Dude I really appreciate your explanations. You’re the 5th person I’ve watched because the other 4 left out details on their commands. Your tutorials are by far the most comprehensive I’ve come across. I sincerely thank you for the knowledge.🙏
Thanks, Ari! I'm now revising this whole series per the updated UI. You can find the first few lessons (and eventually all of them), here: bit.ly/30daysUpdated
This has been an awesome set of videos so far. Love it. The only difficulty is that my version of Fusion 360's interface is so much different that what was used in the video. I have been able to muddle my way through successfully. To change the appearance to glass-bronze was not available for me on the right click in the canvas. ELSE... spot on videos. He is clear and concise. Easy to understand. Thank you!!
I had the same issue just now, I found that I was able to complete this command by a few ways as this was a feature I had never played with. You can enable the Appearances menu with the keyboard shortcut (A), additionally you can right click the bottle in the browser and select Appearances, as well as find it under the Modify menu. Other than this one thing I had to look around for, this has been an informative series thus far.
Just completed it and never used the letter D as not there as an option. Anyway it was fantastic. Once again Daniel top marks. The way you explain things is just perfect. So clear and precise. Im already feeling so confident in this program. 10/10
THANK YOU FOR REVISING THIS. I am brand to new to Fusion and was really struggling with a lot of the steps you performed on the previous video, it was ran through very quickly and steps made the were not explained. Appreciate you listening to your followers and re-doing this tutorial, this one is much more easy to follow for me. You're the man, thank you!
Just finished day 2. I really think I would be lost without this tutorial. Have to figure out where things are in the new interface every now and then, but so far it is working. Thank you so much for making this series.
I'm a complete beginner with no prior exposure to the design/engineering world so It took me several tries but I made it through. I downloaded the personal use version on 1/6/21 and I guess the latest version UI is quite different from what you used when making the video. So I spent a lot of time searching to find things or looking for equivalent steps. Also when I adjusted the bottle top to 9mm it put the bottle off center so the final hole cut procedure was off. I went back and removed the 9mm and left it at original dimension and that fixed it and I was able to finish the exercise.
Just finished day 2, one note: right clicking on the canvas didn't gave me the appearance option but had to use the modify dropdown menu to select it. But another excellent episode.
I teach jr/sr high school shop. My Jr high students and I are learning Fusion 360 together using your 30 day series. I am on a desktop, but students are on Chromebooks. The steps for getting the "root" beer bottle onto the Canvas was a bit different, but we figured it out. We 3D print and have an AVID Pro CNC router. We also use VCarve Pro.

Just completed Day 2, The changes in the UI are useful in a way, makes you search out and try and make it work! It's tempting to go back and use the old UI, but i'm forcing myself to keep going with the new one. Thanks for your tutorials 👍

Hi, Thanks for your awesome tutorials. I am learning Fusion 360 only with your tutorials. I personally thought that learning 3D modelling is quite difficult and impossible to me. I started your 30 day tutorial yesterday and I learned a lot. Your simplified method helps.
Despite the different toolbars, commands being in a different place, etc., I could still do this exercise in the newer version of Fusion. Using points for splines is an excellent idea (I'm coming from a 2D graphic design background). He goes a little fast for me, but I'm old. ;-) Loving this whole series so far and so grateful that it exists!
Some of these videos are more than 2 years old, but they are exactly what I've been needing to learn Fusion 360. I've never been able to understand any other tutorials, but yours is working. 3 days in (out of order) but here's to 27 more!
Nice,us students do appreciate a little slower approach as we are struggling with following along such a complex program. I do appreciate how through these lessons are. Thank you
Whew made it. As I'm using the newest F360 and toolbar has changed, I learned from Lars Christensen that if you go to Preferences->General, check Use Old Toolbar and that makes it easier to follow your tutorial. Also, I kept trying to get the extrude+cut on the top of the bottle to work but couldn't so I really had to pay attention to your instructions and the I believe that the difference was the horizontal constraint may be what made it work...finally. Well...on to Day 3 :-) And thanks for these videos.
Hi, Ken. I just released the tutorial today that covers all these new critical changes. You can watch that video here - th-cam.com/video/tuZzHcmFtg4/w-d-xo.html That video should help bridge the gap between the NEW UI and the OLD UI, which will be very helpful as you work through the series. Please don't hesitate to comment questions on the tutorials as you work through the remainder of the series. Cheers, Kevin :)
Thank you for you lessons, I thought I was pretty good at figuring everything out coming from Solidworks and Onshape, but found that it isn't that easy. The concepts are very different and you're making this a breeze for me to get used to. Thanks again!!! :-)
Unbelievably powerful program and very well explained. I learned a lot in 30 minutes. I can't wait to see the next lesson. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge.
