Day 4 of Learn Fusion 360 in 30 Days for Complete Beginners! - 2023 EDITION 

What problem(s) do you face with the Loft command? Full course on RU-vid: bit.ly/30daysUpdated (I'll update this playlists as each Day is released)

This series is absolutely amazing so far. Thank you so much!

What I really like about these courses is that I don't have to pause constantly to do what you've explained. A lot of other courses go so quick I can't process the thing explained, but with your course I can just press play once and follow allong! :D Thanks, can't wait to continue learning more about F360!

Wow I just started watching your older series on this and it turns out you’re updating them. Amazing content and thank you for the hard work!

Thanks for this series of learnings... I've learned more in an hour from you than I have from several other series, has essentially wasted time on editorializing instruction. You style is direct and to the point, which is very much appreciated. This has really demonstrated the power of the tools and how to apply them, which will be super helpful for me to create the parts that I intend to model now. Thanks for the knowledge!!!

I spent few weeks learning Blender because someone on the internet told me it's better than Fusion 360... but now I see it's just the opposite! Fusion is much better and sophisticated especially for 3D printing

My school program touches on 3d modeling VERY briefly, and I had a 2d CAD class in high school that dabbled right at then end-but I decided that while I have my student license and access to a maker space, I'm going to learn how to model and print… please don't laugh, whatever transformers (non transformable) I want. A dumb goal? Maybe. But at least I'm going to learn the skill.

Thanks so much for doing this! Now I’m anxiously awaiting new days!! The content is excellent, and is making me really comfortable as a total newbie working in fusion 360.

Really good lessons! I got addicted to these! I've been scetching 3D models previously with OpenSCAD & TinkerCAD. With your lessons my creativity just starts to fly! And these lessons just pin point just the things I was looking for. Top quality content! Thank you.

Thank you very much, i was able to use this tutorial to design a hanging container for my ikea Skadis peg board. 👍👍

Thank you for such a good lessons🙏🏻

This is amazing! Thanks so much!

Thank you so much!! It feels like a paid course due to the content so far. Highly appreciated.

Awesome tutorials and the fact that you keep them updated is a huge bonus!

I am 4 days in and its the best tutorial I have found. Thank you very much!!🙌🙌👊

Bro, this series is amazing. Thank you thank you thank you

Great job on this! Easy to follow

Thanks , needed some up to date videos

Thank you very much. Only the fourth lesson and already doing wonderful things.

Things are looking up. Great show coach:)

I use solidworks professionally, and let me tell you: Fusion is the future.

Thank you so much for this!

I like the way you cover all the options and explain them for any tool we use. Most courses just grab the tool and use it for the one purpose without explaining the rest of the options.

Thank You So Much

really great explanation, with a sequence of learning from basic until advance, systematic teeaching

OMG......The square-ish bottle in green.....even more amazing than the last bottle!! The thread facility blew me away! Thanks Kevin, ANOTHER awesome tutorial!

Been wondering how to connect planes like this! Tried finding a tutorial but didn't know what to search for so have been working around this issue in so many ways it isn't even funny. Thanks for this series and introducing this veryvery usefull feature!

Well was sailing along you newer videos and then this one got me. Back to 00:00 and see what I missed and what I should have picked up on the first time. BTW it is not the video at fault I know I wasn't paying attention somewhere along the timeline. Thanks for the great videos.

I've done 4 videos in 4 days and I'm so glad I've started this. I'm a total noob, Mum of 4, bit crap at IT stuff but even I am learning fusion 360. I work remotely and don't have anyone to show me so this has been a life saver!

Cool 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you sir

Amazing work. Been following for day 4 and already finished modelled my desired prototype.but I will keep going until finish all the remaining days, so much input. But i do recommend other beginnners to watch autodesk tutorial first to grasp the concept of how fusion 360 works and come here again learning from day 1. This is because you need to understand some terms such as bodies and component and how they works. But autodesk tutorial is quite limited, here is very detailed and easy to follow and master.

Thanks!

As a trained, lapsed draftsman, this has bought me back. Well done.

Best tutorial series I’ve ever sat through - very clear, well explained without labouring or patronising over a particular point. Bravo!

Just started this series have never used fusion 360 before only mastercam at work. Very interesting and love the way you explain and do everything!!

