Lars, another new Fusion student here. A 65 year young one at that. I'm working on my own first drawing after watching a half dozen of your videos. You really hit the nail on the head for this 2D CAD guy looking to step up to a 3D option that I can understand. And a lot of the credit for grasping Fusion 360 goes to you and your approach to how you explain things. The number of views for your videos are not all that high but I want to assure you that you produced the "gift that keeps on giving". A hearty THANKYOU ! ! ! for all your videos. For me, at least, they really hit the mark.
I'm posting this to your tube cage video but trust me, I'm a keen fan and will be watching a lot more of your YT work as I grow into Fusion.
Confusing when trying to follow using the latest version 5 years after this was recorded :) Updated version for 2022 version would be nice.
Fusion user of 3 years here: never knew about paste new until today. Wow, that could have saved a lot of time in the past ;)
Been teaching myself f360 and your videos are pure gold. Thank you sir!
Brilliant, Been trying to figure this out for ages. I'm trying to construct a conservatory frame and this will work perfectly.Thank you so much Lars.
Hi Lars, I'm new to fusion, coming from solid works. your videos are amazing, I love your presenting style, you put some life into it. You have a natural way of keeping the content moving and engaging but staying on point. Thanks for your efforts and content. I am learning fast from this. .
Your Tuts are so helpfull! So good explained! Thanks a lot!
Thanks for sharing. I was curious if you can make bends in the roll cage instead of connecting two pieces together?
Thanks Lars just needed this example and I basically learned fusion 360 mainly by following your tutorials😊
Old video and I still learn new things ☺️ Thank you!
Awesome to hear. Thank you for watching 👍😊
You are very, very clear and I finally understood how to connect pipes. Thanks a lot!
Ermagerd so much inefficiency!
Couple suggestions to users:
1. After the first item is placed use the move/copy on the new tube running along z-axis and rotate/copy about an origin axis, now you have a copy of your 6' long tube and won't have to repeat your joints (instead of paste new on an object that will be made identical.
2. Create an offset dimension on your 1st sketch that is the tube radius, now you have something to snap to without the joint offset. *Bonus you can account for tube size revisions*
3. Creating a plane along 3 points for your cuts takes some more planning but makes it much easier if you decide to change your primary dimensions later.
Suggestion 1 saves time, 2 & 3 make for a more robust model. Suggestion 1 also makes for a much more clean bill of materials in your drawing.
Great video nonetheless, still learned things.
Man you are like a CAD Bob Ross. Thanks for the teaching
Congratulations Lars with reaching #100. Excellent video's and pleasant to look at and use as reference as an absolute beginner! Keep going as you do since you are truly helping a lot of people here!
That is awesome to hear Frans van der Werf .Thank you for watching the videos
I feel like I'm back in school. just finished the table and now onto this one since I plan on designing something using tubing
Your videos are awesome. The narration of the lessons is very nice. Very informative. I learned everything from you. I also like the t-shirt very nice.
This was very helpful. Great tutorial. Thanks
dope 3D sketching!
Thanks a bunch man, very easy to follow
Lars mate your Instructional Technique is outstanding and your enthusiasm is contagious! Well done on your 100th top notch tutorial, roll on #200 :)
Thank you buddwieser :-)
I don't want to sound too negative , but I did some contract work and had to buy a license of SolidWorks. The weldment tool in SolidWorks is about 10,000 times better than the methods you have to use in Fusion360. I would just make a few 2D or 3D sketches for where I want the pipe sections. Click on the tool select my profile (8020, I-beam, H-beam, angle, solid or tube square, round, or rectangular stock and then click the line segment. Done. If I want a offset I just use the wizard to select a point on the profile to offset. If I want weld gaps, to trim, or miter a joint use a little wizard and done. Workflow is super simple. I am trying to build a simple rectangular tube frame in fusion 360 and I am pulling my hair out.
This technique is my main go to for woodworking, so fast. Thank you.
Awesome to hear. Thank you for watching 👍😊
AWESOME! been looking for tubing manufacturing in fusion for ever!
Thank you sir!
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
thank you so much for ur help . I learn new cool stuff today
This is a great idea!! I build framework for a living and to bring in a standard 30, 35, 40,45,and 50 is brilliant!.