Made it all the way to the finish line! Good thing I can always 'rewind' and look at certain parts again whenever something didn't work like your did. The days of sitting in a classroom and asking the tutor to repeat something are coming to an end, haha! This is brilliant stuff, Kevin. I've got quite a bit of experience using 3ds Max. However, this seems to be a complete different game with measurements being way more crucial for these product designs. I'll be going through this entire playlist and then some! Thanks again!
Hi, Kaj. Glad to see you're making progress. You are certainly correct, Fusion 360s parametric nature is a much different approach than 3Ds Max. However, that would be valuable to be skilled in both. Keep at it! Cheers, Kevin :)
Very helpful videos. I am just getting started, and there are many stops and starts as the interface is slightly different, but these are so helpful. Thank you for posting them.
Did the bottle. That's two in one day. Getting a lot better at navigating through the program. It's to the point when I did have little issues I was still able to complete the model. For instance, right click canvas to bring up appearance. Wasn't working for me. But I did find it quickly in the drop down Modify box.
Finished. Had some issues so i started over and it went perfect. Printing this out now on my Ender 3 with sharpie colorizer and 3 brown sharpies in vase mode.
Another great video. One thing I noticed though, Real Beer bottles have a bit of a recess on the bottom, so that only the circumference of the bottle is touching the surface (table, bar, whatever). I added this to my model by going back to the original sketch and using the spline tool there to modify the shape a bit. Thanks for all these videos. They are super helpful as I learn Fusion!
Some fantastic tutorials and really enjoying the working through them. There's some difficulties in finding some things within the new UI but apart from that, you've explained things very clearly. Many thanks!
Great video. The one place I got stuck was on creating a hole in the top of the beer bottle. I wasn't given the option to select the top of the beer bottle for drawing the circle for some reason. The only place I could draw was on the axes.
I had to redo this as well. If you trace the top of the bottle too accurately, it will have a rounded top surface that can not be extruded. Make the top of the bottle as flat as possible so you can extrude your hole. That just sounds wrong...
@@Angrygreek00 @Chris Natale, top of my bottle was flat as a pancake. Still can't hollow it out from that face. EDIT: scratch that, adjusted the shell width to be thinner and it worked.
Thanks, Anders. Most all of the online courses I've previewed do not teach F360 best practices... and often the instructors do not take the time to practice teaching. Anyway, don't hesitate to reach out if you run into any roadblocks.
This was extremely helpful. Thanks for obviously having taken the time to plan out what you're going to do in advance (I haven't seen your original videos, so not referring to them, but to others' 360 tutorial videos) and speaking clearly and not too quickly but also not wasting any time. Perfect.
Thanks, sovietnyc. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed this tutorial. Please don't hesitate to comment on any of my videos should you have any questions. Cheers, Kevin :)
Thanks for the Tutorials! I learned Pro Engineer 4.0 in school (a long time ago now) and most things transfer over but there are some new features and details with the newer software. Its nice to be able to go over the basics again and make sure I'm not missing anything. I am going to go through the entire 30 day program hopefully.
Excellent tutorials, great explanations. I found you after going through the Fusion360 Tutorials, which I now realize you taught some of! Nice work buddy, you're rad. As an aside, I didn't have any issues with shelling the body. I made a red glass bottle and uploaded and wrapped a pic of my face on the beer lol.
**I was referring to the Fusion Tutorials on the Autodesk Learn Center. And you taught the Skillshare courses too! You're a beast @ProductDesignOnline. I've been using Fusion for 3 days now and I'm on day 19 :D Trying to hit Expert in 3 months, thanks to your help.
I was going crazy trying to learn con-Fusion 360. Thanks to you now I have hope that someday I can be proficient at this. Please keep providing these awesome tutorials!
Thanks, RLW! I'm happy to hear you're learning a lot from my tutorials. Please don't hesitate to comment questions on the tutorials as you work through the remainder of the series. Cheers, Kevin :)
Sir, I kept doing very well but unfortunately I cant get it 18.33. My bottle center doesnt change to top of bottle. You say 'c' but when I click c on my keyboard, I can choose only the center of bottle. Can u help me to solve this problem :(
Awesome tutorial! I'm also very happy about the community chiming in when the UI changed. IE: The Appearance command living in the "Modify" section. I was stumped until someone mentioned it in a comment because it wasn't available in the right-click menu. Looking forward to more tutorias!
