Hello Friends! Check out this video for Zoom, Pan and Rotate!
th-cam.com/video/PCPyy_RVEhM/w-d-xo.html
From you name I see you has Danish Origin. could you maybe make a Danish version of the basics? I´ve just began my education And need to learn this software.
Great tutorials. I can’t for the life of me, copy, rotate and raise a stair tread for a set of spiral stairs. Could you possibly make a tutorial on that?
Lars Christensen
Thank you so for your commitment and passion to teach fusion 360. Have been using 3d modeler Lighwave by NewTek, which is really a totally different breast. So in short I wanted to learn cad but felt it was to much to take on.. Not anymore. Thank you again and hope you can keep up the awesome training.😀
Lars Christensen helpful video 👍🏼
Lars Christensen its a bit confusing but at the end i unerstand
For others just learning this, model is now called design
Thank you. I was trippin 🤦🏽♂️
Thank you! I kicked the hell out of my dog for that
@@Jonnygurudesignsgood call, I’m gonna try that and see if it helps me
Thank you so much
I haye how they keep making dramatic changes. I used to be proficient 2 yrs ago. Took a break and now im completely lost😢😢😢
Model is now Design. The picture matches in the updated version.
Units are now in Document Settings.
I do not see an updated version. How would I find it?
THANK YOU! This should be top comment.
Thanks
Thank you
I teach Fusion 360 for high school students. I really like the flow of this video and the functions and features that are introduced, but my students get frustrated by the mismatch between the UI in the video and the current version. Any chance of getting an updated video to match the current UI?
Would be awesome please advise if you find something
Hi Chris , could I ask why your school or yourself picked fusion 360 is it considered the best option for beginners?
@@shiraz1736 My kid's highschool teaches Fusion 360 in their introduction engineering design class using the PLTW curriculum. Seems like the default CAD software in highschools. It is fairly easy to get started with and AutoDesk has an educational framework developed with all the appropriate licensing.
@@peteroleary9447 Thanks for your reply Pete, is there a fusion beginner software package available at a reasonable price if you are not enrolled in a training course ?
@@shiraz1736 There's a 3 year F360 license for hobbyist, personal non-commercial use. I tried posting a link for you, but yt nixed it lol.
The first Fusion 360 "beginner" video that is actually for beginners. Thank you.
Wow I started CAD drawing in high school and then went on to get a degree in music...so I hadn't messed around with my industrial arts side. We barely touched Auto CAD and mostly did work on John Apperson's CADSTD. I love the fact that the Autodesk company knows that there are hobbyists out there that do basic hobby works and cannot afford the same price as companies that can afford the program. This is the very heart and soul of being a maker and I salute you all. Thank you for being there for the big guys and us little guys (and gals too).
For the first time in 30 years, im happy like a little kid for learning a software. Im not a profesionall nor will i need this in my professional life, but man am I happy to have been able to create this insignificant box of pixels. All the instructions were damn easy to follow and even if the software shown is a bit outdated just a bit of investigation made it possible. I would like to kindly thank you kind sir for this. You have gained a faithful subscriber, hoping to grow with you.
I happened to choose your three part beginner video when starting out in Fusion 360 over all the other channels available. I can’t imagine anyone else could have put together a better beginner tutorial and I feel no need to look elsewhere on TH-cam as I continue to learn this software. Over these three quick and concise videos I have gone from confused and frustrated to having a great grounding in the fundamentals of Fusion 360 and an appreciation of the power of parametric modelling. Thanks Lars
I know this is 6 years old at this point but as a complete newbie to Fusion 360 and having watched a few other intro videos this one really helps and makes things simpler for me to grasp.
5 years later and this video is still VERRY helpful!! Just wish you had a class I could attend..
Great. Finally I have found someone who can explain how to use CAD in a simple and understandable way. You take the time to explain things, illustrate and repeat your explanation to ensure the viewer knows what you are referring too. I am learning a lot from you. Thank you.
