Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing well - let me know if you have any questions, or a Fusion 360 topic you'd like me to cover in the comments down below! :)
Hi, I really like your videos. I'm just starting to use Fusion.360 and I need to draw a desk with drawers and ends with curved open shelves along with wall units to echo the space. What is the best way to break it down?
Hi Justin. When I was sketching my first shelf, my cursor was not referencing the exact edges, so it was like I was hivering over the edges as best as I could but it wasn't accurate. Do you have any suggestions to make it 100% accurate?
Justin, you are a saint among men! I'm just getting started in woodworking, but have been making CAD drawings of project ideas for years. I've been using Sketchup, but was looking for something else since Sketchup is no longer free unless you use the 2017 version. When I moved over to Fusion, boy was I shocked at how much harder it was to use, and it turned me off. I finally decided to commit to learning it, and after watching a few videos, I came across your channel, and it has been a lifesaver! I've followed along your video tutorials and think I understand enough of how Fusion works to start designing my own furniture. I couldn't have done it without your help, and greatly appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. Keep up the great work!
This was such an excellent tutorial. Enough detail and ideas to help folks model, yet not so overwhelming. The pace was fantastic. Earned an instant subscribe. Thank you for taking the time to make this content.
Hi Justin thank you so much for these videos, I’m brand new to fusion and loving these tutorials, I am an engineer and looking to become a self taught draughtsman as I would like to study during my downtime. Your videos are clear, concise, and move quickly enough to keep the work flowing. I really appreciate you sharing this knowledge. Thank you again
How easy is it to change lets say width of the cabinet and have it stay correct? It looks like hobbling together blocks without any relations. Most of the dimensions are written by hand, meaning if you change one thing you have to go into every block and manually change that as well. Like at 14:53 - you have 1.5inch 3 different times in the same sketch. You can't add equal relations to that? In solidworks i can make the same thing, but all related to each other, so if i change width/height/depth everything resizes to the correct values.
I've been following along from the beginning of the series and I do have some questions: 1. How to do I get these designs to be cut out on a CNC router? 2. Is there a way to add hinges to this door where I can open and close that door? 3. How do I resize the entire cabinet in case the plans change? 4. How do I "unlink" copied or mirrored components? I'd like to make a copy of something then make modifications to it without it effecting it's mirrored/copied component. Thank you for putting these out. They are very helpful Bryan
Bro, those are all tutorials on their own, just keep learning. Search for all those subjects, no one person is going to give you all that info for free, but little by little you'll get it, they all give you pieces, it's up to you to put them together for your specific needs.
Great video as always . Just wonder how you sketched out. the shelf in rebates , I can't seem to get my tool to snap to the edges of the rebate on both sides ?
Good tutorial at first sight for early beginners But Midplane, extrude with absolute numbers instead of extruder to object, why don't draw directly rectangle and so on same small, but important misusing And finally - why you don't use user variables?
Hmmm, this looks more complicated and tedious than sketchup. There, moving and copying is pressing M and then CTRL, then move the target where you want. Then flip it and done. Please don't understand me wrong, i watched your sketchup tuts for a long time now and also subbed. You are a great teacher for software and maybe other things too. But me, being now in a position to choose which one i should buy, at this first tutorial regarding cabinets i'm almost disapointed about the way Fusion works. Questions: 1. Ain't possible in Fusion to draw directly a rectangle? Is the only way just drawing two lines then using rectangle? 2. What help brings sketches in Fusion, instead of doing it quickly like in sk-up (drawing rectangles and extruding quickly where you need it (even without the need to type the measure)? Then, other things that i see slowing down the process is going on so many places on the screen to choose so many options (new object -> to component) / then going up and choose other things... etc. I'm sure there are shorcuts for this, but here you present this for noobs like me and showing exactly where to go, but still, i feel by just watching this clip that this process is way "harder" to do in Fusion than in Sketchup. It's my opinion regarding the creation part. I don't know what Fusion offers after this part regardin calculating material costs, waste, consumption on the boards, showing dimensions, breaking apart objects with numbered parts etc, with or without the help of extensions (free or paid). I just made 4 cabinets in sketchup for what i need in my home, but having health issues and also other home bad events i passed by the chance of finishing them in the trial period. As i also love 3D since 2000, when i worked a lot in 3D Max, i would love to try that again with smaller software like Sketchup or Fusion for small projects like furniture for now, and maybe starting to build houses again and maybe neigbour areas... eh, that;s a dream. Let's stay real for the furniture part ;-). Love your work and will still watch you in the future even if i don't work in the programs you use, just because always there is something new to learn from different perspective and even different things that i don't do. Cheers and be well!