Thanks, Jhenntradesman. I'm glad the revised videos are an improvement. Please don't hesitate to comment questions as you work through the remainder of the series. Cheers, Kevin :)
ty so much for this content. I've already went through several different tutorial series from different people. I am learning so much about Fusion 360. What did we ever do before youtube? Greetings from Indiana, USA
Hi, Gary. Glad to hear you're enjoying the series. Here's the playlist with all of the most recent videos of the series - bit.ly/learn-fusion360 Please don't hesitate to comment questions on the tutorials as you work through the remainder of the series. Cheers, Kevin :)
That was very clear. No idea what the old version was like. I liked the small teaching parts where the workflow was probably not optimal, to include something that can be demonstrated on the side.
Thanks, hoggif! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed this tutorial. The first version had a much faster pace and wasn't quite as thorough with some of the fine details. Don't ever hesitate to comment questions on any of my tutorials. Cheers, Kevin :)
This was very useful. I feel that some discussion of using the mouse and it's possible moves to manipulate the model in the first of the series video might have been useful. Thank you!
thanks bro apriciate this just started 3d modeling online as i am not able to afford an education and you are really helping me out appriciate these good tutorials looking forward to the next one :)
These are Awesome training vids... and your time stamps are perfect for when I stop listening because Im trying to find what you are talking about (a lot of things are not where you say to find then and my tool bar is sub-sectioned white working in a split screen), or just complete the steps. You are just fast enough I dont feel like Im sitting around when trying to re-listen to a specific value you gave and your just paced enough I can clearly follow when I should be changing steps.. more then that... I actually Understand Most of whats being taught!! Im not just copying but actually learning about these things... like why you drew a separate line on the top instead of just connecting the Spline.. that was a mistake that was easier fixed by starting over.. may be simple fix to break the line and add the flat top.. but it was so fast to redo after following along with you the first time!! this is awesome! Ill have to donate once I manage to find work I can safely do again... this year has been hard.
JUST STARTED your 30 days mate. thanks very much. till now all smoth ;) just got one thing i think it would be GREAT, cocacola bottle, those curve upper lines would be fantastic ;)
Great video. Only problem I ran into was at the end for the appearance option. Had to Google to find out I have to select the body in order to have the right click menu show the appearance option.
Thank you so much for your help! Just a suggestion: please explain to us better how to more accurately place spline points when tracing as the lines and the shape starts to go everywhere!
Hi Kevin. Working my way through your tutorials. I like the pace and the fact that you tell us which keys you are pressing. I started with some DesignSpark tutorials a few weeks back but got frustrated looking at things magically happen on the screen. So I switched to Fusion 360. Keep up the good work and hopefully the user interface does not change too much in version to come so the content stays relevant.
You are a life saver I was directed to your videos and tutorials and I can't thank you enough for making them and explaining them in an easy format thank you!!!!
Seems like the appearence menu has moved in under the render tab, took some time before I could find it. Great tutorial, loved the create point feature, worked like a charm, and also the calibrate canvas hint, awesome!
Hey Cian, I had the same problem. It is most likely because you used the "Revolve" from the "Surface" Orange menu instead of the "Solid" Blue Menu. You can tell if you did this because the icon next to the body will be a orange revolve symbol instead of the typical white cylinder symbol. Just delete the orange revolve in your timeline and do it again with the Solid Revolve.
Another excellent video, thank you. I struggled with the horizontal constraint on the 9mm line at the top and had to constrain it first before changing the dimension. I also was unable to shell 3mm thick, managed 1mm, not sure why!
Made it. Thanks. I struggled with the fillet on the top edge. Could not select it, since afterwards (and some googling) I think my initial length of the horizontal line was too small (around 6 mm) ... After setting this length (as explained later on in the tutorial) to 9 mm, I could do the fillet of 1 mm.
@@rpawlinski I took a look at your file. I see in your sketch that you used a spline for the top line. You'll want to delete that and use the regular line command. The spline command is curved and doesn't result in a flat surface, which is why you're not able to create a sketch on the top. Once you replace it with a regular line you'll be able to proceed without any issues.
Thanks, Marcio. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed this one. Please don't hesitate to comment on any of my videos should you have any questions. Cheers, Kevin :)
Kev two things that would make this helpful for people as I was fumbling around till I got it. First remind people if they don't save the file then they are unable to calibrate the image to add the points to the boundary. Second when you are adding the dimension of 9mm to the top and adding the constraint to make sure the line from the center of the bottle to the other splice point is only selected. Because that is where you can constrain the line to horizontal/vertical axis. Hope this helps others.