Thanks Lars!
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
Fantastic insight and tutorial into 3D sketching. I had tried it before, but without too much success, now I know what I'm doing.
Thanks Lars.
That is awesome to hear Spike Kent .Thank you for watching the videos
simply brilliant!!
excellent video!!!
thank you so much for this tutorial you beast of a man
"Why is this blue" was my question when I was skipping ahead. Glad to see there are still unanswered questions.
Good stuff! Congratulations on 100!
Thank you so much Richard Freeze
Great videos, this helped me enormously. Thankyou
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
Great work as always Lars, this video was very informative and I definitely learned a trick or two!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
That is awesome to hear David Hoskins .Thank you for watching the videos
How would you generate a cut list for the tube?
ps thanks for the vids. Learned good working practices that make this program sooo much easier to use and doing it properly
G'day Lars,
I am just starting out with fusion. I have built a tin, that has a similar edge to your pipes above. I am trying to join the corners but I cannot use this method as when I select the body to slice, it selects the entire project. Is there a way to just join up the corners? I took a picture but don't think I can post it here. Thanks for all your videos, I have been watching for a week and learnt so much. Very slowly. You are a great teacher and explain things very well. Thanks!
^^Congrats on #100! I look forward to watching every one
Thank you so much Nick Waskow
Thank you Lars, 3d line manipulation was very useful.
That is awesome to hear K.I.S. Lending .Thank you for watching the videos
Another very helpful and informative video Lars. I will be making a new motorcycle swing arm soon and this video has helped a lot with the design process for that.
That is awesome to hear John Farrell .Thank you for watching the videos
Am just starting up and this is very useful.
Thank you Lars
First off, your info is awesome.. my question is. I'm working on a bridge port with manual z and spindel. How do I work that in manual z.
You are awesome !! With your tutorial I have designed a Router CNC machine with Square tubes . Thank you so much !
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
Great Help, Thank you Lars.
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
Is there any way to use your "stock pipe"with the sweep command for bends? Or would you project the end profile on to each individual sweep path?
Great videos, thanks!
Btw, instead of plane at angle, you can make a 45 degree plane in a corner by using midpoint plane between the walls of those two beams. I wish working with this kind of design was easier. There's pretty much nothing changed in five years to make this any easier.
This is great. I would like to design something similar using rectangular tubing. any ideas how I would go about this? Seems to be much more complex.... at least to me. Thanks
hi Lars. Trying to replicate whats in the video. You don't show the trimming of the vertical pipe to the bottom structure. When I try to split body/remove bodies - it looks really odd. Can you let me know how you would do this?
You are a great teacher, helped me a lot!
Awesome to hear. Glad that you find the content useful :-)
Great video. My interest is Scale RC 4wd vehicles and this will be great for scale roll bars and bumpers. I will have to explore how to bend the pipe instead of intersect and join.
As always great !
Thank you
great video!
Thank you Oliver Bailey
I found this very informative, thank you
You are so very welcome
Hi Lars I really appreciate your videos you have great tutorial videos, I want to design a box and make a video of the movement or animation option of two chassis one sliding in to another, what would u suggest. Thank you !
Lars - you're the best. Congrats at 100 episode Sir :)
Thank you so much O. some

Thanks for making videos like this... Is there a virtual person in fusion 360? I watched a documentary about the first submarine ever fully designed with cad and they had a virtual person (I forget what they called him) for checking if a person could fit into certain places and do certain actions. so if I wanted to design a go cart for example I could take a 5' tall virtual person put him or her in the proper sitting position and design the go cart around him/her?
Thank you Lars, you just reminded me the accent of my friends from Copenhagen
Danks!
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
Could you use extrude to plane for the 45* corners?
Thank you! You are a treasure.
Happy you find the content useful. Thank you for watching!
that was exactly my questin, why didn't the line turn blue... Great video, very clear
can you not push pull the end? I made a 2x4 and it comes up as offset face and I cant snap to a line like a could with push pull
Hey Lars. I was hoping this would be easy because Fusion's FEA is really nice. Solidworks is still much faster and easier for weldments. I hope they improve it.
If you were going to use the drawing from this project to construct a cage from, how would you know at what angle to notch the tubing?
