Hi Lars,
I came upon this video when I was working on a small project and began to realize I was having difficult managing what sketches went with what components. I had started out doing everything in the main component and then moved the bodies out to their own components. Now I fully understand the structure and realize why "Rule #1 exists."
Thanks for the great videos.Having you as a guide truly makes me want to delve deeper into Fusion360.
That is awesome to hear Scott Griswold .Thank you for watching the videos
I'm a retired SW user and Lars videos are so very helpful. At first Fusion 360 is like a foreign language. However it is becoming exciting moving forward.
After working with Fusion for over a year, I still need to rewatch so many of these awesome videos to fix confusions I have. Thank you so much for having all of these online.
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
Finally. I'm a beginner to Fusion 360 and I realized (again) the truth is "you" have to watch a lot of videos, tutorials, and do a lot of "own" work to get it (while during the process being utterly confused and totally convinced You'll never get it). The old quote "You can't make things easier than they are" fits this topic. Guess I was at the right point in my learning curve to fully appreciate this. Finally I have a mental picture of what assemblies, components and bodies are - what rule ONE actually means, and where sketches fit in and how you can make the most out of the time-line. And not to forget; if you share your design it will be easier to work with if rules are obeyed. Well done Sir.
Thank you 👍😊
Helped a lot, i love this guys attitude and always come back to his channel when i feel like taking a recap or learning something new. From all the material on youtube about fusion i think his material is the best.When i start up my fusion i always think of silly Lars and immediately get excited to start modelling. Still working my way through all your content so please don't stop uploading new content. Keep up the good work and being a great asset to autodesk!
Best description of differences I’ve seen, thanks so much.
These are the best F360 videos going.
This is my second or third time watching this. I use Inventor in my job, and I have years of technique I use that are not in any books. I am trying to use Fusion 360 because I have access to it through my subscription, and I have a boatload of time thanks to COVID19. I do cringe every time you say Inventor's way of doing things is old fashion. I suppose it is because I see advantages to some of what I can do in Inventor, that I haven't found a substitute way of doing in Fusion. I did check out the joint command in Inventor since I have no choice but to learn it in Fusion, and Inventors version isn't exactly the same, slightly less functionality. I believe I am far enough along now that I won't get discouraged and put Fusion back on the shelf. I couldn't have figured it out without your videos, so thanks for your time invested in making quality videos like this.
I really like basic lessons like this. I'm new to Fusion.
Great tutorial, thanks. Really would not have had a clue about this subject without such an explanatory video.
Explained perfectly. I recommend you to watch all the videos of Lars Christensen.
Thank you Lars! the best intro around. Instructive, useful, helpful. All's still relevant after 3 years! congratulations!
I think you did a great job explaining it simply and thoroughly. As someone who is a newbie at Fusion, it can be over-whelming. Thank you for making these videos for us to freely watch. Thumbs up.
Thank you for all of your tutorial videos on Fusion 360. You have good touch and sense on teaching. It is easy to jump to any of your tutorials as you explain all the things you do. I have spend numerous of hours watching your videos. Thumbs up !
That is so awesome to hear Jussi Kakko .Thank you for watching the videos!!
Hope you have an awesome day!
Man, you are the best! I just started a online course on Fusion last night and the instructor reference to your vids and I glad I look at your channel. You explain it very well I understand perfectly what you said and I more encouraged now about creating 3D models. It took just this video for you to show me the big big potential and power this software have, and same applies to your channel. I will be learning from you too. Thank you very much. Keep doing this please and let me know if there anything I can do to help you.
Blessings
Always love your videos, you are a great teacher. Thank you!
Lars,
Excellent explanation of an intrinsically confusing aspect of Fusion 360 workflow.
In my limited experience with this software, one needs to follow along using two screens. One screen running your tutorial, the other running Fusion 360 to replicate your explanation on. Seeing, listening and doing works well, at least for me.
Thanks again, Bob
Thank you. This makes Fusion make way more sense. I was missing something big coming from AutoCAD and I knew it, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. This will help me be way more proficient with Fusion 360!
Love your videos. When I get stuck at something, I can always scan through your clips and find the tip to solve my issue. :)
Great work!
