The fact you are still replying to comments after SIX years is insane I whish ther were more people like you Paul you make me feel on the top of the world
3-4 month ago i didn't know anything about fusion, right now i can almost make any model I can think of, this is all thanks to this guy who began it all for me. Thanks Paul
Oh man, that's good to hear.
Finally! An instructor who actually pedagogically breaks down why things behave the way they do, not just run along like everybody else here on youtube! Subscribed and with Mr. McWhorter skills in my toolbelt, I can repay that by educating others in my area...thanks once again and glad to be onboard of this Fusion 360 train!
I couldn’t agree more. Rather than saying, click here, click there. Also, thanks for learning me a new word 😉
Why is this comment showing up on the wrong video ("Diablo IV Campfire Chat - June 2023"), four years after it was made? 🤔
@@mwcz5190 I've been having that issue a lot with RUclips lately too. Mainly if I have I video open and I try to reply to a notification. It's some kind of a bug, and I've read a lot of people have been having that issue lately.
You're an amazing instructor. I wish there were more folks like you in the public education system.
Amaziiiing instructor..❤️👍
You are one of the very few posters whose videos I can watch and not have Captions on. Excellent tutorial.
Paul, your a brilliant teacher. Even my 66 year old brain cells can understand what you are teaching. I keep forgetting what you have said so I have to keep pausing and going back to remind myself but I'm getting there, bit by bit. ( need a sledge hammer to get things to stay in my head ). Other tutorials just leave my brain a mush so gave up on them, but yours are great and I'm not dead yet so your doing OK.
Thank you Paul for these excellent videos on Fusion 360. I am on my 7th complete view-thru of Lesson 1. I follow along completing the exercises over and over. It is becoming automatic with me. I have done Lesson 2 and 3 the same way and am clumsily learning the dance. Today I am back to Lesson 1 to make sure I haven't missed anything. Your lessons are priceless to me as I learn this amazing program. I have used Rhino for years and am trying to migrate to Fusion 360. Finally, I am making real progress as I follow your lessons.
Whew!! This was a close one! I was searching for a decent tutorial on fusion 360 and was getting more and more frustrated. From your arduino tutorials I saw this course. The relief you have given me is immense. I appreciate your efforts to create these lessons. From my earlier searches I am amazed at how many lousy instructors there are. There is a special place in heaven for you, Paul!
Great to hear!
watched this series first time round, and had some time away from fusion360 - so came back for a refresher - just excellent teaching and presentation skills...thank you Paul McWhorter.
Man am I glad I kept searching! Your lessons for beginners come highly recommended by many people. I am as beginner as they get and the slow and deliberate teaching is EXACTLY what I needed and have been looking for so I can learn 2D sketching for my CNC plasma table. There are so many great tutorials out there but so many just race through without giving the very basics first. Thank you for lesson 1, I will be following for more content. Thank you again!!!
I've been trying to learn Fusion for years. I gave up and stuck with Vcarve. Now I bought another plasma table for home use and am looking for alternatives to Vcarve. I'm learning Inkscape (surprisingly similar to Vcarve and still way easier than Fusion).
Absolutely brilliant video for a complete beginner to fusion 360 who hasn't used any sort of CAD in over a decade, thank you!!
Fantastic! I’ve struggled with other “beginner” tutorials on F360, but I’ve just finished my 9x9 grid and am now going to carry on with the series. Thanks so much 👍
Paul , I cannot keep thanking you enough for all your videos. You are excellent at what you do and the best teacher I've come across in my life. I hope you inspire more people to be like you.
Thanks Paul, I was ready to give up on learning Fusion 360 until I discovered your tutorials. Now I am sure I can make it work for me. Well done!
Great tutorial! I have tried so many that rapidly skip around and I spend more time being confused than learning. Paul's approach of emphasising the basic building blocks in a structured fashion with repetition has already helped me properly understand so much. Thanks!
