Good video Lars. Very helpful seeing different ways to do the same task. Perhaps showing a number of wrong ways rolled by the most efficient way might be worthwhile. Keep them coming. Cheers
LOVE THIS STYLE! . It helped me too overcome the fear of “Not doing it right.” Sometimes you just need to "hack" out a quick design idea and then figure out an assembly method. I work this way in the wood shop a lot. Now I'm learning ways to do virtual work and mockups before cutting real wood. This style also helps me figure out dimensions and angles that I have had a hard time envisioning before. You also did a great job trying to not offend the "Right Way" designers.
Interesting way of working. Where a few things I keep: 1. the solution to grup rigid is nice and very useful, 2. The way to use hinge as assembly and still work as hinge in another assembly, and finally 3. for the split body was used in unusual way for me, but I might add that I'll do it a little different, as I split the lid and bottom and hide then, I'll make the rest of the box shell through by selecting the top and bottom face in one time(eliminating the need for combine 4 time after). Congratulations on the videos you're very helpful
Finally Lars you've gotten down to my level It never fails that when I'm trying to learn this I run into a problem and it puts a stop to everything keep up the good work thank you
Amazing videos Lars. Appreciate the teaching style. This answered so many of my beginner to intermediate questions on modeling for woodwork. It's like you read my mind. Thx again man.
this is so much more like the way my brain works. I block things out then start cutting in the details. I used to work in a factory and could CAD in my head this way as I did my boring repetitive job.its also how everyone learns how to draw, by hand on paper. I used bonzi 3d and sketchup which are made to work this way. I was a little dissapointed with fusion 360 that I couldn't seem to be able to start with 3d primitives and have gotten fairly frustrated trying to learn it "back to front" as it seems to me. so! im really glad you made this vid.
This is primarily the style that I model in. I could see a nice follow up to this being a video on making the model parametric friendly and what to watch out for when designing parametric models. The tricky part here would be getting the hinge subtraction to work right without leaving a variable number of screwhole-faces left to extrude down.
Hi Mikhail Davidov Thank you for watching! Yes, I would love to do some follow up on this. Actually, I would like to do more of this kind of stuff on the livestreams. Love the debate it creates about what is right and what is wrong
Lars you are the best! I always learn something from every one of your videos. Even when going in I think I'm not. I didn't know you can edit Mcmaster Carr parts! Very cool! Thank you!
Lars, I think this approach is better in demonstrating the versatile approach to modelling. I,m used to the structure of browsers in inventor and solidworks and always referred to the parametric history while working to completion for a part or assembly. In fact in my recent effort in fusion I relied on the timeline in the same way. It also might be useful, if you had a small physical component or assembly on your desk which you could measure and then model on the screen... might take a little longer than 30 mins though. Good work.
Hi wishbone569 Thank you for watching! I think I need to do a better job showing how Fusion is different than Inventor and SolidWorks. In Fusion, you have to worry less about doing things in the "right" order or your model blows up. Have a great day!
Great video Lars. Would have given two thumbs up if possible. I especially like the part where you bring in the hinge from McMaster Carr and modify it. I have been having problems importing and manipulating these objects but this really clears things up. Yes, more videos like this please and keep up the good work!
Another awesome video, thanks for the effort you put into all of these. In the spirit of modelling the way I want.. after the Shell command, I lopped off the bottom with the Split Body command as you showed for the lid and saved having to do all of the separate side piece Combine commands. Same result, different way (which I took to be the point of the video). Again, thanks Lars for helping beginners to break into this amazing software!
I'd been using 123D, but am starting to learn 360. That is just how I would have made that box, but have been trying to try and train myself to do things "the right way". It's good to know that my "hacking" ways aren't always frowned upon :) Cheers man. Love your videos.
I get what you're going for here and can appreciate the sentiment of "if it works...", but the "right" way to do things isn't that way because it's the only way, it's that way because it is a combination of the simplest, most robust, most efficient, and most intuitive way. It's like programming...you can brute force a huge "if...then" block or use a select block. Both get you where you're going but the select is the "right" way.
What are these "inches" you speak of? heh. I think you could have combined all those bodies in one action. Great subject; sometimes I get stalled wondering how to start, just jumping in and laying out some shapes is what wakes me up again.
Lars, you have a very informative video series on Fusion 360 and this adds one more to it. I would be interested in learning how to use form tools in CNC lathe and turning (eg: Krnuling, broaching) could you please share or make a video on that? Thank you!
Have you done a video where you do a different extrusion on both the top and the bottom of a body. Something like the lid of this box where you want a handle on the top and a little tool holder on the underside of the lid? Enjoyed the video and learned a lot. Thanks. Bob.
Hi Bob Stewart Thank you for watching! Something like these two video here: ruclips.net/video/r2JtSLt809Q/видео.html ruclips.net/video/bZ9yxoiFlqI/видео.html Hope this is useful.
Hi Lars, I know this is an older video but I need help. I continued on adding some screws and a little handle to this model using rigid joints and it has trapped the lid i.e. it will no longer rotate. Perhaps you go over this in another video? Thanks!