I don't know if tedious is quite the right word, but there are definitely some situations where adding objects or making simple changes is a little more difficult than it would be in SketchUp. The tradeoff is that everything is linked and "smart" - meaning you can go back and change a sketch and the model will change as well. There's a lot more data in the models, which in a lot of situations is a really great thing
I'm sorry for the wrong word, but not being native english speaker it may be my fault. I'm sure you know about what you are reffering to, but for someone like me who doesn't do this for living, just making improvements in his home and sometimes maybe for friends (which i'm doubting, but let's say i help one or two at some... far away point 😁) is it better to buy sketchup which i already learned and maybe using it in conjunction with blender (if i will be able to get back to) or start the fusion 360 trial and see after that? I also am in need to make those 4 cabinets because i have a lot of problems happening in my hosue and life right now. I also have lot of health issues and adhd, combined makes me not so patient regarding simple operations that other ways will be longer to do. I can give an example for that. I'm a graphic designer and working in advertising since 2003, in production too. I work in PS, IL, IN and also Corel Draw. Can you believe that in my country and also for what clients i had, Corel Draw made me life more easier? Making a comparison to what i said about Sketchup and Fusion, here i work much faster in Corel vs IL because of the way is made (menu's, pages...) even regarding colors might no be as reliable as IL, for my needs it always was (even using pantone codes and others in my work). But the most important thing that Corel have vs IL is... Imposing built in. That's my win situation for choosing something that i suppose 90% of bigger graphic designers and companies will _"hate"_ me. But, you as a creator of any kind, you should use things that work best for you, not for others. I had a lot of materials sent by big graphic designers paid with a lot of money and i had to work for hours or even a full day to repair the mistakes they made because they are not good at all details as i need for finished work, meaning printing & production. Eh... that's another story. Ikn i talk too much, but that's me. When i'm interested in something, i'm devoted. I learned IL & IN in 1 month and a half, doing a big project, a book. And then i felt so much the need for Corel, but i couldn't use it except for jpgs exported for IL. In rest i needed to use IL for compatibility... That's why i'm asking here which one you think will work for me in my small hobby for doing things. Maybe in the future for 3D printing too. Again, I hope you didn't get this message as an agressive one, it might be my adhd or ocd or w/e it is, when i see things that i do that need more time to do, i'm almost breaking my mood to do that project because my thoughts come and go in a split second and i loose my inspiration. That's why i can do so many things in Corel without wasting time. Don't get me wrong, i hate so many things in Corel that the maker never addressed it and some functionality are available only from third party extensions and also ones that they removed from later versions... Nobody is perfect, but we need the right tools for us. Ok, I'm stopping this comment because it's too long. If you won't respond it's no problem. I already thank you for your first response and i'll watch you as always with the same passion for your good teacher skills. Cheers and be well! @@TheFusionEssentials
When you put the first dado in the first side with the extrude tool instead of using a measurement can you inference off the front face if the back? Sketchup would work that way, cant imagine f360 wouldnt.
Hi' justin i'm using sketchup for my work wood working still not much fully in sketch up my qoution wich will be better for woodworking fusion or sketchup? wich one easir for desiging? thank you
18:35 I believe woodworkers call that recess a rabbet. Not sure if they pull them out of hats or not, but I do know they usually cut them them with table saws or routers.
I find your component labeling confusing. I think side, back, front, shelf makes far more sense as name than “(material) dimension” i have to rewatch to figure out what it is when it could just be named properly.
какая же клоунада. указывать размеры в инчах, фунтах , и прочем подобном дерьме. вы там вообще слышали про то, что во всем нормальном мире используют метрическую систему - систему интернациональную. бедолага, как мне тебя жаль.
