodies have a clear overlap (problems can occur where faces and edges are nearly coincident).
On the first chamfer at 3:30 You got an error message which went away. I cannot chamfer 15mm on a 10mm front depth - unsurprisinglty. So the error does not go away and the rest of the tutorial is not consistent with what i have...
Thank you for great videos. However I have trouble at 10:10 when trying to apply to point circle the result after embossing is not a perfect round. it comes out like snake head. please advise.
Hi there. It appears the recent updates to the emboss tool are affecting this. To avoid the unexpected result, you'll need to uncheck "Tangent Chain" and manually select the three top faces.
@@ProductDesignOnline it will only allow me to select one face for some reason. In this case would I have to manually input 3 separate rectangles then pattern them on each face?
@@micahkitchens2480 I see what you are saying. same thing is happening to me. when I uncheck the "Tangent Chain" its not embossing the whole thing anymore.
@@micahkitchens2480 You may have to hold the Option (Mac) or Alt (Windows) key to select more than one face. Just checked on my end and that worked! :)
You can right-click on the Appearance at the top of the appearance dialog > Edit > then drag the color picker around. I know I glossed over that... planning on discussing that in detail in a later episode of the course :)
My embossing is constantly coming out bent and wavy? I've tried to restart the entire embossing process and draw the two-point rectangle again, but the same issue occurs...
Hi Kevin! thank you for the amazing tutorials!!! you got me more and more interested in fusion360 and motivated me get better! Day 9 i start having questions that i don't find solution in comments. when i tried to add fillet (11:18 in the video), 60 edges with 1mm. It gives a error warning There was a problem combining geometry together. If attempting a Join/Cut/Intersect, try to ensure that the bodies have a clear overlap (problems can occur where faces and edges are nearly coincident)." please answer 😘thank you!
Faceted will result in a solid body, but it will have all of the mesh triangles (facets). This means you won't have perfectly planar or smooth surfaces to modify. Prismatic is only available on the other license types and it will attempt to rebuild the model with Fusion's native technology, resulting in a 'clean' solid body. This is often desired as it makes it really quick and easy to make modifications.
Kevin, Thanks for the videos. Tremendously helpful. Noted the comment below for windows, however I'm on a Mac running Ventura 13.4. and stuck on the emboss. When I attempt to select any of the top faces, the entire body becomes active. Have retraced my steps several times. Not sure what I missed. Thanks.
Anyone know what the release schedule is for this course? I was cruising through it not realizing it's an in progress class so I was bummed when I ran out of videos. Went on his website and saw the class lists a release schedule document but for some reason I don't see anywhere to actually view the schedule. Thanks for creating this series, it's quality stuff!
Generally, releasing lessons every Friday. It takes me several days to prep, script, record, and edit each lesson. Day 9 will be available this Friday.
i was not able to use the tangent arc command. it threw the arc WAY big and would nto let me select the second point. i used a 3 point arc and then added the tangent command to it to get what you have.
I'm having trouble with this one. At "5:40" when placing the horizontal line, a perpendicular constraint was automatically placed with the vertical line. I figured out how to turn that off, so now I can place the coincident constraint with the angled line. When I do that though, the angled line remains blue, and doesn't fully define the sketch. Any ideas what I am missing?
NVM, I just realized I have to define the dimension of the horizontal line to 10mm, instead of just dragging it out manually to 10mm. I'm guessing I don't yet see how that is important, but to me it seems like a redundant step.
I had the same problem. I had to delete the perpendicular constraint prior to adding the horizontal constraint to the 10mm line. Took me like 45min to find the solution. I had to step away for a few minutes because I was about to put my fist through the screen.
Thank you!! I did the same thing and couldn't figure it out, started completely over thinking I missed something important, and it did it again hahah thank you for sharing.@@JeffreyPorter-ru4is
What do i have to change if i want to have that black lines on extrude model? When i extrude something i dont have them and its harder do work on the model
for me EMBOSS does not follow the contour and gives an error......i had to stop the emboss sketch at 85mm, then do an extrude to follow the last part up to the fillet...........
I had the same issue. The past 30 minutes I've been going through the entire model making sure I had everything just like Kevin and couldn't figure out what the issue was. I changed the radius, shortened the length of the emboss to 88mm, and kept getting the same issue. It was only after reading all these comments that I tried Widener's 87mm and it worked fine. The chamfer now has more empty space than emboss, there was plenty of room for the 90, but whatever. I'm glad it worked now, but I still want to know why the 90mm wasn't working when everything else was spot on....hmmm...Great series though! Thanks a lot Kev!