Right to the meat and tatoes. Nice video series. Been watching from start video today. Boss level.

super duper!

struggling with location of some less used commands, best thing is I can repeat the video and build my memory.. Really good job, I am cramming it into my brain now. D

Excellent series thanks Kevin. Just one point I'm stuck on regardless of several attempts ( after numerous undos over 2 hours now) is I keep getting the error 'Selected rails do not touch all of the profiles' when trying to implement the rails. I did understand prior to the error the importance of using the Intersect command and ensuring to realign the top handle of the spline with the straight line above which I did on my various attempts to redo that stage, and each seems to execute OK again but with only one difference I can detect to yours at the 11 minute mark - When you 'Straighten' the top handle of the spline, the purple spline dots disappear but on mine they still remain shown even after I have committed them by 'Entering' or hitting the green tick (also causing the corresponding Fit Point Spline box on the Sketch toolbar to deactivate) making me think the action has been successful. I have then straightened the top spline handle on each attempt but still get the same error later intstalling the rails. Could the purple spline dots remaining indicate what I'm doing wrong ? Regards. UPDATE: Now Fixed! Today I deleted and restarted Day 4 again and think I discovered what I was doing wrong. It turns out after reading my notes (Currently 17 pages due to me being a beginner with a bad memory ) I had been using ESC to exit after adjusting the Spline handles. I couldn't tell how Kevin was committing his adjustments as we cant see his keystrokes - only the position of his cursor but think I had previously tried clicking outside the model on the workspace (if that's what it's called) to try to get the purple dots black like his without success (also tried Return) but this time doing so with a second click in the workspace worked and they turned black. Seems I had not been successfully completing the handle adjustments leaving a broken line instead of a contiguous one. Perhaps in future tutorials he could add keystrokes and an indication of a 'Click' being activated ? Thanks again for the videos Kevin. They are much appreciated by absolute beginners like myself.

Wow, I've been using Fusion 360 for over three years, and stumbled upon your Day 20 when looking for something. Watching just that one episode, I learned how to ease several burdens I'd struggled with over time, so I've started over on your course - bsck to Day 1. Some profound game-changers like rectangular patterns versus Copy/Paste; Join instead of Move and so on and so on. Thank you, thank you for this; it's already changed the way I do things. One note, though, that differs from your version to mine. Though mine is up to date and I presume yours is (I don't think we have a choice) : Once I choose Line tool or Dimension tool (via L or D or the icons) in a sketch, that mode will stick until Escape, but other things, such as Circle, Fillet and so on, do not. I have _not_ reset to default settings since there are some things I've used for the past years that I don't want changed. But do you know what setting might cause that to vary from your system to mine? Thanks again!

Thanks

Day 4 = done!

Day 4 complete ✅

Thank you for sharing this amazing course. I teach applied tech to seniors and I have been struggling to find a good Fusion course where I could learn the program and be comfortable with it enough to teach it. This is the fourth course I've taken to learn the program and it is the first time that I could say I now have the tools to create and design independently of the tutorial.

.75 speed, Having fun so far! Thanks

my only frustration with fusion so far is its so finiky. i can do the exact same things but i have different results. only to have to go back and figure out what it didnt like. now its nice having these tutorials... i can jump around and follow along with multiple monitors

Great tutorial. Was hoping you would include a cap...

Question: is sketching out the offset planes first and proceeding with the rest afterwards ok?

Paperclip is done, let's make a complex bottle shape!!

Tight.

So how do you go back and select the curve the fillet did to resize it? I didn’t know you were selecting them all at once, I did each corner individually and at the last corner did you mention what size the radius would be. So I can click the corner but even with measuring tab I can’t retell the program what size I want to change them to

Is it just me that's been googling how to make a whiskey bottle cap haha. Thanks for the videos. My Whiskey bottle looks amazing.

I tried creating a concave bottom for this bottle by creating an offset of the base sketch and lofting to a point 5mm above the origin and ran into issues with adding the shell afterwards, it seems the geometry is too complex maybe?

Thank you so much for removing the Beer Bottle and Whiskey Bottle from the Lessons!!!! It made it really hard to share with my high school students :)

At 11:57 to 11:60 , It is showing rail is not smith , try making rail tangent continuous , what do I do

When I try to fillet the bottom like you did at 12:46 nothing happens and on the timeline the fillet icon is red. When I try to click “review warning” nothing happens as well. What’s going on? My timeline also matches your exactly up until the fillet.

Bro I wait so long for these videos because most videos aren’t up to date.

When I go to fillet the base of the model, it won't do what yours does. It only seems to want to apply to the bottom face and not the base of the sides of the bottle. I tried adjusting the spline but it made no difference. EDIT: I made the very bottom spline completely vertical and that fixed the issue.

How could I design the bottle cap ?