I d/l a 30 day trial of fusion 360. I followed your tutorial to the tee and i was impressed. Great tutorial
I’m in my 3rd year in product design and I was very frustrated in learning fusion this whole time. Thank you so much! Best lecturer!
I started playing with Fusion 360 about 9 months ago and "built" a few thing with my kids. Now my 10 year old wants to "build" things in Fusion 360, so he is starting to go through your tutorials. I appreciate your simple straightforward approach along with an explanation for everything with no assumptions on the part of the user and what they may or may not know.
Paul McWhorter I learned Arduino programming, with absolute zero knowledge about it, from your video series and your instructions were so clear and helpful. I am so glad that you’ve got a series on Fusion 360 because I am about to start playing around with it and I know that you’re gonna be the perfect instructor.
Thank you so much for this video. It really got me excited about Fusion 360.
Too many videos show you how Fusion 360 works and they just jump right in with showing the basics.
Can't wait to go through all the tutorials you have.
Again, thanks for taking the time to do this series of videos.
Your videos are great I have taken AutoCAD 2D and 3D and several fusion classes and my understanding has blossomed through your teaching style. Thank you!
Greetings Paul. Just wanted to write a quick note to thank you for putting this series together. It was an absolute pleasure to work through each video, and your thoughtful and methodical approach to teaching made learning the basics of Fusion 360 possible, and fun! I learned enough from your series that I've been able to model fairly complex replacement parts for my car, and they fit and work perfectly. Thank you!
Fantastic I'm a complete beginner so you sir are a godsend.
You are so far the best that I have come across that explains what needs to be done in simple terms that I personally understand. You start at the very beginning, unlike some they start in the middle which is very hard to follow. Keep up the great tutorials.
I really like that you starts from the very basic traditional way, when I look other videos, I had no clue why this and that. This is the best way to teach, that means treat us like know zero, not trying to show how fancy tricks you know. Thanks.
Excellent teaching techniques Paul. I've watched other ones that claim 'beginner' status...this is the best I've found so far at actually going right back to true beginner stage. Thank you. I'll use your lessons with my students at school. Great job!
It's important that we still have good engineers and instructors who share their knowledge for free. I always appreciate such great people like Paul McWhorter for their efforts in helping young enthusiastic learners. Thanks a lot, Paul.
Thank you for posting this. This helped immensely!! Look forward to you other videos on this topic.
Even after 2 years.. Paul, you're the best professor ever! I'm coming back here to review a few concepts! Thanks
This is one of the best tutorial videos I have come across so far. Thank you so much for not only producing it but also for being such a great instructor
This is how learning 101 should be. Subscribed.
What a legend! I just finished your arduino lessons and now university is teaching me Fusion 360 and I can't believe you teach that as well.
Happy days for me
You are a life saver . Thank you so much for the help.I always had these uncomfortable questions like "where sould I put it" "why it's not copying itself" etc. You really gave me a zero point to start learning .Thank you!
Paul thanks I'm your age and I love that I can keep learning as long as there are guys out there like you.
Glad you are still learning. I think it is good for us to keep our minds learning like that.
Paul, I'm with Peter on this, I only 75% through the first tutorial and already I have learned more than the last two years looking at other youtube videos on this subject, great presentation
This lesson has given me the confidence to apply myself to the task of learning Fusion 360. I am an absolute beginner but I can sense the rich possibilities that might lie ahead. Thanks for your careful explanations and your awareness of how terribly perplexing and frustrating it is to attempt to teach oneself without adequate introductory lessons. I am much obliged and hope to progress to further lessons.
Compared to other tutorials, your teaching method sticks better because of your explanation of "why" and and best practices. Love having you as a teacher, excited to finish another binge watch for me on this series after finishing your excellent Arduino series.
This is just lesson 1 and it already have my eyes open on many things that could be done with fusion 360! It feels like I am beginning to get to know the app like the back of my own hand. Your method of teaching Mr. McWhorter is truly A class and you're able to make the complexities boil to reasonable simplicities. I have watched all your most excellent Arduino lessons and now it seems you have created yet another set of lessons of the same class. (Your lessons from "The Bible Boy" ARE THE BEST!)