Thanks for sharing this, Shant. I will take this into consideration as I record future tutorials. Please don't hesitate to comment on any of my videos should you have any questions. Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnlineyou got it brotha. Working through your tutorials so i'm sure i'll have questions. Thanks for taking the time to share these videos. They are helpful in getting my feet wet.
Thanks again for another great lesson, I’ve found it helpful to take notes and to try and make these objects again after your instruction. The updated video makes it clear what I’m doing, and with only a few discrepancies in UI, learning your techniques is easy.
Day 2, I have a glass bottle! As others have said, with the new release, some of the steps require a bit of searching, but your excellent tutorial on the updated interface has really helped, and I’m able to rummage around to find the necessary step. I made one mistake of completing the spline to the top of the centre line, and had to work out how to break the line - through the undo menu, and then add in the missing line at the top of the bottle. One thing I noticed, when dimensioning the top line on the bottle, it moved the centre line rather than the right-most point on the spline, but I managed to stop it moving by anchoring the centre line... not sure if that was right, but it seemed to work! Excellent tutorial. You really have a gift for this stuff.
Quick question, when I try make the hole in the top of the bottle I can't select that plane at the top of the bottle, only in the middle. Is there a way I can change this?
First thing, would be to look at the sketch and make sure the top surface is completely flat. You can add a "Horizontal/Vertical" constraint to ensure it's Horizontal. If a surface isn't planar or completely flat, then it will not allow you to select it.
Another very informative video! Like others, I find that the (seemingly) constant changes to the software make keeping up a little challenging, but very good instruction!
At 18:44, I realized I messed up and everything was to the left of the origin along the X axis. How do I take everything and align it to the origin? Looking forward to doing the rest of this amazing series, thanks!
So, I just drew a new plane at the top and easily had a new center point to draw the extruding circle. Still wouldn't mind knowing how to move a whole project around, though...
Will you revise these to the new interface? It is great but a bit confusing since for first timers like me. I had to try several things and ended up having to use the hole feature to make it work
Thanks for your speedy response. Much appreciated. Is there a 'Revised -Revised -Revised' :) version of this tutorial somewhere on the web? It's great that Fusion keeps upgrading this amazing program but we tyros need to be able to track the revisions somehow. Otherwise we end up like Boeing ... :(
I really love this so far. The whole interface is already changed so much since you revised this. I have to keep looking for things to do differently... like "Appearance" wasn't there with the right click. No problem though.. Once you know what you are looking for you will find it soon enough anyway and learn even better. Top presentation and super good build up .
At around 18:38, we're directed to hit C (to start the circle command) and then "select the top face of the bottle." I've tried about six different strategies to select that top face, and no dice. I cannot get the circle command to draw on the top of the bottle, and so my extrusion (in the next step) is floating out in the middle of nowhere. Not sure what's up.
Hi, John. I'm happy to help troubleshoot. Can you please provide a link to a screenshot or to your file? This will help me dechpiher what is going on. Share your public link as a reply to this comment. Here's a video explaining how to share a public link - th-cam.com/video/2XrcrdV-8Ls/w-d-xo.html Cheers, Kevin :)
@@JohnMcKLV That would certainly cause it to not let you sketch on that top face. You can apply a "horizontal/vertical" constraint to force the top line to be horizontal. Double-click on that sketch in the timeline to open it back up. Then, select the top line of the bottle > right-click > select "horizontal/vertical constraint" or select the constraint in your Sketch Palette. Let me know if that fixes it! Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline Once I recognized the issue it took 20 seconds to fix. BTW, how can you take the time to respond to comments in realtime? I'm amazed. Thanks!
Great great tutorial! Very helpful 👍. I just have this one question, I have the latest version, and in this tutorial where you talked about inserting image it does not have any proper button as you told in the video. Please help out?!
@@devonthomas6298 well, in the insert command, there is not attached canvas in the latest update, it is only canvas. and by clicking it you will be able to insert the image.
Really dig these lessons. Had an issue with this one when trying to make the circle at the top. I would click the plane (if that's what you call it) wouldn't go to the top of the bottle making the cut happen from the middle of the bottle vs the top to the bottom of the top. Hope this makes sense.. Not sure if I did something wrong or an update changed a setting. Love the tutorials!
Thanks for a great series, I have been trying to learn 360 for a while and this is helping. But I have one question. The 9mm line at the top of the bottle, My pea brain says it would have been easier to add this line before setting all the points like we did with the bottom and side of the bottle. Am I missing something?
Hi, Doug. Great question. That's really a matter of personal preference. It wouldn't matter if you added the 9mm line before or after the spline. Don't hesitate to comment if you run into any roadblocks throughout the series. Cheers, Kevin :)

Completed today. Snap to center was not on in my pref but this was good to finish.