Excellent series. As a retired technical educator, I appreciate several of your techniques, particularly your listing of 'objectives' at the beginning. I did have one anomaly after creating the mirror of the rails and lofting the bottle.... the right side had a concave curve that was not present in the rail lines. Any idea why?

i just did the old day 4, no wonder the UI was different

Be aware when using loft to check the sides of the bottle and not one of the rectunguiler

I need to know how to go from 3D model to sketch when constructing the guide rails, please.

the first problem I had is with the time line (bottom left). On your Tuto, you just clic on the part you want to twerk but when I try it doesn't show / allow the same. ex: on 14:10, when you have to modified the bottle shape, you just clic on the sketch (in the time line) then you was able to twerk the shape easily ... it wasn't my case . I was unable to twerk as you did

ive followed all the steps till the mirror command and once i got there im not able to select the objects or mirror line

When I try to add the threads, it gives an error message saying "the operation would cause a large topology change. Try adusting the values or changing the input geometry." I input all the same dimensions for the bottle as you, and even if I adjust the value it still won't let me sweep. Any insight?

When I tried to do my fillet on the bottom of the bottle, the arrow kept pointing downward and it wouldn't let me do the fillet. How do I flip that arrow to go up?

When I select the second line for rail 2 during the loft step it goes blank and comes up with a warning that selection of the second line "doesn't make meaningful changes to geometry" Any tips? I checked to make sure the spline and line are connected and the spline is snapped to the straight line.

ı apprıciate your work. ı need help with someting. when ı press the shell commend, fucion 360 gives a error and needed to be started again. can somebody tell me why this is heppening ?

Rails and lines splines are showing even after completing the drawing , how ro solve it

the shell command is not working bro, just showing errors all the time. Suggest something more what should i do to make it work

Regarding the spline and the line, I cannot get them to connect as a rail. Even if I lock the spline angle on top of the line, as mentioned in the video, the rails are unconnected. Any ideas?

If NileRed did CAD instead of chemistry

At 9.55 when i click ok to intersect i inly get one purple point, its on the bottom layer. What am i doing wrong?

In the first 4 episodes. I am able to make a simple mystery box

I completed the drawing and then tried to change the appearance using smooth glass and dragged the color I wanted over to the bottle like I did for the day 2 glass bottle but nothing happened. Any idea why?

Following a long and really like the pace and delivery on these videos--wouldn't really change a thing! The issue I am having in this lesson is when I attempt to fillet the rectangle on the bottom X/Y axis, the fillet arrow is facing the wrong direction. Fusion is only showing one body and when I disable, the bottle disappears in its entirety. What am I doing wrong?

👍✌🖖🥃

at 11:00 he does some key stroke that makes the spline handles disappear. Anyone know what? esc? enter? tab? I tried them all. I have had this issue with other commands. I'm missing something.

Hi im having a problem with intersection tool. im not making a bottle but different shapes. i select intersection tool and when i select objects to inter sect red dot does not appear. when i hover the cursor on object it says select object to inter sect but red dot does not appear and i dont get intersecion tool to work. What might be wrong?

No matter what I did, i couldnt select the sketch of the side of the bottle with the Mirror command. Have had this issue before.

You are the true teacher thankyou sir Love from India ❤️

Won't you close the bottle? Where is the cap of the bottle?😁😁

Anyone else have intersect not working like he describes in the video? maybe i'm doing something wrong.

I have not been able to get the red dot or the center line to light up. Thank you for your time, maybe my computer is to old.

Mine doesn’t come up with all the purple circles when using the intersect tool- I tried multiple times and only one purple circle shows on the bottom line

stuck on this

Very good instruction but because you have all of the data ahead of time and move from one option (tool) to another at times it is not clear why this is being done. I know you try. I als obelieve you have a paid course, do you make these same jumps from one tool to another without fully explaining why in that course. Not complaining just trying to determine if it is worth me paying for your course or it will be more of the same. What is the key difference between your paid and free youtube course?

Your videos are very helpful but I have one pet peeve. You often do things without describing exactly what you're doing. Like at 15:37 suddenly the guide rails disappear. You obviously clicked on something but you don't say what it was. For someone like me, who knows nothing about Fusion 360, it's sometimes difficult to figure out what you did. Sometimes it's so subtle I don't notice it until the drawing I'm creating to follow along with doesn't do what it's supposed to. Often during the process of figuring it out I screw up the drawing and have to start over again. I'm sure for you it's obvious what you did, but NONE of this is obvious for me. BTW, I figured that one out. Otherwise, I LOVE your videos.

Amazing tutorials
