Best of luck Michael! I will be rooting for you :-)

Thank you so much! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!!

Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Have an awesome day!

That is awesome to hear Troy Cherry .Thank you for watching the videos

Thank you so much! I couldn't work out why my rectangle wasn't snapping to the corner of the other side panel

Thanks for pointing out this configuration parameter!

I want to add to this comment because my preferences defaulted to 'Auto project edges on reference' being checked. Super. Still didn't define that left panel rectangle sketch. For me the last piece of the puzzle was in the 'Sketch Palette' window. ***Uncheck the box "3D Sketch"***. I think it has to do with being square to the sketch plane. I could never figure out why Lars's views went normal to the selected plane, but my view did not, when I selected the plane to sketch on. 3D sketch was checked by default for me and it messed me up a bit.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much Nick! Have a great day!

Thank you and Merry Christmas to you too

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! Really appreciate the feedback! Have an awesome day!

Hi Jonas Jensen Thank you for watching! Yes, My limited knowledge about wood working :-) Best, Lars

Thank you so much, Peter! Sorry about the snow!! I have used the snowblower once this season here in Buffalo :-)

Thank you for watching! "False Front...ahhhh awesome :-)...I just made the names up...Had no idea. I'll have to come to your house and take a class!!

Lars Christensen I'm in the middle of building custom office furniture for my home. Two sit stand desks with maple tops. Two steel and maple credenza's (I welded in my garage) with file drawers and a center cabinet with drawers. All finished with aniline dye and hand rubbed tung oil. You can probably guess it's for my wife and I.I used fusion 360 to mock up the credenza's. Yours and others tutorials proved to be very helpful. Thanks.

Dude, that is awesome. I need to convince the wife that I need a welder in my garage :-)

For furniture, I would recommend a small flux core wire feed welder. Here is a picture of one I'm using to build the credenza stands: goo.gl/photos/nUw3Y19pbQ9HktMt9 (I know, messy garage). I also used it to make a dressing table for my wife out of alder and metal with an alder led lighted dressing mirror ( Video here: goo.gl/photos/bD3GsCyijhtoiX348 ). I did a lot of welding when I owned a body shop and this one from amazon is a good one for hobbyists: amzn.to/2kRpHTl and it's only about a hundred bucks. If I had learned Fusion 360 earlier, it would have been a lot easier to do so thanks again for the tutorials. The credenza's were done in Fusion 360 and I showed it to my wife first. I also built a 3d printer and used fusion 360 to model the feet for the dressing table and printed them out on my 3d printer using black petg filament. You can probably tell that even though I'm still learning Fusion 360, I am loving it already.

Thank you Simon! I'll be rooting for you!!

That is awesome to hear Edward Schroeder .Thank you for watching the videos

Glad you got it solved :-)

Thank you Guga M. Leao

Thank you for taking the time to watch the videos. Take a look at this webinar and let me know what you think: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jKuld5Zix9-0qJ8.html Best, Lars

My Bad.... I stopped watching the other day when I noticed the vice and thought this is geared towards metal side...Thanks again and keep up the great work you are doing :)

Thank you for taking the time to watch the videos!! Parameters would be the answer to your first question in regards the thickness(in the Modify drop-down) I am not sure if there are any disadvantages to offset instead of drawing a rectangle. Yes, there are many ways to model the same part :-) Heck, I'm sure I would not model a part the same on two given days. I hope you have an awesome day!

Hi Phani Kumar Thank you for watching! Great ideas! I will make sure I put them on the list. Have an awesome day! Best, Lars

Thank you Daniel. Have an awesome day!!

Hi John, Thank you for watching! When you free subscription nears it's end, you will receive an email asking you to re-subscribe/renew. Your data will not be lost if you lapse your renewal. I am not sure if there is an actual time limit for the cloud life. I would imagine that there is a possibility that if you don't touch your data and 2040 comes around the corner it could get purged...by the alians at the time :-)

Thank you, Jason! Have a great day!

Awesome to hear. Thank you for watching 👍😊

In a perfect world it would all be the same. It's caused more problems for me than anything else. If I forget to tick one of the numerous boxes in the software I use. I would be just fine doing everything metric. Yet I continuously have to select one or the other. Nuts.

