- Whether you are using the free personal license or the paid license of Fusion 360 you are capable of importing .stl files into the software and modify them using the vast array of tools. Check the video to find the steps how
Perfect. Thanks for this video. You show the updated (2021) method, AND you differentiate between the Personal and paid versions. I also appreciated the "here are some of the difficulties you'll have with a million facets." 5 well-spent minutes.
Completely agree - I don't do it often, but there is a lot of noise on this subject. Thx for making one that was modern and clear! Subscribed... :)
Thank you for being concise and informative with no bumbling around. I'd be a f360 master by now if all other tutorials were this good
Great video! Several others on TH-cam weren’t right but this was!
Thanks for a simple and to the point tutorial! Keep up the good work.
Thank you! Hope this helped!
@@OverExtrudedPhysicist Can i reconstruct STL files in real time?
I want to export geometry in STL format that includes parametric models and i want to know if i can do it in real time, while the optimaziation loop is running.

Nice video, just what I was looking for without all the unasked info. Good job.
This is just what I was looking for. Thank you.
You deserve much more viewers! Thank you.
this video has been extremally helpful! thank you!
Exactly what I was looking for.
Exactly what I needed, just wanted to add a couple fillets to some weak tabs on a thingiverse model - perfect
This was very helpful, thanks!
Finally a way to do that..thanks a bunch to post up this video.
Glad it helped! Took me a long time to figure this out too
Great video. Helped me out.
Thinking about it, I never turned back on ‘capture history’. Once you’ve converted the mesh, can you switch it back on?
Very helpful! Thanks!
Good rundown! Just out of curiosity, why do you select "do not to capture version history" when inserting the mesh? Seems to work fine leaving this enabled, plus you can go back and modify things once they're added.
Brilliant ,thanks very much , id deleted in fusion but had in cura , just the job .
Rhino works really well, too.
This was really helpful. Could you do a video on how to add a lip to a rounded edge? I can send you an example STL file I would love to edit. Its super simple but I can't figure it out.
Thanks for that vid! Learned somthing.. Hahaha peace man!
Stellar is a great project!
Thanks for the great information! For some reason when I do this, it makes a hollow body. Any suggestions?
Great Vid, Ty!
awesome thank you
You have a good tuturial voice
Thanks a lot 🥰
Bro you can generate face groups in the mesh tab
when I select two different faces on the same plane to merge them and press delete it deletes the whole block. Any idea why?
THANK YOU!
Wonder if you could add a sketch to the top of that radius then add filet? Im just learning & have watched many videos but still don't have much hands on experience
Thank you.
Thanks for the video...I have the free personal license. I don't see the option to "Convert Mesh" in my Mesh drop down menu. I turned off history. Thoughts? Thanks again!
You got it Mark, glad you are checking this out. Same thing happened to me. On the top of the page be sure you have the "Mesh" tab selected. It defaults to be on the design tab. Hopefully this helps
Thanks for this video. You never demonstrated the prismatic option. That would have been good to see. I also found that generating face groups on the mesh can make this easier, as you can select an entire face group to modify/delete faces etc. May be worth doing a video on that? I remember using it to separate a mesh of a helmet into parts, so it could be printed on a smaller printer.
he doesn't have a paid version as he mentioned in the video.
@@waikryder6633 correct, but he did say he would demonstrate it and show the difference. You can download the full version as a trial. Either way, it would have good to see the difference.
I guess it's just me but i like a bit more detail on how to resolve the triangle issue with the free version. You showed what happened to your object but not how you fix it to make it look the way you want.
After hours of struggle I still can't put 2 screw holes on my model not sure what went wrong but decided it's time to pull out the impact drill and angle grinder. Quick and simple. Sometimes things just gotta be done in conventional ways. Probably come back a couple years and see if the problem will fix itself.
Great video but I’m having an issue with making the item thicker it won’t let me select the roght face when it’s a rounded face, any ideas?
Thanks
I imported the mesh converted it but it won’t let me do anything, I can only select one face at a time, so I can’t combine faces… extruding or splitting bodies doesn’t work… frustration 360…
I want to define a measurement length and have the rest of the object scale to that dimension. How would I do that?