I had the same issue. the sketch did not extend past the edge, I followed the steps and rechecked multiple times. However when I tried to select the face to emboss I noticed it did not highlight the chamfered edge. I had to deselect 'tangent chain' and do 3 separate emboss actions for each face. It worked in the end. Just a pain in the butt.
Caught up with the series, it's extremely good, but is the series from 4 years ago "good enough" to learn the tools? Or are there a ton of differences to the point it isn't useful, I wanted to blast through the entire 30 days series
All of the core worfklows and best practices are generally the same. However, some of the UI differences can make it frustrating, as well as there is occasionally a new feature (such as Emboss) that makes things more streamlined.
[When finish sketch is clicked, the extrude does not automaticly re-appear with the new settings, it remains a bleu field without the extrude. What am I doing wrong? I can't discover what I am doing wrong in this process. And with the embossing, how to enter the text command prompt? After the embosstool has been activated, the selection of the topface isn't possible, it selects the whole sketch sides and all...frustrating non the least!] ---> [UPDATE: uncheck Tangnet Chain and there you have it. THANKS!]
There’s so many arbitrary things that are done and yet I don’t understand. Why do we have to project instead of make just a sketch at the bottom? Why do we have to have to see you delete the little “T” symbol in the corner of the line and the bottom of the stopper without explanation before you make a horizontal constraint. How come when I follow along and use coincident tool to connect the hypotenuse line to the perpendicular line on the sketch points does it make both lines black for you but for me it’s one block and one blue. Despite following along exactly do these sort of things just not work
That's okay for this small file, but I would generally advise against that. That has been a known issue to cause latency with assemblies. The Fusion team recommends never patterning or mirroring fillets.
Hi , at the minute 11:46 when I try to sketch the tangent arc , it starts being tangent to the horizontal 10mm line instead of the kind of vertical long line. how do I select to whcih line be tangent? thanks for the good video
I'm having this error also. Error: The operation failed. Try adjusting the values or changing the input geometry. Done everything as instructed a couple of times from the begining and still error.
Not sure what's happening here - at around 10 minutes the emboss is failing with the message "Try adjusting the values or changing the input geometry." When selecting the face for the emboss, it's missing the chamfer section, and this section is unable to be selected. Any chance someone knows how to fix this?
Can anyone help with why my emboss line does not follow the chamfer? Chamfer is at 3:40 and Emboss is 10:00 can make the emboss attach to the chamfer. thank you
If anyone is having their fillets turn out weird at 11:20, my issue was that the ORDER in which you select the lines matters. Click them in the same order as shown in the video.
It kept flipping the small side underneath the bottom when I tried to add the height constraint on the big side. I ended up adding another line constrained perpendicular to the small side before adding a constraint to the big side and this stopped it. Not sure why, I won't speculate.
Completed the sketch for the doorstop, but issues: 1. When finishing the figure - clicking the origin point after drawing the horizontal line left to right - the constraing symbol for the lower right hand corner is not added - but it is for the lower left hand corner. 2. Added height, scale for the left hand side and angle. All lines now black - but still have pencil for the sketch - suggesting not fully constrained Finally figured out that the first, vertical line was not constrained. How did you do that line - and then 'releasing' the top point to set the upper left corner of the figure. Also see your vertical line is blue and contains dashes - why ?
I follow exactly every step with all the same dimensions. But I can NOT create the tangent arc at 6:30. When trying to do so I can not snap it to the other side and I am not getting an arc shape but circular shape when trying to connect to the other side. I have retried over 10 times starting this tutorial over and over trying to figure out what step I have missed.... desperate at this point as I can not figure it out why it is nog working....
I've tried this one 3-4 times now, completely starting from scratch every time. No matter what I do, the emboss line either refuses to generate or it isn't straight, it winds its way down the face, deviating from side to side by a couple millimeters. I'm guessing it has something to do with the Chamfer/fillet along the toe of the object, but even remodelling that entire part of the object in the sketch I can't get a straight emboss line.
Please see the pinned comment if you haven't already. A recent emboss update changed how it works when multiple faces are selected. I've outlined the steps to fix it.
Why can't you filet it before you pattern it? (It gives error R-PATTERN1 COMPUTE FAILED. No Fillet Edge Found) And how did you get the color wheel to pop up?
