      I would get frustrated too until I paid close attention to what process is selected when I do an extrusion. If you plan to extrude a Body and it switches to Join, moral will be low when you try to lay all the parts flat on the X and Y plain to cut on a plasma table. Thanks for watching.

    To revise the joining bodies when you forget to select create new body, just go in and edit the extrude function on the bottom toolbar for that body and you can change it to "new body" there. No need to edit undo for something like that.

    Have a look into the assemble tool panel>>rigid joint (on solid tools, where you did most of your work). Makes it super easy to line up parts (like for the part you wanted to bend).
    Also, I know the video is 5 months old now, but fusion introduced part nesting to simplify arranging things for manufacture. Gotta enable a couple options in settings, but you're better off googling a tutorial than trying to read anything I'll try to explain here. Game changer.

It is more arts and crafts than science and math.

  • @CraigHollabaugh
    @CraigHollabaugh 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice video. Here are some modeling techniques for you to incorporation into your workflow.
    0. before you start, you might need to add "3 point rectangle to the the toolbar" if its missing
    0. set your document setting units, for my 3D printing work I use mm, for my plasma cutting I use inches
    0. create a component to work inside of. in this case, you'd created a "swingarm" component. critical if you want to create assemblies later
    1. use parameters under modify to set width, length, height, stock thickness, bearing diameter etc
    2. create first sketch on different plane so top is top, right is right, etc.
    3. draw half of it on a sketch, one outside edge and its nearest rib, extrude using your parameter height, then mirror those bodies using a origin plane as the mirror plane
    a. add dimensions to your rectangle endpoints using your parameters as distances
    4. don't move your parts into a flat plane in the design workspace, do this later
    5. in manufacturing workspace, learn to use the "arrange" operation. see th-cam.com/video/7egLufCg5tk/w-d-xo.html
    a. arrange requires components not bodies, in the design workspace, go back design workspace, select all bodies, right click to select "create components from bodies"
    If you use parameters to set everything, then use dimensions and constraints with your parameters, your can simply change a parameter and your entire design will change automagically. Also, parameters as well as dimensions accept equations. I set my stock thickness parameter to "1/8", then let fusion calculate 0.125.
    Other tips
    a. when moving bodies, change the "move type" to 4th icon over (shows point, arrow, point), then select the points on the bodies to move to.
    b. during the move operation, selecting points is often difficult to hit the corners, move over a the surface to highlight all the corners, then hold down ctrl key to restrict points to only that surface
    c. you don't have to rollback your history to edit something in the past, just right click on the history icon and select edit
    d. investigate the 'project' operation when sketching
    e. you don't have to create a construction line on an axis, make the origin visible, then you can always see the x, y, and z axis and the origin 3 planes.
    These are 3D modeling items I learned over time. Thanks for the video, glad to see your CFP, torch, Fusion 360 work in action. Your "in the field" video clip set the entire tone of this video. Nice editing, content, audio production here as well.

      0; I find using mm is always easier on a CNC :) No odd fractions to deal with, everything is just a number especially if you have to sum or multiply.
      0; Yeah, Fusion 360 R.U.L.E #1
      1; absolutely totally agree, Fusions' parameter feature is a little crude but it still allows you to specify formulas etc like you explain later
      4; 5; fair; honestly what Mr. Dave describes here is already so much better than what most people do, it's still a good step in the right direction for a beginner.

    • @CraigHollabaugh
      @CraigHollabaugh 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@AlessioSangalli Oh, I agree. Mr. Dave does a great job. I watched this video twice. Fusion's arrange functionality is relatively new. He made the point of using stock he had around. Constraining the arrange to a sketch allows him to define oddly shaped stock in the sketch, then let fusion optimize part placement. One thing I didn't mention, was the top bend using his press brake. His approach may result in the bent part not being quite big enough due to bend radius. I'm not experienced with fusion's sheet metal tool to comment further here, but the CAD solution exists for this issue as well. Then when/if he changes parameters, everything adjusts.

    • @rob2k1
      @rob2k1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It seems the Arrange feature is only available in the paid version. I suggest creating a manufacturing model found in the manufacturing workspace under setup. You can move the bodies or components as need for cutting and any changes made in the design workspace will carry over to the manufacture model automatically.

    Mr Dave, it was very late last night when I watched this Video. So let me write some comments now:
    - this is so much better than the Langmuir videos. Of course, they mostly go over the tedious parts of the basic setup in order to make the machine cut, but this video goes over something "real", in particular the transition between a 3D design and the flattened representation is SO important, yet most people that own and operate this system are NOT making use of it. It's a shame Langmuir does not have videos like the ones you are making right now.
    - I was REALLY expecting you to show these parts to be cut on the plasma table and then bent on the press at the end of the video. Come on :D :D :D all theory and no practice today? :D :D :D
    - about the bent part, if you just make it like that it will not take into account metal stretching on the bend line - why not use Fusion's sheetmetal environment?
    - the system begs to define a name parameter at least for the thickness of the stock material (modify - change parameters)