Thank you Gary Edgerton If you want to go a little deeper on the joint subject, this might be helpful. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbd-mqyXz7PWaGg.html Best, Lars

Michael Oosthuizen Yes, you are totally right. I did not realize that when I made the recording. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Thank you John :-)

Hi Bill, would love to help. Can you share a little more information? Best, Lars

Thank you Joe Smith

Yes, Thank you, Gary. Funny mistake lol Thank you for taking the time to watch the videos!!! Have a great weekend!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch! Go and click your name in the upper right and select preferences. Then, click Preview in the left dialog box and check the first item "Sketch- color sketch geometry based on constraint status." I did not realize that was made the difference on the line color when recording the video :-)

Thank you! Thumps up Skube, yes- mirror would be perfect. Was just trying to repeat some of the commands, as I believe repetition is key to all learning. But, mirror would be the "right" tool for the CAD Jocky :-).

or Option Button sounds better

That is awesome to hear Rodrigo Maggi .Thank you for watching the videos. Coffee is the fuel of champions :-)

Thank you!...You know...Yes. I absolutely think you could :-). Nice thinking!!

Great to hear! Thank you for watching

Hi Paul, Thank you so much for taking the time to watch! Would you do me a favor? Restart your machine, fire up Fusion 360, and then try to following along the video. Just for the first few steps and tell me what is exactly different? I'm just asking this because I want to help(Not to waste your time) The first couple of steps when turning on the origin should be pretty standard for everyone and I just want to make sure you are not working with a broken version. Let me know, Best, Lars

Alex, it most definitely counts....cheers my friend :-)

Hey Lars, just working on the drawer knob now!

Hi faiyaz khan Thank you for watching! Do you want all the internal components?

but shutters in the socket should be there to simulate it. and if it is possible and quick to make with internal components.I would like to learn that too.

Lars, this bit me too. Maybe you could add a text comment in the video or insert a quick sidebar? Thanks for the videos, they are very good!

That is awesome to hear Nikita Sh .Thank you for watching the videos

Sorry, there is not :-(

That is awesome to hear BookofIsaiah (Matt B) .Thank you for watching the videos

Hi Kasper, my only reason was that I thought it might be a little too advanced for this series. I am planning on creating a video on parameters in the near future for sure, because as you already have figured out, it would be a better design :-) Thank you for taking the time to watch! Best, Lars

Yes, at the bottom of the Modify drop-down you will see "Change Parameters" here you could control all that.

That is awesome to hear Igor Tomljanovic .Thank you for watching the videos

I have this exact same issue. Something has obviously changed between version of Fusion 360. I believe the main issue is that when snapping to the point of the other component, we are not really snapping to a point of that component but rather snapping to the grid, which is on the same plane we are currently sketching on, which would of course mean that the sketch will just float in space, hence not going black. I have tried googling about if there is any setting for this, but I have not found anything. For now I have simply created the constraints, e.g. in this particular video using the colinear constraint, on all the panels, since I don't get them automatically.

Hi cmikk Thank you for watching! Honestly, I am not totally sure. Can you drag any of the corners with your mouse? Different constraints can be used for the same result. If your sketch is constrained, I would not worry about it. best, Lars

I got caught by the same thing when following your beginner's video. Would be nice to mention it in one of your other videos and/or in the sub-text of that video. Luckily, I "found" the anwser quite quickly when Googling the forums, though... So it was not too much of a showstopper.

Good point! Yes, I would say that would be a good decision :-)

Not sure exactly what is going on there, Jacob. You are welcome to invite me to your project and I can try to take a look as soon as possible, just send a follow up email as I loose track of invites vs KZfaq comments :-) lars.christensen@autodesk.com

Hi skube Thank you for watching! I will have to look into that. Could be something in the way the software brakes up geometry selections. I don't know much about coding and all that fancy stuff :-)

I think it is because it was the face you referenced from. Appreciate these videos by the way, I actually feel like I have a shot at becoming proficient enough to model my projects before I go into the shop and waste material trying to figure them out!

Thank you 👍😊

If you go to Preferences > General > 'Pan, Zoom, Orbit shortucts' and select Tinkercad you'll be able to Orbit using ctrl + mouse.

Thamks, since I wrote this I have become more proficient with this software

Light bulbs were changed into eyes.

Thank you for watching! That is not a bad idea. I’ll have to look into doing something like.

@@cadcamstuff Thank you.

Hi kratt309 Thank you for watching! Are you using the MAc mouse? without the middle mouse button? Most people I know, go and buy a standard windows mouse so they have the middle mouse button

Hi diederrr Thank you for watching! Down at the bottom of the screen there is an icon that looks like a grid. You can turn it off there. Best, Lars

Look at the bottom of the menu on the right. Is it trying to cut vs join?