I'm loving your videos. All very thorough. I was wondering if you might be able to shine some light on an issue I'm having. In your video at 10.28 where we are using the embossing tool. For whatever reason the part of the circle, inwards of the 90x2mm square, does not want to emboss, oddly the rest does. And speculate this is what is prefenting the next chamfer. Sketch3 is fully restraint. Would love to hear what I'm doing wrong Many thanks in advance Brend
Hi Brend. Thanks for your kind words! There has been an update to the Emboss command, which I've noted in the pinned comment. I'll share that here as well for your convenience. October 2023 Emboss Update (10:11 in the video). The new emboss tool works on more surfaces, but has also impacted how the Emboss tool worked when this tutorial was recorded. SOLUTION: 1. Activate Emboss 2. Uncheck 'Tangnet Chain' in the Emboss dialog. * Very important. This must be done * 3. Select the 4 sketch profiles (two halves of the circle, two rectangles) 4. Switch to the 'Faces' selector in the Emboss Dialog 5. Select the top face of the doorstop (the largest face). 6. Hold the CMD Key (Mac) or CTRL Key (Windows) to select the two remaining top faces. 7. Select OK to confirm the Emboss.
I had the same exact issue, and the pinned comment did not solve it for me. I had to delete the circle and then use an arc in order to get the emboss to work. However, I was unable to perform the fillet in the next step. There's something going on with that interaction between the rectangle & circle/arc.
Quick question, when you used the offset face tool to close up the gap between the skirt body, and the main body, how did you know to bring it in .5mm? does it snap to position? Thanks for all your videos they are very well done and easy to follow. I dove face first into this software and these videos are helping me make sense of all the features that I have been over looking and doing things the hard way.
This is the result of the Emboss feature now working on multi curved faces. Then doing the emboss turn off "Tangent Chain" and only select the 3 top faces the emboss placed on, and you should have no warping/bug.
Mine worked out okay but at the end when I played with Appearance, it treated the bottom flange like a separate piece. I must've missed something in making that part of the whole thing. One question: how do I get the model lines to show up (the black lines along edges and curves)? Mine is all one solid color so for example when I emboss, if viewed from some angles the ridges are totally invisible. Thought I'd missed adding them a couple of tries at it!
To make your flange and the rest the same 3D body, you can edit that Extrude (used for the flange creation) and make sure the 'Operation' is set to Join. It may have defaulted to 'New Body' for some reason. For the 'black lines' it's a visual style setting. Head to the bottom of your Fusion, select the Display Settings (computer icon) > Visual Style > select "Shaded with Visible Edges Only" (that should be the default setting if you ever restore your defaults).
@@ProductDesignOnline Yep, Join wasn't selected, New Body was however I just changed that and then I get an error on the Offset Faces operation to fix the little gap at the back. Not sure how to remedy the error but can't save it without that.
I feel like sometimes you go a little too quick, I know you can pause but you're just like "make this radius 35" and it's like WHOA, how do you do that? Tell me exactly what you need to click

FILLETS PROBLEM (at 11:14) - if they doesn't apply properly and the edges are not rounded use not 1mm value but 0.9999mm. This solved the problem for me.
right on the money, thank you for this
Hey! For anyone still having problems with the embossing of the lines, I figured out a workaround: Instead of doing a 2 point circle I just created a 3 point arc at the top of the rectangle, then after selecting it in the emboss tool it worked perfectly. I don't know why, but it was having trouble with the 2 halves of the circle that you needed to select.

I am so sorry Kevin I know see this is a new series 30 days and this is day 8. I was not following it correctly. Now I know to go back and listen to #1 and catch up. In this video you reinforce all the common sense rules and guidelines to good sketch development. Which I still fail to apply. Every one of my parts is a complete mess. Yesterday to complete a part for a customer I was sketching, deleting, pressing and extruding all over the part to get the geometry where i wanted it. its terrible. Took me days and when done I nothing I can reuse for the next one. I must learn these things and then apply the rigor to use them. I have so much work to complete in 2023 I have to get better. In these two minutes i realized what I was missing and what i need to do. I will be back. Thank You So Much for such a great course. Dennis aka Frankentrain Laboratories.
Glad things are start to 'click' for you Dennis. You can find the lessons in order here: ruclips.net/p/PLrZ2zKOtC_-C4rWfapgngoe9o2-ng8ZBr
speaking of i forgot how to bring up the sketch shortcut search box thing a 1011?