Thank you Victor! Really happy you find the content helpful!
Have an awesome day!!
Lars: You know you are good when you have an amateur on this end yet I am creating parametric designs that are replicas of what you are presenting in your videos. Two thumps up. Thank you.
Best beginners tutorial I have seen so far for Fusion 360 the others tend to fly around with the mouse leaving the details missing. please keep them coming thanks
Just downloaded Fusion 360 yesterday. These series of videos got me to know the software well and I could start explore a bit. It is true that it is outdated, some name and menus has changed, but with a little bit intuitive exploring you will find the most of the functions used in the video. I agree with some of the comments down below that it would be great with an updated tutorial. I like the teaching style of these videos. Thank you for these.
Really great tutorial . I just spent the last 2 hours watching Autodesks videos and was totally lost. Your 20 minutes blows them out of the water. Great job. Thanks
Could you do an updated version of this video with the latest edition of Fusion 360? Right out of the gate, Model is now Design, which threw me off of even being able to get started. From the other comments, there are lots of other changes that can be confusing for a beginner. Thanks for this video!
most of the stuff is pretty same...
@@jithamanyusettur3163 Looks pretty different to me. Maybe if you were used to the previous versions it's a minor change, but I'm new and so many of these menus and options aren't in front of me. Or maybe have different names? Heck if I know. I'd love to see an updated tutorial.
@@KurtSchwindu can start with this th-cam.com/play/PLmN15diDm2iKJ_snJ60QpUUMcte19QaTs.html and then get some familiarity with updated version then u can come back to this....
I'm an old guy with 0 CAD experience. Lars,you are an excellent teacher! I learned more by watching your 1st video than hours of reading. Thanks, and looking forward to the rest of the series.
Many thanks for teaching me how to model something in the same time it took to watch your beginner 1,2,3 videos. I honestly thought it would take me a year to get that far but in one afternoon I designed a conduit box to my own measurements and then changed it to a gearbox case idea! It only took a good teacher like you to make it all fall into place. 3 months later and I'm designing things I thought would have taken me years to learn. thank you soo much!!!!
Hey Lars, is there any chance of an update series with the new UI? Tried to follow you but things work differently now. Couldn’t get my lines to turn from blue to black. Super frustrating. I’m sure a new series would be very popular
This is great! I just started playing with fusion360 after using Sketch for a few years.This video was very easy to follow. Looking forward to learning more!
Thank you Lars. I got going by watching part of this first video, and then crashing around to figure it out, then into CAD toolpath generation so I could start making stuff on my hobby CNC mill. Now I'm back to see watch the rest. So much more power than what I was already tapped into, thanks to you. This is a fantastic help to all of us out here in the maker community.
I actually don't understand why people don''t like this video, I know some terms and locations are different now, but doesn't take that much to understand the new version of what he's saying and he's actually done an amazing job!! Thank you a lot!
Lars, Bless you my friend, I have wanted to learn CAD for years but till I retired never took the time; embarrassing for someone who lives in Autodesk’s home town [San Rafael,CA]. I am 2 vids into your Intro to Fusion series & love the presentation, so clear and so logical; this gives me hope I can actually master this great tool. Well, back to school. -Take Care & Thanks
Great Start! I've been banging my head trying to understand this software. No one else explains it so logically. Thanks a lot Lars!
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
Thank you Lars, you understand that someone completely new often needs to see the very first mouse kick in order to get started, I wish more how to video makers realised this, thank you, John from Sunny Devon UK
Lars, you have helped make my transition from 2D to 3D so much more fruitful and I do appreciate the efforts you put forth to produce these videos. I'm already printing some of my own basic parts for anything that i can find just to keep up with the practice and apply these basic principles.