Thank you.
Made it all the way to the finish line! Good thing I can always 'rewind' and look at certain parts again whenever something didn't work like your did. The days of sitting in a classroom and asking the tutor to repeat something are coming to an end, haha!
This is brilliant stuff, Kevin. I've got quite a bit of experience using 3ds Max. However, this seems to be a complete different game with measurements being way more crucial for these product designs. I'll be going through this entire playlist and then some!
Thanks again!
Hi, Kaj. Glad to see you're making progress. You are certainly correct, Fusion 360s parametric nature is a much different approach than 3Ds Max. However, that would be valuable to be skilled in both. Keep at it! Cheers, Kevin :)
even 3 years later i can still figure out how to model using your videos, you are great thank you
Never saw the 1st edition, but made it to the end and learned!! Thanks for your time.
Very helpful videos. I am just getting started, and there are many stops and starts as the interface is slightly different, but these are so helpful. Thank you for posting them.
Did the bottle. That's two in one day. Getting a lot better at navigating through the program. It's to the point when I did have little issues I was still able to complete the model. For instance, right click canvas to bring up appearance. Wasn't working for me. But I did find it quickly in the drop down Modify box.
Finished. Had some issues so i started over and it went perfect. Printing this out now on my Ender 3 with sharpie colorizer and 3 brown sharpies in vase mode.
You have always left me amazed with your teaching skills.
Another great video. One thing I noticed though, Real Beer bottles have a bit of a recess on the bottom, so that only the circumference of the bottle is touching the surface (table, bar, whatever). I added this to my model by going back to the original sketch and using the spline tool there to modify the shape a bit. Thanks for all these videos. They are super helpful as I learn Fusion!
Great point, Juney! Most of the objects created in this series are for practice/core concepts and I do not necessarily make them to spec :)
Some fantastic tutorials and really enjoying the working through them. There's some difficulties in finding some things within the new UI but apart from that, you've explained things very clearly.
Many thanks!
Please see the updated series here: bit.ly/30daysUpdated
Excellent! FYI, if you're on version 2.0, I found "Appearance" by right clicking on the top most item in the "Browser", or by pressing "A"
Great video. The one place I got stuck was on creating a hole in the top of the beer bottle. I wasn't given the option to select the top of the beer bottle for drawing the circle for some reason. The only place I could draw was on the axes.
I had to redo this as well. If you trace the top of the bottle too accurately, it will have a rounded top surface that can not be extruded. Make the top of the bottle as flat as possible so you can extrude your hole. That just sounds wrong...
@@Angrygreek00 @Chris Natale, top of my bottle was flat as a pancake. Still can't hollow it out from that face. EDIT: scratch that, adjusted the shell width to be thinner and it worked.
Thank you. I got a little lost the first time through. But I tried it again the next day and I got it easily.
i bought a few online courses but this series is by far the best for me so far. thanks man
Thanks, Anders. Most all of the online courses I've previewed do not teach F360 best practices... and often the instructors do not take the time to practice teaching. Anyway, don't hesitate to reach out if you run into any roadblocks.
This was extremely helpful. Thanks for obviously having taken the time to plan out what you're going to do in advance (I haven't seen your original videos, so not referring to them, but to others' 360 tutorial videos) and speaking clearly and not too quickly but also not wasting any time. Perfect.
Thanks, sovietnyc. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed this tutorial. Please don't hesitate to comment on any of my videos should you have any questions. Cheers, Kevin :)
Thanks for the Tutorials! I learned Pro Engineer 4.0 in school (a long time ago now) and most things transfer over but there are some new features and details with the newer software. Its nice to be able to go over the basics again and make sure I'm not missing anything. I am going to go through the entire 30 day program hopefully.
Took 2 attempts but I got there. Excellent tutorial you are a fantastic teacher!
Thank you Product Design Online ( Kevin) I have watched this video and done Exercise, I didn't watched you earlier video of glass bottle
Great job! Keep going :)
Excellent tutorials, great explanations. I found you after going through the Fusion360 Tutorials, which I now realize you taught some of! Nice work buddy, you're rad. As an aside, I didn't have any issues with shelling the body. I made a red glass bottle and uploaded and wrapped a pic of my face on the beer lol.
**I was referring to the Fusion Tutorials on the Autodesk Learn Center. And you taught the Skillshare courses too! You're a beast @ProductDesignOnline. I've been using Fusion for 3 days now and I'm on day 19 :D Trying to hit Expert in 3 months, thanks to your help.
Thanks for your kind words and support! :)
I was going crazy trying to learn con-Fusion 360. Thanks to you now I have hope that someday I can be proficient at this. Please keep providing these awesome tutorials!