Mine is a bit more complicated. I have an equilateral triangle for the base using schedule 1-1/2" schedule 40 pipe 8' per offset 6 inches from the ground. At each vertex I have a vertical schedule 40 pipe 10' tall. At the top (10') and midplane (9.5') there is another identical equilateral triangle section. When I try to split the bodies at the vertex it doesn't work. I get all sorts of weird shapes. I then have chevrons using 1" schedule 40 pipe as chevrons supporting the horizontal triangles. Those seem to work since they only have two intersections. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much Lars!
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
Great vid Lars. So with compound mitres, how can you create bisector plane at 30:05? With the capabilites of simulation...fish mouth is a bit dirty lol!
The century is upon us. Congratulations on making it. I've not been tuning in quite as often as I should, the house is taking priority 🏡
Thank you my friend! House totally takes priority!!
Lars Christensen hopefully we will be square by Christmas.
Thanks
Great job Thanks
Thank you rex mcgurk
Hi Lars. Very good instructional video and exactly what I was looking for currently from design standpoint. Now I'm curios also from manufacturing standpoint that have you ever done instruction how to create 2d cutting template to wrap around pipe to cut angles correctly for oddly created angles? I assume this could be accomplished with "sheet metal" tools menu? BTW I absolutely love that you go over many things from looking from perspective of manufacturing. Just the way I usually generally try to think.
Good video
Lars, the way you are flying and navigating around the model makes all the moves/sketches, mods you make painless. What 3d mouse are you using ? You make it looks so e.a.s.y.....
Great! Thank you Lars!
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
This is essential learning Lars. I am finally getting down to the drawings for my steel sub-frame . Maybe we'll over take the actual building which has already begun :-) Regards
That is awesome to hear Chris Leech .Thank you for watching the videos
Would it not have been quicker to pull in a tube, cut it to length at 45 deg each end and then simply copy that 4 times for the base?
Nice video Lars. Now I want to see a cut list 😁
Hi Michael Nelson Thank you for watching!
Like this one?

Have a great weekend!
awesome
Maybe I'm a single student.
I explain.
I'm learning English. I practice my listenig and my reading with his classes. I put subtitles in English.
And I still break learn Fusion 360. Its diction and oratory is great for learning this language.
Putting it all together, I became subscribed to your videos.
Thank you very much for your work.
Talvez eu seja aluno único.
Eu explico.
Estou aprendendo inglês. Pratico meu listenig e meu reading com suas aulas. Coloco legendas em inglês.
E de quebra ainda aprendo Fusion 360. Sua dicção e oratória é ótima para aprender este idioma.
Juntando tudo, me tornei inscrito de seus videos.
Muito obrigado por seu trabalho.
That is awesome to hear Nelson batista,RIBEIRO .Thank you for watching the videos
And that's not a joke.
In spite of his accent I can unite the interest in Fusion 360 and my nescessidad to learn English, to take advantage of his classes. I learn English as I learned Portuguese, listening to the people around me talking.
I had this start 6 months ago. I'll arrive there.
E isso não é piada.
Apesar de seu sotaque eu consigo unindo o interesse em Fusion 360 e minha necessidade de aprender inglês, tirar duplo proveito de suas aulas. Aprendo inglês como aprendi português, ouvindo as pessoas em minha volta falando.
Tive este start há 6 meses. Eu chego lá.
how would u split and remove 3 To 4 pipes join together
sir we can make joints when body is converted into component right, but in tutorial you not converted right.
you coped the tube to intersect with the vertical tube. i would like to know how you would bend the tube so you have one continuous piece from bottom to top. my bender die has a 7.5" center line radius so knowing how to set the radius would be very helpful.
Draw your 3D sketch with a bend radius and use the path command to extrude a sketch of the pipe profile. If you aren't using a center line radius you can just do a little math inside the radius dimensions (e.g. add pipe radius to center line radius if doing an inside bend).
great tutorial
Thank you carl O
To those looking for the 3D sketch section, start watching from 25:00
So does it tell you the angle of what that pipe saddle or fish bowl as you called it is supposed to be once you fabricate it in the real world? Would be nice to know the exact angle your supposed to cut it before doing it
You can use “ for inch as well and ‘ for ft
Hey great video.. I was just curious if there was a way to get templates from the tubes for cutting in real life. For example when notching tubes at an angle and you need to join them at an angle, but with out a notcher or a template you would not be able to do this precisely. Thanks
Hi Matthew Martin Thank you for watching!
