9: Direct Modeling

Fusion 360 supports your design process by allowing you to edit history-free models and history-based models within the same design.
- Create base features to make conceptual models and make edits without tracking history
- Change individual features outside of a parametric model's history and timeline without creating errors that make the model fail-while maintaining parametric design history on all of your model’s other features

This is exactly what I was looking for, fantastic!

It seems to me that in large part, direct modeling is a solution for poorly constraining the model for design intent, as is shown @ 6:48.

Thanks a lot for this awesome thorough video, well made, and very informative.

[@masterxeon1001]

thats some powerful stuff.

[@Frankenstein786]

How does direct modeling effect drawing creation and simulation? With parametric solving disabled what limitations are you imparting downstream?

[@MarioRobles93]

are there any disadvantages to this??? cuz God damn it its amazing!!

[@robingdwl]

sometimes having the timeline can be an advantage.

Cannot edit the sketch of the base feature? That sucks, I spent half a day for this shit.

[@yash1152]

lol whattt?? 😅

Direct modeling can cut both ways. It can provide freedom as well as encourage poor relational practices.