Thanks, RLW! I'm happy to hear you're learning a lot from my tutorials. Please don't hesitate to comment questions on the tutorials as you work through the remainder of the series. Cheers, Kevin :)
con-fusion lol haha nice one
Sir, I kept doing very well but unfortunately I cant get it 18.33. My bottle center doesnt change to top of bottle. You say 'c' but when I click c on my keyboard, I can choose only the center of bottle. Can u help me to solve this problem :(
awesome tutorial.. loved learning how to use the spline tool
Awesome tutorial! I'm also very happy about the community chiming in when the UI changed. IE: The Appearance command living in the "Modify" section. I was stumped until someone mentioned it in a comment because it wasn't available in the right-click menu. Looking forward to more tutorias!
I’m going back through your videos and rewatching the fusion in 30 days series. Your revised videos are a lot easier to follow. Thanks!
Thanks, Jhenntradesman. I'm glad the revised videos are an improvement. Please don't hesitate to comment questions as you work through the remainder of the series. Cheers, Kevin :)
ty so much for this content. I've already went through several different tutorial series from different people. I am learning so much about Fusion 360. What did we ever do before youtube? Greetings from Indiana, USA
Hi, Gary. Glad to hear you're enjoying the series. Here's the playlist with all of the most recent videos of the series - bit.ly/learn-fusion360
Please don't hesitate to comment questions on the tutorials as you work through the remainder of the series. Cheers, Kevin :)
That was very clear. No idea what the old version was like. I liked the small teaching parts where the workflow was probably not optimal, to include something that can be demonstrated on the side.
Thanks, hoggif! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed this tutorial. The first version had a much faster pace and wasn't quite as thorough with some of the fine details.
Don't ever hesitate to comment questions on any of my tutorials. Cheers, Kevin :)
Thanks again for your videos!! Can I ask you why in 17:09 you are adding dimension of 9 mm? what's the purpose? Thanks!!
This was very useful. I feel that some discussion of using the mouse and it's possible moves to manipulate the model in the first of the series video might have been useful. Thank you!
thanks bro apriciate this just started 3d modeling online as i am not able to afford an education and you are really helping me out appriciate these good tutorials looking forward to the next one :)
Great lessons, Kevin. I'm learning a lot very quickly! I'm going to cheat, however. I'm going to try to reduce 30 days to about 2!
These are Awesome training vids... and your time stamps are perfect for when I stop listening because Im trying to find what you are talking about (a lot of things are not where you say to find then and my tool bar is sub-sectioned white working in a split screen), or just complete the steps.
You are just fast enough I dont feel like Im sitting around when trying to re-listen to a specific value you gave and your just paced enough I can clearly follow when I should be changing steps..
more then that... I actually Understand Most of whats being taught!! Im not just copying but actually learning about these things... like why you drew a separate line on the top instead of just connecting the Spline.. that was a mistake that was easier fixed by starting over.. may be simple fix to break the line and add the flat top.. but it was so fast to redo after following along with you the first time!!
this is awesome! Ill have to donate once I manage to find work I can safely do again... this year has been hard.
JUST STARTED your 30 days mate. thanks very much. till now all smoth ;) just got one thing i think it would be GREAT, cocacola bottle, those curve upper lines would be fantastic ;)
This video may be an interesting route for a coca cola bottle - th-cam.com/video/LSPCkHA_55A/w-d-xo.html
Cheers! :)
I finished it! The shell command didn't handle the neck of the bottle correctly, but the cut extrude command fixed it! Thank you! Day 2 complete :)
Great video. Only problem I ran into was at the end for the appearance option. Had to Google to find out I have to select the body in order to have the right click menu show the appearance option.
Another great video. Had some issues cutting the hole in the top of the bottle as I didn't seem to have a reference plane to create the cut from.
Thank you so much for your help! Just a suggestion: please explain to us better how to more accurately place spline points when tracing as the lines and the shape starts to go everywhere!
Great point. Thanks, Farah :)
Hi Kevin. Working my way through your tutorials. I like the pace and the fact that you tell us which keys you are pressing. I started with some DesignSpark tutorials a few weeks back but got frustrated looking at things magically happen on the screen. So I switched to Fusion 360. Keep up the good work and hopefully the user interface does not change too much in version to come so the content stays relevant.
Thanks! I'm hoping to (eventually) revise the entire series... once I get done with some current coursework that I'm working on. Stay healthy. Cheers!
You are a life saver I was directed to your videos and tutorials and I can't thank you enough for making them and explaining them in an easy format thank you!!!!