"Relationships impose rules that tie you down"... Giving 3D help AND being a scholar... nice
Thank you for a clear concise explanation of a complex job. I think you have done a very good job mate and ignore the negative criticism in the comments, if people don’t like the program they have no justification for taking it out on you, you’re just helping out learners to the system like myself and I think you’re doing s great job mate. As we Aussies say, keep on keeping on, 11 x 👍🏻
I watch a lot of instructional videos and this is really refreshing. Its is accurate, interesting, and straight to the point, with limited waffle about unnecessary crap. Looking forward to the rest.
Hey Lars, I tried to learn Fusion 360 5 years ago and stuck with 123D Design. You are so easy to follow and a very good teacher. You speak slow enough to follow and are very comprehend-able. I am sure with the help of your videos that I will be able to succeed this time. Thanks and God bless you.
You are a great teacher, your English is impeccable, and you are beautiful.
Thank you 😊
this tutorial needs to be redone. 6 years of updates its now completely different
Lars you're a frickin' legend. I've wanted to learn a cad program for years and I've learnt how to use fusion in a weekend watching your videos. Thank you so much.
I believe this is the best beginner video I have watched to date. It is great to hear Scandinavian accent rather than American. Your pace of speech is great for people to learn from. I love the workflow you took us through. I am looking forward to watching more of your videos as I learn Fusion 360. Great to see a list of shortcuts which does make life a lot easier.
Just watched the video and followed along. Had some issues with push/pulling the second time around to get the depth of the box, not sure what happened but eventually got it. When switching from the top to the bottom of the box how did you rotate the view to the bottom? I don't think you talked about that shortcut in the video unless you've got others I should watch first.
Fking A!!!
Was trying to figure out how to start with fusion 360 for about 2 hours.
Couldn't understand even how to start a sketch.
This 20 minutes video made me feel like a professional now🙏🙏🙏🙏
Lars, thanks so much for this! I actually love that they are a little old, using an updated version of Autodesk while watching you totally adds to the learning experience.
This was absolutely incredible and eye opening for me. I've held off getting a 3d printer as i didn't want to just make keychains or things in tinkerclad. I can't wait to see the rest of your series, and learn whatever else you're willing to teach - THANK YOU!
Just starting on 3d modeling.. Awesome tutorial! thanks. subcribed!
Hello, I am not an engineer, I am an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. I am less than a beginner in 3D modeling and sketching. I tried to look for many videos to start learning but I have to admit that you are perfect in explaining things to guys like me and you really know how to present your ideas and to explain why. Thumbs up, thumbs up and thumbs up. I will continue watching your videos and I hope I find w-hat I am looking for. Foe example I have stl files for mandible and stl file for bone plate, and I am trying to virtually bend this plate on the outer contour of the mandible. I hope I can find a solution here
Lars, Many thanks, these are the most intuitive Fusion videos I have watched on YT. I have been pulling out my hair trying to make sense of this software and your set of videos have been the answer to my prayer. Thank you. Regards Paul
First time ever using Fusion 360. I have the newest version out. I had a little trouble following your steps as the screens were different. BUT I did manage to make the part and it turned out just like yours did. I will probably go back and watch this video several times to see the steps again and take notes. I tried watching other videos on TH-cam and got lost within the first several minutes. Thank you for "breaking the ice" for me!!
Who the heck would hit a THUMB DOWN?! That was the most in depth, well explained tutorial I can find on youtube! If you didn’t get it the first time hit REWIND geeezzz
Great tutorial Lars👍🏼👍🏼
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
Lars' orientation is Y axis up. That setting is accessed by clicking on you profile circle at the upper left, then Preferences -> General - > Default Modeling Orientation. Choose: Y up
Hi Lars, I probably first saw this video a year ago - and now i'm back a year later, ready to follow along with fusion. if i recall, your video(s) were the best I've seen, and i can't wait to follow along with more of them - THANK YOU!
I use fusion 360 once or twice a year, while I work amongst a lot of other technologies. So I always watch THIS video first, before I start a new project. I've seen it 10 times. Thanks, Lars
Thank you so much for taking the time to produce such informative and educational videos.