IMPORTANT: Due to the new Emboss feature update, you will need to uncheck the 'tangent chain' option in the Emboss tool before selecting the sketch to emboss.

@@okcrc I have a more detailed update pinned 🙂
Thanks! This was throwing me off.
I’ve been binge watching this series for a couple hours now, and have gained a small fortune worth of knowledge & technique. So many highly efficient ways to do things vs. the buffoonery I’ve employed while farting around in fusion the past couple years. One day I’m gonna quit my job and start designing and manufacturing things. In my industry you’re what we call a “heavy set of hands”. Bravo sir, thank you for the fantastic content in consumable chunks!
Thank you! Happy learning - keep going. You got this! 😃💪
Another great video from you, now I am doing some of my own designs thanks to your videos. They are not the most difficult designs, but they help me in the house. A holder for toilet paper, and a vacuum cleaner adapter, so I can clean in tight spaces (easy with the offset plane and loft functions).
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Love the series. Started learning Fusion Yesterday and got to this lesson. 10 hours later, my daughter sees the pinned comment, and I am finally able to emboss. New experience for me, but now I know.
This was tricky. I put the flange on backwards but was able to create some mirror lines on the bottom to flip the darn thing to the correct side. I feel empowered. The doorstop is very fun to create. Thank you again!
This series is brilliant, thank you for updating it! Both the new interface as well as your teaching and production skills have improved. 👍🏼
Thanks for your support! Yes - its fun for me to watch the old ones and realize all the new production skills I've learned :D
You're like an excellent teacher that now start further into the project, pushing us "in the back" to step up and don't just follow along. Now we need to know how to save and start a project. Well done! Thanks for doing this. I will probably have forgotten most of it by the time I need to use it, since I'm just doning this for fun, but i still enjoy it very much!
Thanks for the kind words! Happy learning :)
Hi again Kevin. Encountered an error message when filleting those last top ridges: "Fillet/chamfer encountered a non-manifold edge or vertex". What does this actually mean in words of one syllable and more importantly, how does one address the issue?
8 days in and I can definitely feel myself getting more confident with the ui and tools! Thanks for the amazing course!!!! 😁
My arrow was pointing toward the bottom of the part at around 3:00 so I kept getting an error. Anyway to force the arrow to point in the other direction? Edit: Doh! flip direction icon....
Thanks for pointing this out. I was stuck!
@@aguynamedryan Me three!
this should be the pinned comment
I was stuck at the same spot. Thank you!
Thank you!!
Two things I'm wondering -
1) When we offset the surface to bridge the gap at 8:30 we create overlapping geometry. Could this create issues if, for example, we want to 3D print this without unifying the bodies?
2) I'd think it's more efficient to apply the fillets to the single ridge then use rectangular pattern instead of selecting all edges on all ridges after rectangular pattern. Is this not the case?
Thanks and great tutorial series!
Just started this series but it has been invaluable so far! Keep up the great work
Thanks! :)
I always come back here to sharpen my skills, thanks!
Speed running these videos to level up my Fusion 360 game. Thank you!
At 6:57, you delete a coincident constraint. It took me some time to figure out that you were selecting the constraint icon and deleting it with the delete. I could be wrong, but I don't think that was introduced in the series before now, and explaining that would have been helpful.
My son's girlfriend's father recently gave us a non-functioning 3D printer which had several small issues. My son and I worked on it on and off for two days, and got it working. I needed to learn some modelling tool and wanted to learn Fusion 360, but it is daunting to look at. I came across this series and started it, and it is absolutely fantastic. Within the first three days or so, I think I knew 90% of what I needed to start on the designs that I had my head. Thank you.
Thanks! This has been amazing and thanks for the update in the pinned comment. I was struggling with that!
Thanks for your support, James! Happy learning 😁
Thanks for the pinned update. I missed that first and I was trying to figure out where I was making a mistake. I found out in the second run. Thanks again.
Kevin, you've mentioned a few times that it's usually best to use solid mirroring over sketch mirroring. Why is one generally preferred over the other?
Thank you for the great tutorial as always! I found it easier to add the final fillet before the rectangular pattern and select the fillet feature as well when doing the rectangular pattern so you don't have to repeatedly select edges.
This model is small enough that it likely won't cause problems unless one has really old/low-spec computer.
However, I did not complete it that way as it is generally advised to never pattern Fillets in Fusion. It can cause major latency issues with assembly files. Just something to keep in mind should you ever work on larger assembly files :)
So glad you're doing these again! About to attempt a fix ( homing off center) on my printer and excited to watch this entire series!! Assuming there's paid content somewhere also? Really liked these a couple years ago.