Thanks, Zach! Glad to hear that... don't hesitate to comment if you ever have questions. Cheers, Kevin :)
Seems like the appearence menu has moved in under the render tab, took some time before I could find it. Great tutorial, loved the create point feature, worked like a charm, and also the calibrate canvas hint, awesome!
At 17:11 you said to hit the 'Stop Sketch' button, which I don't have on my interface. Does "esc" do the same thing...or no.
Hi Kevin, I have no idea what I did wrong but I'm unable to select the body to shell .? Any advice wouod be great
Hey Cian, I had the same problem. It is most likely because you used the "Revolve" from the "Surface" Orange menu instead of the "Solid" Blue Menu. You can tell if you did this because the icon next to the body will be a orange revolve symbol instead of the typical white cylinder symbol. Just delete the orange revolve in your timeline and do it again with the Solid Revolve.
Another excellent video, thank you. I struggled with the horizontal constraint on the 9mm line at the top and had to constrain it first before changing the dimension. I also was unable to shell 3mm thick, managed 1mm, not sure why!
Made it. Thanks. I struggled with the fillet on the top edge. Could not select it, since afterwards (and some googling) I think my initial length of the horizontal line was too small (around 6 mm) ... After setting this length (as explained later on in the tutorial) to 9 mm, I could do the fillet of 1 mm.
Glad you were able to work through it! Don't hesitate to comment if you run into anymore roadblocks. Cheers, Kevin :)
I still can't select top edge of the bottle. When I trying, this selecting 2 faces. Help please.
@@rpawlinski Can you share the link to your file so I can take a look?
@@ProductDesignOnline a360.co/32MH6T7
@@rpawlinski I took a look at your file. I see in your sketch that you used a spline for the top line. You'll want to delete that and use the regular line command. The spline command is curved and doesn't result in a flat surface, which is why you're not able to create a sketch on the top. Once you replace it with a regular line you'll be able to proceed without any issues.
Revised version is much easier to understand. Congrats on the project of teaching us Fusion 360 so well explained!
Thanks, Marcio. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed this one. Please don't hesitate to comment on any of my videos should you have any questions. Cheers, Kevin :)
Kev two things that would make this helpful for people as I was fumbling around till I got it. First remind people if they don't save the file then they are unable to calibrate the image to add the points to the boundary. Second when you are adding the dimension of 9mm to the top and adding the constraint to make sure the line from the center of the bottle to the other splice point is only selected. Because that is where you can constrain the line to horizontal/vertical axis. Hope this helps others.
Thanks for sharing this, Shant. I will take this into consideration as I record future tutorials. Please don't hesitate to comment on any of my videos should you have any questions. Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnlineyou got it brotha. Working through your tutorials so i'm sure i'll have questions. Thanks for taking the time to share these videos. They are helpful in getting my feet wet.
@@bigshantolifting You're welcome! I'm always happy to help. Keep at it! Cheers, Kevin :)
Thanks again for another great lesson, I’ve found it helpful to take notes and to try and make these objects again after your instruction.
The updated video makes it clear what I’m doing, and with only a few discrepancies in UI, learning your techniques is easy.
As everyone else has commented, the UI has had some minor changes but it's still possible to follow each step. Thank you!
Thank you so much. It makes me very inspired and excited to learn more when I make full products while learning the features as well. :)
Day 2, I have a glass bottle! As others have said, with the new release, some of the steps require a bit of searching, but your excellent tutorial on the updated interface has really helped, and I’m able to rummage around to find the necessary step. I made one mistake of completing the spline to the top of the centre line, and had to work out how to break the line - through the undo menu, and then add in the missing line at the top of the bottle.
One thing I noticed, when dimensioning the top line on the bottle, it moved the centre line rather than the right-most point on the spline, but I managed to stop it moving by anchoring the centre line... not sure if that was right, but it seemed to work!
Excellent tutorial. You really have a gift for this stuff.
JUST finished day #2! Loving this series, hope i'm much improved by day 30! :0)
Great work! Keep going :)
Nice tutorial. Very helpful. Thank you very much.
Quick question, when I try make the hole in the top of the bottle I can't select that plane at the top of the bottle, only in the middle. Is there a way I can change this?
Same here
First thing, would be to look at the sketch and make sure the top surface is completely flat. You can add a "Horizontal/Vertical" constraint to ensure it's Horizontal. If a surface isn't planar or completely flat, then it will not allow you to select it.
lots of love from India... plz make sure you do this good work forever
Thanks, Ram. I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Cheers, Kevin :)
Another very informative video! Like others, I find that the (seemingly) constant changes to the software make keeping up a little challenging, but very good instruction!