Thanks Paul. Just recently decided to try Fusion 360 again after giving up a few times. Your tutorial makes all the difference. I am actually "getting it" this time!
You are a fantastic tutor. Starting with the basics like this is so unusual that it like a breath of fresh air. Plus I love how you repeat things to make sure we get it firmly fixed in our mind. Thank you.
just a little tip paul, since I use AutoCAD/Civil 3d at work, you can click in the wheel on your mouse to pan around instead of selecting it at the bottom or using zoom to move/pan the screen
I'm at a point for my business I need to learn Fusion360. Your videos are the right amount of specific without overloading the viewer, thank you!
Been learning Arduino from your online courses (haven't finish yet) and really enjoyed them. So glad that I found you're teaching Fusion 360 as well! I'm coming from a different 3d program and been trying to find my way in Fusion 360 for making 3d printing models. I tried to follow other online resources and got very frustrated due to missing out the small things you note about, which saves a lot of frustration and make a huge difference once you master them. Your videos on the other hand are very easy to follow, no rushing and everything is explained to the very bit. Thanks a million! :)
Thank you so much Paul. You are a talented educator. That's how it's done :)
So often the best teachers are the ones that had to work at it. thanks mate!
Yep, if there is one thing I understand is how to be confused by Autodesk products. They are so powerful, it is a hard area to break into. Sort of like C programming. Everything assumes you already know everything, so lots of tutorials are hard to follow. Still have not learned C type programming.
@@paulmcwhorter C is hard to digest but it pretty much the only programming language I use. I learned python but I felt like I was skipping a bunch of steps. Python does a lot of stuff for you in the background with C every detail is left to the programmer.
I'm up to lesson 8, thanks! this is the right learning platform for me, right speed, great content, and skill development pattern.
Holy cow. I learned more in the first video than anything else on RUclips. Most don’t start at the VERY BASICS. thank you
I've given up for years....watching your series now!!
One of THE BEST Fusion 360 Training Videos. There are many training videos for Fusion 360. But this is the best. Paul McWhorter, is really a nice instructor !!! Good start Paul, I will go through all the videos. -
I saw a 20 minute video on Fusion 360 and I was planning on skimming the whole thing. Thank god I didn't LOL Thank you for posting this, I can't wait to learn even more.
Paul, thank you. I have used AutoCad for over 20 years and started Fusion a year ago but gave up because it did not make sense. You break it down where other RUclipsrs make jumps that are sometimes difficult to follow.
I will now breakout my 3D printer and really start using it.
Thanks for creating these amazing tutorials. You're an excellent teacher
Had a huge amount of things go on including moving but I'm back !!! Excited to start this course thanks Paul
This is a great video that describes the basics of how to use Fusion360. Other videos just dive into making something and hope you'll learn along the way, but this video describes the fundamentals of how to use the software. This is what I refer to as "teaching", a concept lost in most RUclips videos these days in exchange for flashy click bait presentations, titles, and graphics. Thank you Paul!
Paul thanks for taking the time to do these informative videos, I'm learning quite a bit watching them.
I like how you emphasis on helping us understand how the user interface differs from what has become the norm nowadays. I too have been stuck in not understanding where I were in the process.
Best one I've watched yet.
Coming from 2D Turbocad, I tried to get ahead of myself...unsucessfully.
This breaks it down nicely.
Thanks Paul.
Excellent explanation on Fusion 360! Finally, it was done plainly and in a simple way to clearly understand. Thanks and keep it up!
I trust in Paul McWhorter. Downloaded this series and now will try.