Thanks for your support! Yes, I do have additional paid courses on my Academy website - academy.productdesignonline.com/
I bought a 3d printer just yesterday and thought itd be best to graduate from Sketchup to something else. It seems like Fusion 360 might be the correct choice!
In the first two videos you made some stuff that would've taken me hours. if not days to make. Can't wait to see the rest of the lessons!
Congrats on the printer! Which one did you get? :)
@@ProductDesignOnline Went with the Ender 5 Pro, seemed to be in the sweet-spot regarding cost, design and upgrade paths with plenty of good reviews for the Creality brand.

Thanks for your support :)
How are you making chamfer of 15 mm on the edge of the 10mm size @03:32? I get a could not be created at requested size error.
This series is so good. You were born to teach mate. Thanks from Aus.
Question. With the free/personal use version. Am I correct in the assumption that I can just toggle which documents in my list of 10 are editable at any one time? Is it possible to use the free version for a very small business/side hustle? I don't make enough money from my 3D prints currently to warrant paying for this subscription...
Yes you can toggle which documents are editable at any time. Open the folder containing the desired docs and under each you should see a drop down "Editable" with a blue icon. Click and switch any doc to "Read only".
It takes a while minute or so for the files to cloud sync so they may (or may not) disappear, but they will reappear in the folder and you can toggle editability again. You can toggle and view these files in app or browser.
As for commercial use, I believe if you intend to make money from products you design in fusion they want you to purchase a license. However, I have no idea if there is legal ramification for not doing so. Sorry.
Amazing video. I was hoping someone might be able to tell me why after embossing, my cicrcle at the top of the rectangle becomes teardrop shaped, instead of remaining circular?
CHeers!
Woohoo! Day 8 is live! 🎉
These videos are the best, thanks again!
I'm learning this for work related purposes, and you make it easy. Thank you for doing this.
Thank you for your tutorial Kevin. I'm a beginner, I might find a problem when using the offset face command to remove the gap at 8:30. It seems not only the face we choose applied but also the whole chained part which might cause collision . I don't konw whether it is a problem.
Same here. The whole part extends, not just that face.
I'd first fillet the ridge, then pattern it. Saves time selecting edges.
It does save time, but you're not supposed to pattern Fillets. It's really heavy on the processing. Prob would be okay for a small file like this but generally causes major hangups with assembly files 🙂
@@ProductDesignOnline First time I hear this. Does this apply to CAD in general or only to Fusion?
@@matroosoft4589 Most all parametric CAD programs. Another reason its best practice to have fillets at the end of the timeline is so you can refined geometry early in the timeline without having to rework fillets.
Thank you so much, I love this series.
4:39 nice explanation
Hi!
Wouldn't it be easier to 1st fillet rubber ridges and than do rectangular pattern on emboss and fillet? So we don't have to select 60 edges?
Exactly my thought so I paused the video and did that before the rectangular pattern. It's basically what he did on the ice cube tray which is how I remembered!
I wish this worked for me. As soon as I click "OK", the software crashes on my M1 Mac.
I cannot find a way to get the chamfer arrow pointing towards the taller side of the doorstop. It only points down so I cannot put a 15mm chamfer there (only 10). Am I missing something?
Same here
@@ne0komodo same
Probably don't need this anymore but I'll leave it for anyone struggling like us. Hit the "flip" icon on the chamfer's editing box. When the sketch is made in the video he's has the y axis inverted so his build goes from 0 to -100. If your sketch is going from 0 to positive 100 the math for the chamfer gets messed up.
@@volk1277 Yes, that works!!
@@volk1277 👌
Many thanks for your efforts
Thanks for the tutorials! I really learnt a lot from you❤️🔥
This series is amazing. I wish you could make videos as fast as I can follow them.
Best tutorials, thank you! Can you explain why there formed a gap between main body and the plate (fixed with Offset Face)? Are there certain scenarios to watch for?
That happened because of the taper/angle of the back of the doorstop (from the triangle we sketched at the beginning). It's something you'll just have to keep an eye our for anytime you don't have horiztonal/vertical geometry that is adjcent.
Thanks for making these, they're very helpful.
How well does your older tutorial series hold up against the new UI?
