Kinda learning as I go here so any recommendations to helpful directions and tips would be appreciated 👏

Making a small cooler for a diorama style thing, and have the PERFECT filament to show ice cubes inside, but u sire how to get "pile of cubes" as a surface. Just a lot of cube sketches and extrude? Or is there an easier way?

This is a quick speed through modeling for how I make twisted cables in Fusion. The key ingredient is a sweep surface with a twist great there 360 degrees. (I usually go 600 degrees). When the sleep is modeled, just connect the sweep to the cable terminations points with a 3D spline and use the tangent constrains to the sweep. Done! :)

Hi!

I have to bodies that are independently positioned, then I need to connect them so that the whole thing becomes one "plate". What I've done so far is creating some sketches on the edges, then lofting (see last picture for an example). Is there any other ways that are suitable to do this? :) Feel like there are several ways of doing this that I haven't explored.

any tutorial to create step file from stl file ?

I keep seeing people model in Fusion and then move the same product into Blender, KeyShot or something else to make the final visuals.

For those of you who do that: what are you getting on the other side that makes the extra workflow worth it?

I’m especially curious about cases where it’s not just one final render, but the same CAD turns into lots of views, material/color variants, comparisons or review material that still needs to stay connected to the product.

I used to work on KeyShot and now build visualization software myself, so I’m genuinely curious where people feel Fusion stops being enough.

A quick question, does anybody know why the Fusion 360 continues to run in the background in macOS after I quit the app? I have to right-click on the icon and select stop each time.

You can see a gray dot under the app icon, and when I hover the mouse it says "running in background". There's no reason for it to do so, I haven't even opened a file. It simply refuses to quit, and keep running like this for hours if I let it.

im using the combine tool but instead of combing two bodies box and hinge where box is the main body it just changes the name of hinge into box(1) how do i fix that? the bodies are touching i made sure of it but it still wont work. non boxes are checked i switched to connect in option. i would add a stl file but i cant in reddit

Need this part made and need to define on what diameter and angle the stray holes are located. I sketched the construction lines inside the drawing environment but it won't let me put a diameter on them with the (D) dimension command. Also I can't figure out how to put angles and lines inside the drawing environment. Any recommendations?

machining starts tomorrow! these will be machined on 3” pink extruded polystyrene. the dimensions of each panel will be 5’2” x 6’9”! now to get it cut and then painted for an art commission for display on the the executive floor at the company headquarters!

i taught myself how to put this all together, definitely ran into a couple bumps but figured it out through some tutorials and replies on this sub!

thanks for all the help!

You see how it's very wavy towards the back Is there some way i can fix it. PS this is my first time on fusion I mainly followed tutorials

I've got a 1.5deg draft on a 100m high true cylinder, can't turn, has to be milled, simple resin mould so tolerance can be be pretty low. Used Fusion Manufacturing but am getting the inevitable juddering between segments on the Haas because it doesn't have the HSM option. Tried G187 P3 on the Haas which helped a little.

Fusion: can I force (in cycle or post) G2/3 output rather than G1? What's the other options for creating a smoother path?

Haas: Are there other options for smoothing the G1 segment transitions?

Cheers

I've tried the loft function with both the perpendicular faces, but it fails saying the loft would intersect itself.

By the "vertical curved face being shortened", I am referring to the difference between pictures 1 & 2.

Thanks!

EDIT: SOLVED.

im trying to change a sheet metal part from 4mm to 6mm and Fusion keeps crashing, thought it was my model at first but it does it in a completely blank design too, just a basic rectangular plate and opening/editing the sheet metal rules

on an Apple Silicon Mac, Fusion 2705.1.30, ive tried restarting, Repair and Reset through the Service Utility, making a new rule, changing the Rosetta setting and a full uninstall and fresh reinstall.. still doing it

pretty over it at this point, just trying to get back to designing. ive opened a case with Autodesk but wondering if anyone here can reproduce it or has found a workaround?

This is the most recent example of irregular or curved corners that i want to fillet, and i cant figure out how to get it to work without running into crossing body problems and whatnot. Additionally, you can see a sketch for the approximate shape I want to have on the inner corner. I've tried Sweep as well and run into the same issue. Why am I stupid and how do I not be?

Can some soul help me renewing my license for personal use or tell me if s/he had the same problems and how to solve it?

It’s my second renewal (already renewed a year ago) so I know it can only be done 30 days before expiration earliest and only via the specific page for personal use, but it’s not working. Fusion still says “license will expire in 10 days”, my account in the web browser says the same and even a complete new installation on different machines (Mac and Windows) doesn’t help. Any ideas?

When even trying to create a 2 point rectangle I cant seem to be able to switch between the two length and width dimension boxes. The tab key isnt doing anything and when I try to use the mouse it just moves the other one and I cant ever click on it. Once I click out of the sketch I cant adjust any part of it? All the tutorials just say to use tab, but it does nothing for me. Am I missing something?

Say I have a Shapeoko CNC router, and want to cut a 1" diameter circular hole out of a piece of polycarb with a 1/4" bit.

What's the best practice here? Should I utilize a Bore operation or a 2D Contour operation?

I am working on updating the motor mounts on this drone to something a bit more robust for 3D printing. the new motor mounts also include a landing feature so the motor pods wont contact the ground. I needed to make an animation to help describe the changes. Let's see if you can spot the old ones and the new ones :). Also, here is a study of the new motor mount modeling: https://youtu.be/GTxPWL-vqb4

P.S. All animation was created in Autodesk Fusion :)

Can these 2 shapes be combined to leave the right hand part subtracted from the left hand part? In other words making the right hand part retain it's shape whilst adding the square part to the shape?