Lars, it seems RUclips has failed to put your Render video on your channel. A few people are experiencing this. We get the notification but when we go to your channel its not listed. I have to go to my notifications and click on it there to watch it. Same with this video at least for me. Just a heads up. - Jacob S.
Sorry, totally my fault. I was holding on to the release of this because I needed to upload the recording of #69. Never crossed my mind that you would get notified and then not see the videos.
Is it possible that this method might have painted you into a corner? What if you now decide that the side walls need to be a different thickness than the front and back walls or if you want to have a thinner top? Will you have to go back and delete the "shell" step and will that cause errors for your split body steps? Is there an approach that will be more resilient to changes down the road?
Hi Ken Hackbarth Thank you for watching! I don't know if I would say that I have painted myself in a corner. I could use offset face as an example to edit each side. But, I get your point. I am not saying that driving everything with a sketch would be stupid, I am just saying that there are different ways to model things, and people should not worry so much about the "right" way. Thank you for your comment! Have a great day!
Hi Christian, I recognize that one could make up for questionable earlier decisions but it's a bandaid and you can end up with bandaids on top of other bandaids. Mostly, you sacrifice the fundamental benefits of parametric modeling. I've recently experienced a case where going back and modifying an early feature resulted in a cascade of warnings that I simply couldn't correct and instead had to restart my model. I'd say that is a good indication that my process was flawed.
How would you convert this "hacked" model into a parametric model without building it all over again? Would you just edit each component and add dimensions? I would HOPE to end up with an assembly that could be scaled without changing wall thickness, or change wall thickness without changing outer dimensions, etc.
Thanks Las you helped a lot but I just couldn't get the hinge to rotate and I tried a number of time, I'm sure I followed what you did and kept going back checking, but alas I couldn't get it to work, but I am on the latest version so not sure if things have changed.
It should still be working. To my knowledge there are no new functions that should prohibit that. But, anyways, if you get that far, hopefully you got a few tricks that made it worth watching the video
@@cadcamstuff I did thank you, brand new to this program I want to learn it so I can design a chuck box for camping, I have the box made so far but I have to watch more and learn how to adjust the sizes now but I know it can be done.
hi lars, i was wondering if you can make the screw from the cut itself instead of deleting it..?can you turn it into a screw by cutting a cross hole on top of it..
Hi Lars, I have been facing a problem lately, when i click the "Insert into current design" only the flag we made in the as-built joints appears, the piano hinge itself doesn't appear. Your videos are really helpful. :-)
Hi Lars.Great informative video. I'm new to fusion 360 and busy learning the program. Please help with the last part of the video. I cant joint the hinge to the lid. Gives me a conflict error. Pretty frustrated by now!. Thanks
Hi JP Visser Thank you for watching! Sorry about the frustration. If I was you, I delete the joints and start over...sometimes two steps back leads to five forward
Hi Travis Beard Thank you for watching! I would recommend you go back and double check the steps in the video. Sounds like you missed something. Best, Lars
Is there a way to creat accurate curves in Fusion 360? I just need to create a curve from a picture to follow the edge of it. The problem that I face is a fraction of the size of the picture and I need to draw it and scale it up, but it's too small. Can you help me?
Hi Rob Probasco Thank you for watching! I normally create a box that has dimensions of my overall length and width and then scale the image to fit within there. For your curves, yes, you can fully define splines by creating relationships and you can also dimension the length of the spline handles. Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/6u29SqgvQik/видео.html I did not dimension the splines in the end, but you for sure can. Then you have a totally accurate curve.
Hi j jilla Thank you for watching! If you turn it into a component you should be able to drag it with your mouse. If it is bodies then you can't Hope this is helpful
kjk2227l Same here. Go to your notifications and then click on it. For some reason RUclips didnt put it on his channel. Same with me on this one too. - Jacob S.
Sorry, totally my fault. I found that when I turned on In-canvas rendering, the open source software I use for live streaming froze. So I decided to record the session. It never crossed my mind that you guys would get notifications to stuff that did not exist.
Lars Christensen quick question lars should i use climb milling or conventional milling on a cnc router gantry style for aluminum? My machine is not very rigged but just wondering im at a loss and found videos online but still confused? Thanks lars
Often we just want that one-off thingy we need to get done. Using the "right way" I end up just doing it on paper or other software as the effort do it Fusion may not be worth it. This method certainly would be easier in those situations.

That is awesome to hear Paul Sundnæs .Thank you for watching the videos.
Yes, moved from Denmark to the US back 1999
I always enjoy these but this one is extra good in that it shows as we say in the USA "there is more than on way to skin a cat".

How can I get in touch with you?
Thanks in advance
How do you just click something and move it? I always need to use the move command.

If you turn it into a component you should be able to drag it with your mouse. If it is bodies then you can't

Yup. Thanks a lot Lars, I was finding it a little frustrating that I couldn't figure that out in 2 years of fusion lol. .

70, wow, where is time going.
I know. Initially, I decided that I would at least do 100...maybe I need to make that number higher.
Lars Christensen I did like the dirty way to make a box. I'm not sure that anyone would actually make a box like that but it was entertaining
Oh I'm expecting at least 1,000 :)
No way 100 will be enough. You have become a WAY OF LIFE!