The main difference (which can be frustrating if you're just getting started with Fusion 360) is that the old UI has the Sketch tools under a 'Create' menu, instead of the Sketch tab being contextual. Otherwise, majority of features and concepts are the same. There are a few things that are no longer the best approach due to new feature releases - such as those that can now be done faster with the Emboss tool.
Thanks for another great video!
Thanks!!! You're awesome!

I am unable to do the fillet on the top ridges: Error: There was a problem combining geometry together.
If attempting a Join/Cut/Intersect, try to ensure that the bodies have a clear overlap (problems can occur where faces and edges are nearly coincident).
Thanks
Thanks for your support, David!
On the first chamfer at 3:30 You got an error message which went away. I cannot chamfer 15mm on a 10mm front depth - unsurprisinglty. So the error does not go away and the rest of the tutorial is not consistent with what i have...
Thank you for great videos. However I have trouble at 10:10 when trying to apply to point circle the result after embossing is not a perfect round. it comes out like snake head. please advise.
Hi there. It appears the recent updates to the emboss tool are affecting this. To avoid the unexpected result, you'll need to uncheck "Tangent Chain" and manually select the three top faces.
@@ProductDesignOnline it will only allow me to select one face for some reason. In this case would I have to manually input 3 separate rectangles then pattern them on each face?
@@micahkitchens2480 I see what you are saying. same thing is happening to me. when I uncheck the "Tangent Chain" its not embossing the whole thing anymore.
@@ProductDesignOnline thanks for replying. when I uncheck the "Tangent Chain" its not embossing the whole thing anymore.
@@micahkitchens2480 You may have to hold the Option (Mac) or Alt (Windows) key to select more than one face. Just checked on my end and that worked! :)

My embossing is constantly coming out bent and wavy? I've tried to restart the entire embossing process and draw the two-point rectangle again, but the same issue occurs...
I had the same issue, by shortening the rib to 89mm it straightened out.
@robgoodwin9202 I think I ended up doing something similar as well, but if I'll honest, I saw it in either another forum or another comment. 😅
anyone having problems when using the fillet tool in the end step: use 0.99 instead of 1mm
Hi Kevin! thank you for the amazing tutorials!!! you got me more and more interested in fusion360 and motivated me get better! Day 9 i start having questions that i don't find solution in comments. when i tried to add fillet (11:18 in the video), 60 edges with 1mm. It gives a error warning There was a problem combining geometry together.
If attempting a Join/Cut/Intersect, try to ensure that the bodies have a clear overlap (problems can occur where faces and edges are nearly coincident)." please answer 😘thank you!
Faceted will result in a solid body, but it will have all of the mesh triangles (facets). This means you won't have perfectly planar or smooth surfaces to modify. Prismatic is only available on the other license types and it will attempt to rebuild the model with Fusion's native technology, resulting in a 'clean' solid body. This is often desired as it makes it really quick and easy to make modifications.
Kevin, Thanks for the videos. Tremendously helpful. Noted the comment below for windows, however I'm on a Mac running Ventura 13.4. and stuck on the emboss. When I attempt to select any of the top faces, the entire body becomes active. Have retraced my steps several times. Not sure what I missed. Thanks.
I'm on ventura aswell, exact same problem, I'm going insane trying to work it out. Did you find a solution?
Anyone know what the release schedule is for this course? I was cruising through it not realizing it's an in progress class so I was bummed when I ran out of videos. Went on his website and saw the class lists a release schedule document but for some reason I don't see anywhere to actually view the schedule. Thanks for creating this series, it's quality stuff!

i was not able to use the tangent arc command. it threw the arc WAY big and would nto let me select the second point. i used a 3 point arc and then added the tangent command to it to get what you have.
at 7:01 when you delete the coincident constraint im not able to move my point freely
I'm having trouble with this one. At "5:40" when placing the horizontal line, a perpendicular constraint was automatically placed with the vertical line. I figured out how to turn that off, so now I can place the coincident constraint with the angled line. When I do that though, the angled line remains blue, and doesn't fully define the sketch. Any ideas what I am missing?
NVM, I just realized I have to define the dimension of the horizontal line to 10mm, instead of just dragging it out manually to 10mm. I'm guessing I don't yet see how that is important, but to me it seems like a redundant step.
I had the same problem. I had to delete the perpendicular constraint prior to adding the horizontal constraint to the 10mm line. Took me like 45min to find the solution. I had to step away for a few minutes because I was about to put my fist through the screen.