You are so very welcome!
This video is great, but it would be great if you did an updated version of it because there are plenty of changes that have been made to the program, such as the Model environment is now called something else.
Yeah, I had to keep canceling and figuring some things out on my own. But in all, it was a really helpful video.
I just started sketching with fusion 360°, and this video is just perfect for me: excellent speach, grammar, topic structure, tips and best practices shown and a common sense aplyed, than no all the youtubers used to apply (they somehow think that everybody thinks the same way they do). I just feel this the way to make and upload tutorials. You just did an excellent job! I will click "like" and will suscribe rigth away.
Lars, I'm a recent subscriber to your channel. I'm so grateful for you taking time and teaching this. I cannot believe that anyone would click not like to any of your videos. Keep up the good work, I really have learned a lot from the three part beginners series. I'm new to Fusion and was a little intimidated at first, but your teaching makes the whole thing a joy to learn. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
We'll first thing I learned on this today was the newer version which I have doesn't refer to model anymore. It's now Design. I was able to follow along keeping in mind some things that are not the same but have the same outcome👍
Please revise to match the 2023 edition. Menus are not the same, easy to get lost trying to follow your otherwise excellent instruction! Thanks!
hello lars, thank you for creating this tutorial. it is really helpful. as a complete novice, i didnt know where to start with fusion 360, but after watching several of your videos, i think i am getting the hang of making a simple model similar in nature to your conduit. i suspect the fusion 360 interface has perhaps changed since 2016, but you covered all the key steps in a straightforward way and i'm really pleased with the progress i have made in a short time.
Thank you very much for your in-depth teaching! I gained some CAD knowledge in HS about 6 years ago and am starting to get back into it as a hobby. Based on this video, I look forward to using your other videos to get me back on track!
2020 quarantine skill learning, whoop whoop. appreciate the content!
Me too :D
Me three!
Any way you can do an updated video? I tried following this and I couldn't using the latest version.
Thank you for this ! I am totally new to Fusion and the best part/info was to explain that you sketch on planes or faces. Perfect!
thank you so much Lars! i will try using fusion for the first time this weekend and im so grateful for your tutorials!
Hi Lars, thanks for the great videos. This one seems to be very out of date based on the current version of Fusion 360 (12/17/2020). I hope you will consider revising this video series to make it useful again.
The version I'm using - 2.0.8412 on Windows 10 - doesn't have quite the same keystrokes, and this makes for some confusion, especially with Press Pull, where it appears you need to get into a kind of 3D view for it to work at all. In the upper left is a square that might say "TOP", and if you put your mouse in the cube and click+drag, you can change the perspective; then Q=Press Pull works as described.
Hi Lars I am a total beginner from Darkness in Denmark and have today been recommended to learn Fusion 360, and am glad that I came across your video so I can learn something from you.
After 40 hours with other software, I found this, I’ve learned more in the last two hours than last week’s nightmare. Big Thanks!
Thank you for this, We got a 3D printer in my lab not long ago, and the last 3D modeling I did was with 3D Studio Max, which is a very different type of 3D modeling, this helped immensely.
Awesome 👍😊
Watched this and managed to make a pretty intricate thing in Fusion 360 despite the difference in interface. Watch the video and use the core pieces of it.
I am learning fusion 360 and out of all the other videos yours has been the best, the way you explain the software is clear and not confusing keep it up. Definitely thumbs up.
Best tutorial I have seen. Amazing how much I learned in this short tutorial. I did 5 of the fusion360 tutorials and by the end was so confused I gave up because nothing worked and my settings were so screwed up it was beyond saving. I couldn´t make a box with rounded corners in over 3 hours using their tutorials. Altogether after almost 7 hours and 4 attempts and start overs I didn´t get as far as you just took me in 20 minutes and I actually understand what I did.
