07 Fusion 360 Intermediate Part Modeling Concepts

Basic for some, intermediate for others, advanced for the rest of you. In Part 7 of this Fusion 360 series Rob covers Loft, Circular Pattern, and a few other handy tips for part modeling in Fusion 360.

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO ... love your approach - it feels natural after years of SWKS

Hi Rob,
A nice demo again! I think it's good that you show that it's possible to to a traditional bottom-up approach with Fusion. One of the reasons you said that this is important is that you would like more people to work on a certain design at the same moment. And I agree, but I think (and correct me if I'm wrong) that tasks in an engineering team are probably more on a function than on a part level. So what I think works awesome is somewhere in between, where you do this workflow as you perfectly describes, but then on the full housing instead of just the back plate. This way you leverage the full power of Fusion and make things easier to manage as you release a functional block. Does that make sense?
I now work with a small company making furniture and each cabinet is a fusion design, and they're put together as a kitchen using the linking. You way of working (creating an empty document, and linking it with some references), is then perfect to finish the design (like a common recessed handle for example).
Anyway keep those movies coming!
Regards,
David

Hi David - You nailed the intent and you are right most of the division of labor in projects is typically separated by discipline. This approach works even better in that context. Glad people are finding these videos useful, I have a good time making them so I'll keep posting. Glad to take requests for topics.