I learned so many things from you and applied in my projects as well. You inspires me a lot. Your dedication towards these engineering field gives me motivation to work more and more. 💞💞💞
Holy Crap, I never knew you made lessons on 3D printing too, I had gotten my printer as gift from my brother and I tried modeling but got bored and just Left it like 2-3 times. Your Channel is an absolute Gold mine. So are you, Thank you Mr.Paul
wow so amazing, iv been through many youtube tutorials some of them so slow and offtopic and some of them fast pace with no explaining the fundamentals, I think I have hit the jackpot with you,,you are a great teacher and lecturer thanks
Paul I hate to bother you and first want to thank you so much for your videos. I recently purchased an enterprise seat with Fusion 360 in large part because I was confident I could master the program sufficiently after going through many of your lessons. I had tried CAD before and gave up because it was an illogical confused random mess. Not so with Fusion there seems to be an understandable congruent logic behind it.
So I was feeling very blessed when I was awoken by my neighbors shooting a shotgun in the valley next to my home. See it made me remember I had seen an email about 1/2 price subscription so I pulled it up called and got a seat for under $250.00 with an hour to spare. I wanted an enterprise seat because I am seriously pursuing development of a commercial product that will have several patents involving a firearm. Hence my amusement that I was awoken by someone shooting in the nick of time, for the first time in the 15 years I have lived here.
All good but to test my ability to learn my son opened a student account and that is what I practiced on to prove myself capable. Now I can't sign to do anything on my enterprise account and Autodesk help has not been. They said they were going to expire my sons account so it wouldn't auto log in and last night it didn't but this morning it did again. If I die trying just to sign into the account I paid for that would be a shame indeed. I have called emailed and did everything possible to remedy this clearing cashe uninstalling and everything else. As good as the program is Autodesk's login subscription and everything related is an unmitigated quagmire of a mess. They have help chat that really is a series of automated responses called Ava that isn't a real person. They have a picture of a person and give texts back like a person so how would you know? What a shame a company of this size can't even have a live chat person. Anyway if a reader or follower can possibly give some advice I would be very thankful.
Everytime im trying to learn any engineering-related topic I inmediately look up if you have any video on the subject. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!
I have just installed Fusion 360 and You sir, are going to be my official teacher. so i'm gonna start with lesson 1, and do a lesson every day.
Paul thank you for making your tutorials a pleasure to watch and most informative
Thank you for this series of lessons, I'm up to lesson 4 and learning a lot! Keep them coming....
Good deal. Hope you will keep going with the series.
HIGHLY UNDERATTED, this should have millions of views!!
Paul, thanks for the great video. Really makes it a lot easier to understand!
i have linked this to my sons as well.. we are getting a 3d printer and will be using your vids!
This is awesome! I was just thinking that it was gonna be harder to learn Fusion 360 than it was to build my CNC Router. BOOM! I have rectangles. I love your style. Can’t wait to jump into lesson 2.
Wonderful. Just the right amount of repetition to anchor concepts. Well organized and explained. Autocad site tutorials just have one do things without explaining the "why" very well at all, which makes it much harder to assimilate.
Thanks for this series Paul. You've helped me a ton in F360 where all others failed.
It was very educational. I built my first product. You don't know how happy you made me. Thanks
You got me started with fusion 360 (I know max well) and now I use it for things to 3d print often or now tend to goto it often. I started with the box that has the hinges, that one teaches everything well with the constraint parts of this and I feel decently confident to do simple things in it now. The box with the hinges would be the one to watch if youre only going to watch one.
You are a freaking genius, sir! Why didn't I discover this channel before? Thanks for explaining in a simple way something that took me weeks to understand!
after watching fancy starting u are the one who can get me started,thanks
in the country where i live if a man wanted to teach the way you are teaching, i have to pay them lots of money. bundle of thanks to you paul here it is amazing tutorials for free you are awesome
This tutorial is one of the best Fusion 360 tutorials I have seen. thank you very much. subscribed and thumbs up
Excellent tutorial, thanks for sharing!!
great tutorial, thank you!! ... even coming from a good understanding of 3DS Max, I was very frustrated with Fusion,, this really helps to clarify. This is a GREAT example of how to make a proper beginners tutorial... explaining the concepts.
