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.
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 ;)
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. .
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.
Confusing when trying to follow using the latest version 5 years after this was recorded :) Updated version for 2022 version would be nice.
Been teaching myself f360 and your videos are pure gold. Thank you sir!
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
Old video and I still learn new things ☺️ Thank you!
Awesome to hear. Thank you for watching 👍😊
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 :-)
Your Tuts are so helpfull! So good explained! Thanks a lot!
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.
You are very, very clear and I finally understood how to connect pipes. Thanks a lot!
Thanks Lars just needed this example and I basically learned fusion 360 mainly by following your tutorials😊
This was very helpful. Great tutorial. Thanks
Man you are like a CAD Bob Ross. Thanks for the teaching
Thanks a bunch man, very easy to follow
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
dope 3D sketching!
AWESOME! been looking for tubing manufacturing in fusion for ever!
Thank you sir!
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
simply brilliant!!
This technique is my main go to for woodworking, so fast. Thank you.
Awesome to hear. Thank you for watching 👍😊
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.
thank you so much for ur help . I learn new cool stuff today
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
^^Congrats on #100! I look forward to watching every one
Thank you so much Nick Waskow
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!
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
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
Great Help, Thank you Lars.
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
excellent video!!!
thank you so much for this tutorial you beast of a man
Thank you Lars
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!
Thank you Lars, 3d line manipulation was very useful.
That is awesome to hear K.I.S. Lending .Thank you for watching the videos
Great videos, this helped me enormously. Thankyou
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
ps thanks for the vids. Learned good working practices that make this program sooo much easier to use and doing it properly
As always great !
Thank you
Good stuff! Congratulations on 100!
Thank you so much Richard Freeze
Lars - you're the best. Congrats at 100 episode Sir :)
Thank you so much O. some
Am just starting up and this is very useful.
You are a great teacher, helped me a lot!
Awesome to hear. Glad that you find the content useful :-)
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.
I found this very informative, thank you
You are so very welcome
Thank you Lars, you just reminded me the accent of my friends from Copenhagen
Danks!
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
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.
Thank you! You are a treasure.
Happy you find the content useful. Thank you for watching!
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.
Thanks so much Lars!
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
Great! Thank you Lars!
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
"Why is this blue" was my question when I was skipping ahead. Glad to see there are still unanswered questions.
great video!
Thank you Oliver Bailey
Thanks for sharing. I was curious if you can make bends in the roll cage instead of connecting two pieces together?
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
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.
Great job Thanks
Thank you rex mcgurk
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.....
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.
Thanks
awesome
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!
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.
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
Good video
great tutorial
Thank you carl O
that was exactly my questin, why didn't the line turn blue... Great video, very clear
To those looking for the 3D sketch section, start watching from 25:00
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!
THANKS LARI
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
You can use “ for inch as well and ‘ for ft
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!
nice!
Wish you had covered this topic about two months ago when I had to design a support table for an CNC Router, using two inch square tubing.
Hi Arie N Ellen de Vries Thank you for watching! That is lame! I take the blame for this :-) How did your table turn out?
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.

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
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.
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. 😃
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 !
hej Lars, congratulations on the 100th episode. Thank you for streaming all these awesome videos to us. I watch the recorded videos, because the time you go live, I'm busy doing other things in a different timezone here in Denmark. But hey, that's why the recordings are made - right? It feels good to see our national flag, Dannebrog, in the background, btw :-)
Tak for alle dine tips og smittende humør. Jeg bruger Fusion 360 på hobbybasis til design af ting som jeg 3d printer. Hav en fantastisk dag.
Looking forward to the next 100 episodes :-)
Hi Poul Anker Ersly Thank you for watching!
Ha en rigtig god dag!!
Congrats! I just got home, so I missed it live. :-(
Thank you so much Ron Floyd
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!
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,
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 ;)
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?
Hey guys
If you find all the cutting and deleting components a bit too much of a trouble here's an easier way to achieve the same results in less than half the time:
...
When you are at this point 2:50 extrude to both sides (any length), proceed to create a new sketch and draw 45 deg. lines at each end of the pipe and extrude "cut" those corners.
...
Follow the same procedure as in 8:57 to insert this stock tube into a new file. Now you just new to make the new component active and edit its length.
VOILÁ ! ! !
...
place it anywhere you like.
...
BTW, You may not even need a sketch in the first place.
You're welcome!!!
mycket bra!
Thank you Lingon berygaming
Great work as always Lars. Could you please elaborate on the difference between "delete" and "remove". I don't quite understand. Congrats on #100. You do the work of the gods!
Hi Quinn Hale Thank you for watching!
It is a little confusing :-)
This might help:

We can for sure pick this up in a livestream
Thank you Lars. That pretty well clears it up. It does seem like an area that needs a bit of cleaning up though, as far as nomenclature goes. I'll look forward to seeing your next video. I watch them all.
I'm a fan & new subscriber. If I may suggest it, you might consider upgrading your mic/audio. It's a bit rough & fuzzy. But the videos are really great for me. I have used half a dozen different 3D modeling programs but have never really mastered any of them. I love this one and hope to get really competent with it.
Hi hammockmonk Thank you for watching!
Yes, livestreaming does come with the price of less quality, sorry
Glad you find the videos helpful!
BEst,
Lars
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?
cool i might be trying to make a motorcycle frame for a dragracer and there might be some tools to use in here.. tak Lars
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
you are best
Thank you 👍😊
How would you generate a cut list for the tube?
found easier way then dimensioning every center line by offsetting plane to half width minus pipe etc. just offset both outsides of frame inward in sketch. make them constructiion lines.create planes at angle using offset lines. then make line in space and create coincident between both offset lines on top and bottom frame via 3d sketch. if you changle frame size and pipe it wont affect much
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 for reading my mind (altho scary). I’m just about to design a chassie for a lasercutter:) this guide comes at the exact right time.
Hi methuso Thank you for watching! Ha excellent!!
Let me see if I can continue reading your mind....You want steak for dinner....steak and beer?
BEst,.
Lars
Lars Christensen shpot on mate :)
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?
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).
Could you use extrude to plane for the 45* corners?
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
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