Hi Jack, I think I am going back to repeat my previous response... Hope we get this figured out. You would not be the first person who re-tried and then things seems to work :-)

That video is getting old😊Yes, throw some Constraints on that thing

@@cadcamstuff I could not get constraints to work for left to right side corners, so I just changed it all to use defined parameters. Thanks for a great series of videos!

Hi Jack, Not sure exactly what is happening. My first suggestion would be to try to create something different following the same steps and see if you still have the same issue. It sounds like something graphic what of course could be both hardware and software related. Start there...

I start as soon as I feel like it. Usually about whenever it sounds good.

Hi Mark Godfrey Thank you for watching! If you right-click the body in the tree to the left, select remove instead of delete. Delete will try to heal

Hi Sam Morris Thank you for watching! You also have an option in the Press/Pull menu to select and un-select what components, check that out. Best, Lars

Make sure you are looking directly at the part. Also, try to right-click the view cube in the upper right corner and make sure you are not in perspective mode. That can screw up selecting stuff. I will say, that if you project and edge and that make you move on...do that :-)

Hi Paul, You should be able to just double clicking the dimension, and it should make you edit it.

Hi Lars, Trying a few things out today I think I am making some very basics mistakes or assumptions as a very new user of Fusion 360. I assumed that if I sketched a rectangle and pulled it out to a cube, then sketched another rectangle to cube on top that I could alter the dimensions of the first cube. It seems to me now that you can't alter the first cube as the second one is related to it. Also it seems that if you go back in the time line to the place you sketched the first cube, that you then lose all the other items in the time line. Is there any way you can alter dimensions back in the timeline but keep the rest of the structure you made? I love watching your videos an they are inspiring me even though getting started is daunting. I thought learning Photoshop twenty years ago was tricky but Fusion is far more complicated it seems. All the best, Paul

Spent another hour experimenting on this and watched another video about timeline and now have managed to go back to earlier stages and edit dimensions but it feels more like luck than judgement! Any chance a video on just this topic on going back in timeline and changing dimensions? Paul

Hi Nick, Thank you for taking the time to watch the video. You are absolutely right, strictly did it for demonstrating the projecting command (repetition is the key of learning). I used the mirror command in this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fr6CgN17vNWUXYU.html Have an awesome day!

Uh-huh. Figured I'd find this already addressed, although -- I was going to phrase it as: couldn't you have done a copy-paste operation of some sort to create back from front and left from right - but that comes from how I would have approached it with SU (pardon my french). I will say that I came with the presupposition that your answer would be just exactly what it was, so I'm half-heartedly patting myself on the back (while the other half leans toward: Self: that was a STUPID question). Bottom line: thanks for YET ANOTHER FINE TUTORIAL!

Thank you, Jay! You should pat yourself on the back for sure :-)

I'm thinking my wife might disagree - regarding who's administering, exactly where, and more importantly, how hard!

Sure, You can totally do that. Yes, originally from Denmark, now living in the US

Hi Mark Graves Thank you for watching! Go up and right-click the view cube in the upper right corner and select Perspective with Ortho. That should do it. Best, Lars

That did the trick! Thank Lars.

Ok, from what I can see it comes into play in the 2nd video when making the small push/pulls. If you don't disable the other components before making them you get a small hole between the 2 components. Which is probably why he's trying to have us just make it a habit in this video as a prep for future use cases.

Hi Chris Lam Thank you for watching! Yes, but also os you know. You get an option in the press/pull menu to turn on what components you want it to involve. Best, Lars

Hi Robert, The Color constraint is still in "Preview" I have seen a couple of examples of the same. Sure development are working hard on releasing this :-)

Thanks! I appreciate the follow through.

Hi Mike, honestly I did not think Fusion had a setting that would let you fully define with our dimension the rectangle....Can you try to restart Fusion and see if it repeats?

Have restarted and run in both Apple and Windows operating system. Same result.

Dude, You got me :-)...I have asked Bryce and Aaron who does the Fusion updates videos. Those guys are incredibly smart..I will keep you posted

So sorry for causing some trouble. Found the issue. I use a Macpro without a mouse. When I sketch i would hit the enter key to complete the sketch which resulted in a defined sketch. However when I tap the trackpad to complete the sketch then it is not defined and allows to be defined as required. Again sorry if I caused any angst!!!