This is awesome simple to follow and have taken some frustration out of learning F 360 thank you dude.
Great video! Please continue to do more of these.
At 18:44, I realized I messed up and everything was to the left of the origin along the X axis. How do I take everything and align it to the origin? Looking forward to doing the rest of this amazing series, thanks!
So, I just drew a new plane at the top and easily had a new center point to draw the extruding circle. Still wouldn't mind knowing how to move a whole project around, though...
started watching your videos and learning a lot, i already have some experience but you have nice tips and tricks .... just subscribed
Will you revise these to the new interface? It is great but a bit confusing since for first timers like me. I had to try several things and ended up having to use the hole feature to make it work
this is a wonderful video
totally gonna subscribe
Thanks for your speedy response. Much appreciated.
Is there a 'Revised -Revised -Revised' :) version of this tutorial somewhere on the web? It's great that Fusion keeps upgrading this amazing program but we tyros need to be able to track the revisions somehow. Otherwise we end up like Boeing ... :(
haha. Good analogy ;) At the moment, I do not have the 30 day series recorded with the latest UI.
Finished. Thanks for the video!
Excellent tutorial, just like your others that I've viewed so far. Thanks for the clear, concise steps to follow.
I really love this so far. The whole interface is already changed so much since you revised this. I have to keep looking for things to do differently... like "Appearance" wasn't there with the right click. No problem though.. Once you know what you are looking for you will find it soon enough anyway and learn even better. Top presentation and super good build up .
Just to add my bit. In the 2020 version; I found appearance in 'Render'
Thanks for the video, very helpful and well explained. Off to make so soft
At around 18:38, we're directed to hit C (to start the circle command) and then "select the top face of the bottle."
I've tried about six different strategies to select that top face, and no dice. I cannot get the circle command to draw on the top of the bottle, and so my extrusion (in the next step) is floating out in the middle of nowhere. Not sure what's up.
Hi, John. I'm happy to help troubleshoot. Can you please provide a link to a screenshot or to your file? This will help me dechpiher what is going on.
Share your public link as a reply to this comment. Here's a video explaining how to share a public link - th-cam.com/video/2XrcrdV-8Ls/w-d-xo.html
Cheers, Kevin :)
I suspect my top face of the bottle is not perfectly horizontal, so I need to backtrack and redo that step.
@@JohnMcKLV That would certainly cause it to not let you sketch on that top face. You can apply a "horizontal/vertical" constraint to force the top line to be horizontal. Double-click on that sketch in the timeline to open it back up. Then, select the top line of the bottle > right-click > select "horizontal/vertical constraint" or select the constraint in your Sketch Palette.
Let me know if that fixes it! Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline Once I recognized the issue it took 20 seconds to fix.
BTW, how can you take the time to respond to comments in realtime? I'm amazed. Thanks!
@@JohnMcKLV I do my best to respond while I'm taking a break from my work :)
Great great tutorial! Very helpful 👍. I just have this one question, I have the latest version, and in this tutorial where you talked about inserting image it does not have any proper button as you told in the video. Please help out?!
I have the same hang up did you ever figure it out?
@@devonthomas6298 well, in the insert command, there is not attached canvas in the latest update, it is only canvas. and by clicking it you will be able to insert the image.
at 18:34 how did you select the top of the bottle, my circle keeps showing up at the origin
Same issue, the 14 mm circle is stuck at the bottom of the bottle
@@kevangogh Same issue :(
Really dig these lessons. Had an issue with this one when trying to make the circle at the top. I would click the plane (if that's what you call it) wouldn't go to the top of the bottle making the cut happen from the middle of the bottle vs the top to the bottom of the top. Hope this makes sense.. Not sure if I did something wrong or an update changed a setting. Love the tutorials!
I had the same issue. The plane field would only go to the middle or bottom of the bottle. Were you able to find a solution?
Thanks! Appearance doesnt seem to show up in the right click menu in default though... easy enough to do in the modify menu though
Hi Chris. They may have removed it when they reorganized the menu. You can always hit the keyboard shortcut "A" to active it :)
thank you for this tutoral. I learned a lot and help me to use F360. Also, yet there are few differences with actual version of f360 !
Thanks for a great series, I have been trying to learn 360 for a while and this is helping. But I have one question. The 9mm line at the top of the bottle, My pea brain says it would have been easier to add this line before setting all the points like we did with the bottom and side of the bottle. Am I missing something?
Hi, Doug. Great question. That's really a matter of personal preference. It wouldn't matter if you added the 9mm line before or after the spline.
Don't hesitate to comment if you run into any roadblocks throughout the series. Cheers, Kevin :)