Dam I cant stop watching these nor get caught up
An extremely helpful tutorial for a complete newbie! Thank you so much! 💝
G'day Lars. I was put onto your videos by a friend and have spent the last 2 days watching them. You sir, are a legend. I started with 123D Design, and probably because of that, have not been using F360 to anywhere near its full potential. I've learnt more in a couple of days watching your videos than I've figured out in the last 12 months. Thanks very much for your work and the way you present your information.
That is awesome to hear Craig B .Thank you for watching the videos
I watched this video after watching one of your earlier tutorials on the same topic and it all makes sense now. Good job 👍🏻😎🇦🇺
Thank you for the quality and clarity. You have made me a Fusion360 fan.
Thanks Lars. Was confused about components but this has made it clear for me. Excellent.
Thanks Lars. I have been working as a design engineer for 18 years in several different 3D software. SolidWorks for the last 5 years. I've just now started learning Fusion on my spare time and you make the transition alot easier with all your videos :)
Regards Morten from Norway
This actually clears things up for me from the 2016 version of this explanation - so thnak you!
You help me out much. I spend more time with you then my wife and kids, HaHa. Others can learn how to do videos from you. I had a lot of trouble with bodies and components until I watched your video several times. You crack me up some times. Thank you.
Lars! You are the MAN!! Thank you for explain so many of my questions in one video. So much help!
Five year video...and its still very useful👍👍👍
Rule # 1 always make new component. then save. and always know what component is active and which one your are working on. Do this always. Make it a habit. It will serve you well
Thank you very much for the help! Needed this to make drawings for each components of a big structure.
Now I understand difference. Very good explained. You are a very good teacher.
You might mention that you can re-name bodies and components. By default they get named Body1, Body2, ... Component1, Component2.. etc. as you create them . But you can left click on the name (e,g. on Body1), then left-click again on the name and it will let you give it the name you want, like "Cover", "Main Cylinder", "Handle", etc. I've found that this really helps me keep track of what's what. I even rename the sketches in the same way.
I think it would be nice if you could RIGHT-click on the name of a body or component and there would be a RENAME option in the drop-list that appears, but there doesn't appear to be that way to do it.
Hi Roger Garrett Thank you for watching! ANd thank you for the great comment. Good habit!!
Great! Very useful given I'm a newbie to not only Fusion but CAD as well. Long time Sketchup user but now taking the full-on plunge!
Thank you Lars. You are my Teacher for Fusion and I feel very lucky!

Thanks! Your presentation helped me make sense out of many issues.
Man, you are a really great teacher. Thank you very much.
Great job. I was confused by bodies, sketches and components but now I'm clear.
Your explanation was very clear and concise. I enjoyed the video. Thanks!
Your explanation style is amazing! You fit in the critical missing pieces of a jigsaw puzzle! Keep making such videos!
That is awesome to hear Tushar Gurjar .Thank you for watching the videos
Thanks! So very useful to have such a clear and easy going orientation.
Thanks. That was helpful. Just starting out and just seeing someone doing this has clarified questions I didn't even know I had yet. So yeah, solved a lot of problems before they happened. You earned a sub for this. :)

Just beginning to learn Fusion 360 and the Body/Component was confusing. It isn't anymore!! Thank you for a great video.
Fantastic work at explaining this with the flow and details that help understanding it easier. Thank you for sharing your experience with new users.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lars you are AWESOME! I enjoy your passion & instruction. I always learn from you. PLEASE keep up the good work for the Fusion Team. If you are ever in Chattanooga TN, I'd like to take you to dinner & talk CAD/CAM.
Hi J Hanevich Thank you for watching!ANd comment!!
I will take you up on that invitation :-)
Best,
Lars
I have one thing to say. Nice J.O.B. Thank You!!!!!
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
Great job, learned a lot
18:15 when you want to use components vs bodies
Doing God's work, thanks!
Lars this was great! But next i'd love to hear about:
1)when to use groups.
2)When to use copies of components vs bodies.(when does one update changes based on the reference part vs when is one its own unique component/body) this brings up component vs unique component....when do i use that.
This was a great start though!
Hi Danny Symansky Thank you for watching! Great comment!! Will have to address that!!
Best,
Lars
Good job Lars, very informative
Finally I know the difference thanks a lot!!!!!😀😀
Thumbs up, Lars ! Good job !
Great tutorials - I am learning a lot!
Awesome to hear 👍😊