I had to step away just now lol and I came back and found this holy grail of a comment @@ummmm.....5270
What do i have to change if i want to have that black lines on extrude model? When i extrude something i dont have them and its harder do work on the model
for me EMBOSS does not follow the contour and gives an error......i had to stop the emboss sketch at 85mm, then do an extrude to follow the last part up to the fillet...........
Hi Jay, can you confirm the sketch does not stick out past the shape of your door stop before trying emboss?
Same for me. Everything over 87mm caused an error even though the sketch did not extend out past the shape of the doorstop.
I had the same issue. The past 30 minutes I've been going through the entire model making sure I had everything just like Kevin and couldn't figure out what the issue was. I changed the radius, shortened the length of the emboss to 88mm, and kept getting the same issue. It was only after reading all these comments that I tried Widener's 87mm and it worked fine. The chamfer now has more empty space than emboss, there was plenty of room for the 90, but whatever. I'm glad it worked now, but I still want to know why the 90mm wasn't working when everything else was spot on....hmmm...Great series though! Thanks a lot Kev!
I had the same issue. the sketch did not extend past the edge, I followed the steps and rechecked multiple times. However when I tried to select the face to emboss I noticed it did not highlight the chamfered edge. I had to deselect 'tangent chain' and do 3 separate emboss actions for each face. It worked in the end. Just a pain in the butt.
@@ELKvlt Could you share the link to your Fusion 360 (.f3d) file so I can investigate?
Caught up with the series, it's extremely good, but is the series from 4 years ago "good enough" to learn the tools? Or are there a ton of differences to the point it isn't useful, I wanted to blast through the entire 30 days series
All of the core worfklows and best practices are generally the same. However, some of the UI differences can make it frustrating, as well as there is occasionally a new feature (such as Emboss) that makes things more streamlined.
[When finish sketch is clicked, the extrude does not automaticly re-appear with the new settings, it remains a bleu field without the extrude. What am I doing wrong? I can't discover what I am doing wrong in this process. And with the embossing, how to enter the text command prompt? After the embosstool has been activated, the selection of the topface isn't possible, it selects the whole sketch sides and all...frustrating non the least!] ---> [UPDATE: uncheck Tangnet Chain and there you have it. THANKS!]
If you delete the lower half of the circle it works just fine also !
There’s so many arbitrary things that are done and yet I don’t understand.
Why do we have to project instead of make just a sketch at the bottom?
Why do we have to have to see you delete the little “T” symbol in the corner of the line and the bottom of the stopper without explanation before you make a horizontal constraint.
How come when I follow along and use coincident tool to connect the hypotenuse line to the perpendicular line on the sketch points does it make both lines black for you but for me it’s one block and one blue. Despite following along exactly do these sort of things just not work
I made fillet before Rectangular Pattern so it can copy emboss and fillet and it's faster.
That's okay for this small file, but I would generally advise against that. That has been a known issue to cause latency with assemblies. The Fusion team recommends never patterning or mirroring fillets.
Nice to know. Thanks for the tip.
Hi , at the minute 11:46 when I try to sketch the tangent arc , it starts being tangent to the horizontal 10mm line instead of the kind of vertical long line. how do I select to whcih line be tangent? thanks for the good video
I’m unable to emboss the line to the front. It errors out in the program.
I'm having this error also.
Error: The operation failed. Try adjusting the values or changing the input geometry.
Done everything as instructed a couple of times from the begining and still error.
Not sure what's happening here - at around 10 minutes the emboss is failing with the message "Try adjusting the values or changing the input geometry." When selecting the face for the emboss, it's missing the chamfer section, and this section is unable to be selected. Any chance someone knows how to fix this?
i have the same issue... Did you find the way to fix this ?
Can anyone help with why my emboss line does not follow the chamfer? Chamfer is at 3:40 and Emboss is 10:00 can make the emboss attach to the chamfer. thank you
Amazing series, dude!
If anyone is having their fillets turn out weird at 11:20, my issue was that the ORDER in which you select the lines matters. Click them in the same order as shown in the video.
New subcriber here so. Wanting to get a machine mainly to do lego nameplates any recommendations
I list several recommendations per budget/level here: productdesignonline.com/fusion-360-users-what-to-buy/
Hi, I have a problem with a filet (last step), It says error, although I have everthing same exactly like the video. Thanks for help
It kept flipping the small side underneath the bottom when I tried to add the height constraint on the big side. I ended up adding another line constrained perpendicular to the small side before adding a constraint to the big side and this stopped it. Not sure why, I won't speculate.
Excellent as usual Kevin!.