Even doing fusions own tutorials going step by step I end up lost because they don´t tell you what things do. They also assume you know what their terms and tiny symbols mean. Even just knowing you have to turn the lines from blue to black is not explained in their tutorials or what clicking those things does even though you use those relationship symbols in the tutorial. You just click buttons und hope you don´t accidentally click once to much because that will put it in the wrong one of 30 modes and you will never get back to the right place.
Newbie to Fusion 360 writing on 12/19/20. Helpful video, enjoy the slow pace. BUT... the video could use updating, because the menus and short cuts have changed in the past two years.
Although, having to search around to find the current location of the commands (particularly the shortcuts, which have changed) had its own value in familiarizing me with the menus and helping me find my way around.
Lars - could you re-make this series featuring the latest version of Fusion 360, please?
Thanks a lot for these videos. After going through ALL the basic tutorials one evening I found yours the next and in just two days from point zero I am able to create amazing stuff with incredible precision that is unthinkable with Tinkercad.
What a great tutorial, I've been using Fusion360 for about 4 weeks and have watched other videos, sadly most of those whizz through so quickly that they're a waste of time. Yours is brilliant, very well explained and easy to follow, with some very useful tips. Thank you.
You only forgot to tell press shift and hold roll mouse button. Awesome video.
THANKS
Thanks.
loved your advice on relationships, been having some trouble with my girlfriend and it helped alot. I've tied her down now and given her a bunch of rules and she seems happy this way!
Really nice! Concise, right to the point, no unnecessary small talk, different ways to come to solutions and pitfalls. Exactly what I needed! Right speed and no unmentioned clicks. Thank you very much! I am looking forward to listening to the other tutorials.

I need advertising and orders
Devil is in the details and you did a great job. A lot of videos show how to do something but I love that you explain each tool and why we use that tool. This gives a deeper explanation and better reinforcement of certain practices.
This is really helpful. The only issue is, I'm using the 2021 version so a lot of commands are no longer in the same place. Either way, it's a great introduction.
Additional comment: I tried drawing a line from the bottom upwards and it won't let me. If I move up and to an angle, the line only moves along the base and there's no way I can change it to create an angle.
im enjoying your videos but having difficulty cause the new version of fusion 360 the commands are different and I cant get passed the extrusion part. the "Q" command doesn't work for me and im stuck having a circle on my screen. getting discouraged. but i really want to learn this..
Many thanks for posting these videos. I know your name is shared by many who are learning 360. I think the pace and how you’ve divided the videos up is spot on.
You're a great instructor and I can't wait to watch more! Thanks
Fusion has changed since the video, but I figured it out. If you can't figure it out by pausing and searching you need to step back some. I am very new to this, ie: never touched CAD or modeling. Love the effort put in, on two part 2!
Love your accent. You have a great teaching voice. Can't wait to learn how to use this program. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much, Steve.
Thank you so much, Steve.
I just started learning Fusion 360 and i love this tutorial! Thank you!
Thank you Lars. I was used to CAD using Inventor and my curriculum changed to Fusion 360. PLTW's training for Inventor was great, but for Fusion 360 it was crap. Your video explained it so much better when coming over from Inventor.
great tutorial man I am making the jump from tinker cad to this. I am going to print the box (I made it along with you.) I am hoping that the quality is better! btw the fillet option WOW that's so cool and so much easier than joining transparent plains to whole ones. much more stable cause it's not in a browser
Same situation. I love tinkercad but it's time to move beyond
Great video! thanks!!
I have to say a big thank you to you Lars. A truly superb set of intro tutorials. Very professional and well presented. Thank you so much.
Wish I’d started learning 360 with this - it’s smart, apt and covers fundamentals. Thank you.
Every comment is from the past couple weeks. A lot of people must have gotten 3D printers this holiday season or something 😂
They are pretty cool. Prices aren't bad either. I think soon it will follow the paper printing market. Sell the machine fairly cheap. Make the money on the filament.
