One last suggestion, since all your components are of the same material/color, you could use the « Shift-N » (colored components) feature which could help greatly with visualisation and understanding the assembly and separate visually the components.
At 32:54, instead of the long hold to select through geometry, in a case like this one, I select the visible/unobstructed profile and go straight to the extrude command. Once the command active you can select other profiles from that sketch through all geometry. Saves a little bit of time. :)
Hey Brad, this has been a fantastic series, great for help to put everything into context (excuse the pun) Thanks to Aaron and Anjelo for manning the chat too.
Awesome again. In particular, the way that the hex nut sat on the thread. Instead of joining, just used moving from point to point. it saves a lot of commands. Perfect.
I like this approach to design. I used to designed multi-component models in separate files for machining purposes. I would then link them into a separate assembly drawing for design modification purposes. I was concerned about being too cluttered in the manufacturing space with just one big drawing with all the parts in one file. Can you do a video sometime showing how you would organize the manufacturing operations on a part with a lot of components all in one file? Your presentations are really wonderfully done! Thanks.
Thanks Brad; can I suggest the problem with the woodruff key is that the top of the key needed trimming :) To construct the item, the woodruff key (in slot) would need to be able to slide through the bushing to get to it's keyway in the frame.
@Justin- Ya, I think I must have been rushing and not paying attention to where my dimension should have referenced. I think I went "up" instead of "down". Ah, the joys of doing things "Live" :)
At 24:47, you didn’t even need to create the sketch for the washer. You could have gone straight to extrude, select the face, chose the option « To object! » and Voilà!!! One less feature in the timeline! ;) Important though, you need to access the Extrude command to do that so tou can’t use the « Q » keyboard short cut. Use the « E » key or you’ll end up in the « Offset face » command and that won’t work here.
Ya, you can do it that way, but you have to remember to select "New Component" in the operation, otherwise it will "join" or "add" that extrusion to the existing part. I also like to use a sketch because typically your sketch is the "master definition" of the part. When you want to make a change, you typically change the sketch. However, you are correct, it saves a step or two.
@@bradtallis8968 Thanks this answered my question about if there was advantage to the sketch here. I guess a key thing here was that it was a new component. If it was part of an existing component maybe it would be less worth it.
@Mixed Reality- Yes, you could consider them being similar, mainly due to the fact that we aren't building an "actual" joint as you would in the Assemble menu.
On this design can you do an animation showing how the components are assembled without them passing through each other. I can not see how the woodruff key can be inserted without interfering with the washer and bushing.
This could make for an interesting video. Using the animation workspace to show how the entire assembly is put together. If this assembly can not be done without one component passing through or interfering with another, this would show a design flaw.
@@adskFusion To expand on Robert's request, when doing the exploded view of the drawing, can you have lines showing where the exploded parts are supposed to go when assembled? Kind of like how some exploded views show lines connecting the parts since they get confusing as which way they go together. For example, a line would go from the key to where the slot is on the bolt. Another would have the line going form the bolt, through one part of the frame, up to the pulley assembly, then back down through the other hole. Etc.
Wow, this transform command was what I should have used to complete my explosion movie in 5 minutes, instead of fiddling around with these automatics/manual explosion for 2 hours... #Gold
For practice I just look around the house/office and if I can't visualize how it would be designed, I challenge myself to make it. Other than that, you can find engineering drawings all over the internet. Maybe Brad has a book in mind though.
I’m having the worst time trying to move that but into position. I cannot seem to be able to isolate that center position without it going away when I move my mouse to click on it. I have tried the command key (Mac) but then I can’t seem to do the same when I try to select the target point. Frustrating to come this far and get hung up on something so mundane.

I had the same issue and the problem was holding ctrl while hovering on the circular face then move the cursor over the center point and click on it. It's not immediately apparent but it selects the center point. Hope you could find a fix and had your model finished. I'm throwing this here for future reference for others who have a hard time dealing with this.
I wonder why do you use mirror on components instead of copy/move (optionally followed by joint)? A copy creates another component instance and it looks clean in components list. I think mirror should be used primarily for bodies.
In multi-component design like this each newly created component inherits origin from the parent component, which usually is not where we would expect it to be, e.g. way aside from object's symmetry center. I wonder if that matters at all and if so in which cases and which is the best practice to adjust component's origin (when and how to do that).
Enhancement request for the combine and Project commands. Instead of having the parts be created line to line, as in the combine command with the "CUT" method, provide an option to have a clearance be included. Kind of a built in offset/ built in tolerance. You select the two components to combine --> select combine --> Select Cut --> select a "tolerance compensation" which creates a gap a certain distance you specify (i.e. 0.005") -->select okay. From the example you gave in part two @ 10 minute mark, you may want to have the material removed from just the frame or material removed from just the bracket or have it removed from both (i.e. 0.0025" from each component) or finally a bilateral tolerance applied which gives the most control. Same goes for the project command.
Good day Autodesk Fusion360 team, in last live stream mr.Brad Tallis has announced that LS’s will be ones a week. I think once in a week is not enough. lot’s of important things to learn, and every day there are many participants join auotdesk family, LS’s encouraging them. Also watching LS’s and drawing the design is good exercises. I know it is not easy to make LS’s like that and family members has lot’s of works to do. But…….!!?? please think ower again your programe, give us chance to learn more. Thank you. Best regards.
I wish we had more time in the week! We were struggling to keep that pace up, so we felt it was best to scale back. If we get more help we'll try to get more of these in.
MMM maybe Tuesday fusion learning and Thursday fusion working with 3d printing and setting up milling and leads and making a real part. two big thing to learn about. Hard just to get in one hour a week . There so much to learn. please 2 hour a week
I wish we had more time in the week. We were struggling to keep that pace up, unfortunately so we felt it was best to cut back. If we get more help we'll try to get more of these in per week. There is a great deal of material here and in help and elsewhere to learn just about anything at any time.
Thanks again! Stuff learnt today:
- gesture up for repeat
- mouse from BR2TL vs TL2BR
- named view
- adding tables (and renumbering)
Thank you Brad! Thank you Fusion 360 Team.

Liked everything about it!!!
Thanks so much, Monte!
this class was very usefull thank you
Wonderful systematic modeling
Thanks much!

All depends on the end goal. Mirroring components could potentially cause problems with BOM inaccuracies.

I wonder if that matters at all and if so in which cases and which is the best practice to adjust component's origin (when and how to do that).
I can think of a few cases where it might matter, but that can be overcome with other solutions or by creating new planes.