Thanks, Tony!
Completed the sketch for the doorstop, but issues:
1. When finishing the figure - clicking the origin point after drawing the horizontal line left to right - the constraing symbol for the lower right hand corner is not added - but it is for the lower left hand corner.
2. Added height, scale for the left hand side and angle. All lines now black - but still have pencil for the sketch - suggesting not fully constrained
Finally figured out that the first, vertical line was not constrained. How did you do that line - and then 'releasing' the top point to set the upper left corner of the figure. Also see your vertical line is blue and contains dashes - why ?
I follow exactly every step with all the same dimensions. But I can NOT create the tangent arc at 6:30. When trying to do so I can not snap it to the other side and I am not getting an arc shape but circular shape when trying to connect to the other side. I have retried over 10 times starting this tutorial over and over trying to figure out what step I have missed.... desperate at this point as I can not figure it out why it is nog working....
For some reason my emboss would not follow the curve of this door stop. Ideas?
Can you double-check that your sketch (to be embossed) does not extend past the edge of the rectangle/door stop edge?
I've tried this one 3-4 times now, completely starting from scratch every time. No matter what I do, the emboss line either refuses to generate or it isn't straight, it winds its way down the face, deviating from side to side by a couple millimeters. I'm guessing it has something to do with the Chamfer/fillet along the toe of the object, but even remodelling that entire part of the object in the sketch I can't get a straight emboss line.
Please see the pinned comment if you haven't already. A recent emboss update changed how it works when multiple faces are selected. I've outlined the steps to fix it.
Why can't you filet it before you pattern it? (It gives error R-PATTERN1 COMPUTE FAILED. No Fillet Edge Found)
And how did you get the color wheel to pop up?
I'm loving your videos. All very thorough.
I was wondering if you might be able to shine some light on an issue I'm having. In your video at 10.28 where we are using the embossing tool. For whatever reason the part of the circle, inwards of the 90x2mm square, does not want to emboss, oddly the rest does. And speculate this is what is prefenting the next chamfer. Sketch3 is fully restraint. Would love to hear what I'm doing wrong
Many thanks in advance
Brend
Hi Brend. Thanks for your kind words!
There has been an update to the Emboss command, which I've noted in the pinned comment. I'll share that here as well for your convenience.
October 2023 Emboss Update (10:11 in the video). The new emboss tool works on more surfaces, but has also impacted how the Emboss tool worked when this tutorial was recorded.
SOLUTION:
1. Activate Emboss
2. Uncheck 'Tangnet Chain' in the Emboss dialog. * Very important. This must be done *
3. Select the 4 sketch profiles (two halves of the circle, two rectangles)
4. Switch to the 'Faces' selector in the Emboss Dialog
5. Select the top face of the doorstop (the largest face).
6. Hold the CMD Key (Mac) or CTRL Key (Windows) to select the two remaining top faces.
7. Select OK to confirm the Emboss.
I had the same exact issue, and the pinned comment did not solve it for me. I had to delete the circle and then use an arc in order to get the emboss to work. However, I was unable to perform the fillet in the next step. There's something going on with that interaction between the rectangle & circle/arc.

This is the result of the Emboss feature now working on multi curved faces. Then doing the emboss turn off "Tangent Chain" and only select the 3 top faces the emboss placed on, and you should have no warping/bug.
@@KristianLaholmI’m not able to select more than one face after turning tangent chain off, do you know why that may be happening to my program?
@@micahkitchens2480 Hold down CTRL (on windows) and you should be able to select faces.
Mine worked out okay but at the end when I played with Appearance, it treated the bottom flange like a separate piece. I must've missed something in making that part of the whole thing. One question: how do I get the model lines to show up (the black lines along edges and curves)? Mine is all one solid color so for example when I emboss, if viewed from some angles the ridges are totally invisible. Thought I'd missed adding them a couple of tries at it!
To make your flange and the rest the same 3D body, you can edit that Extrude (used for the flange creation) and make sure the 'Operation' is set to Join. It may have defaulted to 'New Body' for some reason.
For the 'black lines' it's a visual style setting. Head to the bottom of your Fusion, select the Display Settings (computer icon) > Visual Style > select "Shaded with Visible Edges Only" (that should be the default setting if you ever restore your defaults).
@@ProductDesignOnline Yep, Join wasn't selected, New Body was however I just changed that and then I get an error on the Offset Faces operation to fix the little gap at the back. Not sure how to remedy the error but can't save it without that.