Hi, Great videos! but I think I'm right in saying that the current version (Oct 2019) has a new UI interface and the 'Model' mode is now dead and 'Desgn' mode replaces it. Using the old functionality UI has also been removed. That in mind the vids are still relevant.
After a traumatic brain injury, I have had to re-evaluate a lot of my life. Though looking at a screen is not the best for me I am able to take breaks as needed which was one of my reasons for focusing to get into the world of 3D printing. Most information is boring and you make it fun. I also appreciate that it is not "too simplified" as this has encouraged me to explore the program a little more to fill in the few gaps that I needed more explanation on. In just 48 hours I went from yelling at the screen in frustration to creating the thing that was in my head, better than my mind could think of. Thank you for, as you said, filling in the gaps that most other tutorials leave out, and keeping the videos shorter for those that do not want a lecture, yet still want to learn. It made going back to some of the more boring videos better since what they under explain you got just right. Mainly, best practices. Using Components to separate sketches and bodies has made working with this program much better for me.
Lars! you're the man! I just finished the 1st video and this is exactly what I was looking for. I you were recommended through a reddit post. You are a great teacher!
hi I am new to fusion 360 and having problems with the basics. when I set an offset in 2d it fully constrains (turns black), however if I extrude the object into 3d as lars did, when I select the plane, select create sketch, then offset, it does not fully constrain and stays blue, I would be greatful for your advice
This is the best video I've seen on the basics of Fusion 360! Subscribed.
I'm a Designer/Engineer and have had experience with computer software. However, the other people who have presented the basic training jump around or go through things assuming that someone is familiar with the software! Thanks, Lars!
BTW, are you originally from New England? Your accent sounds like Mass. or Rho-Disland.
I'm in NH and that dosent sound like a New England accent to me. I was guessing he's from Europe.
I just watched part 2 and he's pronouncing his "R's" and hasn't said "wicked" once haha
It's been awhile since I've watched these (as in a couple of years), and now that I have need I find that they still teach the basics really well, even though the software has evolved quite a bit.
Just started using Fusion 360 for designing things for my 3D printer. Your video is amazing. What a great place to start learning what looks like a complicated piece of software. Thank you.
So out of date for new (2020) users. But I"m sure it was good when it was current back then. Back to searching. Thanks!
It worked for me
That's what's so frustrating about this, learn it and walk away for 5 mins, they have changed it and need to learn all over again. Within the 1st 5 mins of the video, the "model" selection isn't there anymore!
@@bbjunkie1023 model = design.
Lars, I am a new comer to Fusion 360. Many years experience with Creo (Pro Engineer) but very little to Fusion 360. I have a start up question for you and in your beginner video you mention that in my Workspace it should say Model however my version says Design. Is this because it is a newer version or is there something more I need to do?
Yeah, because of update, design is right👍
Awesome tutorial for beginners! I recommend going through it more than once before moving on to a new tutorial. Good to learn and memorize functions before learning others. Thanks!
Thank you for this 3 part series. There are several good tutorial videos produced by different content creators but being able to follow along with you as you go through the steps to build the part was just awesome!! I was able to grasp several steps of the building process that I had been missing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
I am trying to learn Fusion 360 for personal use and it seems like there are significant differences between my version and the one Lars use. I.e. I can't offset the rectangle. I think.
Maybe need to update your tutorial? As the UI seems to be very different from this today.
Top first menu; selected “Model” on mine it’s “Design”. Then the origin looks different and is turned, half the items in the “Sketch Pallet” are missing. Typing’S’ brings up Design shortcuts and a search for the same item did not work out. Will have to see how much else is different….
Great help so far, thx shame one can’t follow through.
I've been messing around with 360 for a year or so now, just for fun, nothing important, but always had a problem with the "press pull" distorting features i wanted to keep. Thanks for such clear information.