I am trying to make a knob for a lamp and i have it as an STL file and i need to close the tube and enlarge the diameter size of the tube extending from the key that holds it. when i printed it and tried to use it the tube just split apart so i just want to make it thicker and inside dimension thinner so it fits on the threads of the lamp. i tried to attach the STL file but it wont let me
I'm just curious why you decided to not save history?
I would be nice if they could like, update fusion to run properly and not keep crashing when I try to delete faces on flat surfaces.
why didn't you use generate face groups before converting
Hi is it possible to change the proportions of the design as i want to print a go pro mount for my miata but the one available isnt long enough to clear my sunstrip lol
You should be able to do that. If you choose "Scale" you can adjust it by a percentage. If it's easier you can do the same thing in Tinkercad super easily
@OverExtrudedPhysicist so i can increase just the length with scale
How do I get accurate orthographic drawings from these faceted models?
Watch at 1.5 speed for Ben Shapiro
But 4 real thank you for being concise
thats exactly what i did xD BEN HAHAHA
Sounds exactly like lol
FYI, I have the paid version and using prismatic option failed as there are over 10k triangles (on my model) I guess my $500 a year copy didn't pay for itself this time!
So, what do I do when I convert the mesh and it makes the file literally tens of thousands of small triangles and it crashes my pc? Lol.
Use Blender, instead! LOL :D
HELP.. i made a 3d mesh that is such a large file , that i can get it to upload into mesh mixer.. how can i reduce the size in order to even get it into programs like MESHMIXER and my SLICER.
You can reach 👆he can help out
1:19 You have outdated information in your video. After the July updates, work with meshes is built into the timeline. Now you do not need to turn off the history to convert to solid.
Thank you very much, when I made the video this worked. Maybe I'll copy your comment into the description for people to see
@@OverExtrudedPhysicist direct editing mode without history and conversion in this mode is still working. he did not disappear anywhere. but now you not be limited to them im mesh object. now there are a lot of videos about the July changes to working with the mesh.
I selected multiple facets on the same plane, press delete, and it DELETES the face, it doesn't combine. what's the issue?
when I press Del, it remove body instead of reduce trinagles
Me too. Did you figure out why?
Ok I looked under SELECT > Selection Filters and I had "'Select Through" selected so it was grabbing more than just the surface. I unchecked Select Through and now it just selects the surface I'm clicking and delete will repair, instead of deleting a hole through my object.
how is he combining the triangles again
I cannot follow this because my Autodesk Fusion 360 (Personal - Not for Commercial Use) does not look like your environment. I don't know if it's because it is 2022 and changes have been made or my desktop is not configured like yours. The instruction was very straight forward and I just don't get the screens you use. Thanks anyway.
Darn sorry Mark...I just checked my Fusion360 and it's the same as my video. Maybe I just haven't manually updated it. Looks like I revised version is needed! Thanks
@@OverExtrudedPhysicist I did some reviewing and it turns out it was a mistake on my part. I saw that there was a mesh tab right above a mesh button on a different tab. When I pressed the mesh tab the same icons in your video showed. So it's good 👍
I'm just frustrated cuz a guy sent me a drawing file and it's hollow and I can't get an infill to take and I've tried repairing it doing different things and and I don't know why his solid drawing doesn't have substance to it. I've even loaded fusion 360 to try to repair it to no avail. I use freecad. In my working life I used autocad and solid works so I'm not a novice.🤷
Wait a minute... You have 160 subscribers.. And i got 2 adds on this video... Howwwwwww?????
Really? That's jacked up, I should get some of that cheddar! haha. Not really, but seriously that sucks
@@OverExtrudedPhysicist did you got any copyright claim? 😢
@@InfinityWorkshop No I didn't haha. YT ripping me off from these sweet sweet views
I don’t use auto desk but use rhino app for editing. Don’t really trust the app could make that curve angle right, I usually swipe a curved string into a surface, and use the surface to cut the extra piece, put them together into a solid piece…
mine wont delete
Havent watch yet. Standing in toilet. Waiting to flush toilet. Lol.
When I delete the triangles, they just leave a hole instead of fill. Any idea why? or i get an error saying cannot delete individual faces.
You're most likely under the surface tab, wherein deleting a face converts the body to a surface body, indicated by an orange icon in the design tree on the left of your screen.
Make sure you go back to the first tab before trying to delete any faces.