I would think the next step would be to go into the 2D drawing environment and you could start laying things out, like shape and cut-list.

Hope this is useful
Hello Lars. I'm thankful that you take the time to do this videos. Good job! Do you have a video to design water piping? like with the reducers, 90 angles or so? or this is something that Fusion doesnt have.
Hi Abraham Garcia Thank you for watching!
I have not. You could model your own, or search McMaster in the "Insert" drop-down as they also have some piping you can download.
Hope this is useful.
BEst,
Lars
Hi Lars,
Thanks again for the great video! The 3D sketching is great!
I'm interested in creating helical shapes for spiral stairs cases and transitions. AutoCad creates great shapes for import as solids and breps. Creating them in fusion with multiple coils seems tedious, and the profiles are not true to form as we would build in the millworks.
Is there a best practice that you could share with us?
The 3D Sketching made me think of how sweep extruding a profile to a helix is in acad!
Cheers man!!
We are paid fusion users, pushing HSM into architectural millwork. My organization holds 5-seats, and I hold 1 for personal use and development. We machine with a 5' X 12' X 25'Z!! 4-Axis Anderson MIll (XYZ +A around the Z) with multiple aggregate tools...
Is there a way to set up aggregate tools in the manufacture workspace?
Possibly import their models as tool holders?
Awesome stuff!
Thanks again ;)
On tube Chassis there are many bends in the tubing. The bending die have specific radius's they uses. How would you bend the upright tubing that goes from the bottom sketched rectangle to the top sketch rectangle?
Ken Van Ness path and sweep.
nice!
Tusind tak for at tage dig tid til at lære fra dig, og tak for at du gad at lave en video omkring det.
Hi clement583 Thank you for watching! No problem, glad you found it helpful
when i right click the saved tube in my data panel i'm not getting an option to insert into current drawing, or insert anywhere for that matter. i'm using the free version, if that matters. any ideas? at a standstill on this tutorial so will re-visit when i figure this out.
Congrats! I just got home, so I missed it live. :-(
Thank you so much Ron Floyd
Great video on weldments. Any reason at the 17min mark you didn't just take the 2 first pipes you cut and joined, copy them both and flip them over and paste? I would have thought that to be more efficient?
Hi Ciaran Whelan Thank you for watching!
You are right. Copy, paste, pattern or mirroring is always a good option to speed things up. My only reason is that I get to show the same functions again, and repetition is the key to learning according to Zig Ziglar.
Have an awesome day
THANKS LARI
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
instead of the 45 deg cuts how would you bend the pipe? That way you could use a tube bender. Great videos I have learned a lot from watching thanks for all the advice
Hi Joe Smith Thank you for watching!
I should have included sweeps in the video. Check this out:
ruclips.net/video/WvCNGR8C2uo/видео.html
Best,
Lars
Thanks for the video lars! Is there a way to unwrap each of the tubes so that I could print out patterns on sticker paper? That way I could mark all my cuts before I started grinding and cutting? I have seen people do this with solid works for creating entire car chassis.
ruclips.net/video/_BE9aeeTusM/видео.html like in this video
I am pretty sure you can. I’ll have to test it, but this could be a great up coming video. Thank you 👍😊
Hi, I came across this video today. I was wondering if there is any LarsLive on curved chassis. If so could you direct me to the particular video?? Or could you give me some tips.
(Ps: I'm still learning(/rather discovering) to use Fusion360 although it has been a few months now...)
Check out this video ruclips.net/video/Ssrzs1FO5TI/видео.html
Best,
Lars
I like that. . . conFUSION 360. :)
Hi Charlie Sanborn Thank you for watching!
Trying my best to eliminate that word from the dictionary :-)
Lars Christensen - Helloooooo Lars and thanks for the reply. I just wanted to say how insightful your webcasts are and we all appreciate your hard work. You are one of the best educators online and you make it feel as if you are personally speaking to me. Thanks again. 😃