Thank you so much for this video. You are an amazing teacher. I really appreciate this. Bravo!
Another 66-year-old brain here. I ran three software companies back in the 80s and 90s and was involved when the GUI on the Mac and PC (GEM and Windows) first came out. The design mantra back then (and ever since) was "selection precedes command" which meant that you always FIRST selected something by clicking with the mouse and THEN did something to it with the mouse or by clicking on something in a dialog box.
Your tutorial is absolutely wonderful for clearly describing some of the ways this program breaks with all those conventions that have built up for the 40 years that the conventional GUI has been used (if you go back to the late 1970s and Xerox Parc and then the Apple Lisa).
You very accurately described the journey I took prior to arriving at your channel: my son gave me a Ender 3D printer for Christmas; I built it and learned how to make Thingiverse objects (both activities, including using Cura, were a piece of cake); I decided I needed to learn how to make my own parts because 3D scanners just aren't good enough to create replacement/repair parts; I looked at all the CAD and modeling software and realized that I'd be able to do more if I could figure out Fusion 360 rather than learn a kiddie toy; I installed the software, I followed a few other tutorials, but then realized that even after hours of learning I couldn't even create and print a cube.
So, thanks for an A+ first tutorial, and I now have some hope that I might actually learn this program before I die (at 66, "die trying" takes on a different meaning).

P.S. This thing still might be the death of me. Why? Because the designers seemed to have gone out of their way to do things differently, but without any reason. Case in point: center mouse wheel zoom. It works backwards from every other program in the universe. Why???
F1 doesn't bring up help, unlike every Windows program I've ever used or built. Why???
What an absolute revelation. Thank you so much. Nothing like laying down foundations before building something. Lekker. Dankie.
Awesome instructions. Look forward to all the lessons.
Yes: first lessen done. Great.
Paul, Your RUclips title grabbed me in a microsecond. This is exactly the emotions I've been feeling. I've been trying to wean myself off of 123Design which I've been using for 3 years. After lots of research I decided to retrain my brain to work in the free version of Fusion 360. You are just what I need. I'm with you Buddy! (I don't want to die though).
A TRUE beginners guide! thanks Paul!
Whew boy, when you find out Paul does 3d printing tutorials after spending most of the year learning Arduino.... safe to say I'm excited!
Thank you so much Paul, your series was able to assist me to ramp up on fusion360 within 24hrs with this series, as I also hit walls with Sketchup. Many thanks ans warm regards from Port Elizabeth, South Africa
You're unarguably an amazing instructor!!! Your way of instructing is so engaging. If possible, please make one more series of instruction on getting to master AutoCAD.
thank you for the clear tutorial. great job 👍
Great job Paul. I'm just getting into it. Just realized in the preferences, I can change my orientation to make Z up to match yours. Reason is my cnc machine likes it when Z axis goes up and down.
Thank you Paul i think your a great teacher ! you making it easy understanding fusion 360 i will gladly follow your training cause you have the right stuff!!!!
Wow... great information,
thank you so much!
thank you! this is the first tutorial where i actually understood what the heck was going on! This is so useful, thank you for making these!
Definitely recommend this series if you are wanting to start learning fusion 360. Tip: if you can't find something he is clicking on, check the comments. The latest version of fusion 360 has moved a few things around. Most videos have someone commenting on where it is. Don't give up!
great video I know the basics keep the videos coming can wait to learn the harder parts of fusion 360 thanks for all the videos.
Great! I am really loving fusion 360. Stick with it, once you figure out a few things, it becomes really fun, and powerful.
Another GREAT series, Thank you!
OK, hope you stick with it. We have some great videos coming out in this series.
I learn Fusion 360 from these video 1-2 years ago, now I almost forgot many things, so I just watch the video again for revision. Still the best tutorial video for Fusion 360
All of his videos are the best.. No matter what he teach, he always brings the standard and quality ...
Your instruction with the interjection of “why....” enhanced my understanding of the product. Well done.
