00:00:00,590 --> 00:00:02,690
Welcome to the second video module two.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:08,720
In this video, we will look deeper into the Fusion 360 interface and I will show you the basic document

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:09,740
and workspace settings.

4
00:00:10,490 --> 00:00:12,920
You can alter these settings based on your preferences.

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:13,850
Let's go.

6
00:00:16,340 --> 00:00:20,240
We are first going to take a look at the document settings infusion 360.

7
00:00:21,770 --> 00:00:28,670
To access the basic document settings, click on this arrow here, which will open up a dropdown here,

8
00:00:28,670 --> 00:00:31,100
you can see my units are set to MM.

9
00:00:31,610 --> 00:00:36,590
However, I can change them by clicking on this button here that says Change active units.

10
00:00:37,580 --> 00:00:40,430
Once I click on this, it opens this fall box here.

11
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:48,650
Now I prefer using MM because I like the metric system, and millimeters are also the most widely accepted

12
00:00:48,650 --> 00:00:50,210
and used in the design world.

13
00:00:51,140 --> 00:00:54,110
However, based on your preferences, you can change it.

14
00:00:54,710 --> 00:01:00,080
Fusion offers us five options centimeters, millimeters, meters, inches and feet.

15
00:01:02,620 --> 00:01:05,770
Now you can also access more advanced document settings.

16
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,860
You can right click on this button up here that says document settings, which puts up a massive drop

17
00:01:11,860 --> 00:01:13,870
down of multiple settings.

18
00:01:14,710 --> 00:01:20,980
Now, when you right click on top document settings, you alter those settings for your entire design.

19
00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:27,460
However, if you want to alter your settings for individual bodies, you can also right click here and

20
00:01:27,460 --> 00:01:29,590
you can see the same options appear here.

21
00:01:31,450 --> 00:01:38,230
Now you can move, create components, add physical materials appearances, but we'll get those in a

22
00:01:38,230 --> 00:01:38,860
later video.

23
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,890
Let's take a look at the simpler ones you can show or hide a body.

24
00:01:45,580 --> 00:01:47,410
You can use this button or just type B.

25
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,430
So as you can see, my body has disappeared.

26
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:58,000
Now you can right click again and click on Show Hide, which will bring back my material.

27
00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:02,350
A shorter way of doing that is clicking on this eye right here.

28
00:02:03,220 --> 00:02:08,500
Clicking at once turns it off and then bringing it back shows the design.

29
00:02:10,020 --> 00:02:12,690
Now, other settings are opacity control.

30
00:02:13,290 --> 00:02:19,340
Now, if I want to change the opacity, fusion offers us 10 presets, but use 50.

31
00:02:19,410 --> 00:02:22,260
You can see my design comes translucent.

32
00:02:24,020 --> 00:02:27,440
So these are the basic document settings in Fusion 360.

33
00:02:27,980 --> 00:02:29,360
Let's move on to the next section.

34
00:02:31,230 --> 00:02:36,060
Now that we have looked at the document settings, it is time to explore the workspace settings of the

35
00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:36,540
software.

36
00:02:37,290 --> 00:02:39,330
These can be found at the bottom of your screen.

37
00:02:40,260 --> 00:02:43,230
These settings allow you to alter the way your bodies and grid look.

38
00:02:43,650 --> 00:02:44,400
Let's take a look.

39
00:02:45,780 --> 00:02:48,720
The workspace settings can be found at the bottom of your screen.

40
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:50,820
Let's run through each of them.

41
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,710
Firstly, we have orbit.

42
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:58,500
Orbit allows you to freely rotate your design in any direction.

43
00:03:00,490 --> 00:03:06,460
Now you can also use the view cute rotated, but you don't get as much freedom as when you're using

44
00:03:06,460 --> 00:03:06,850
orbit.

45
00:03:10,180 --> 00:03:14,020
Now we have two types of orbits free orbit, unconstrained orbit.

46
00:03:14,830 --> 00:03:20,980
As the name suggests, free orbit allows you to rotate the design in any direction and you have a great

47
00:03:20,980 --> 00:03:21,820
range of motion.

48
00:03:22,660 --> 00:03:28,510
However, constrained orbit, on the other hand, does not allow you to rotate in all directions and

49
00:03:28,510 --> 00:03:30,700
you have a smaller range of motion.

50
00:03:32,210 --> 00:03:36,890
Now, once you have the orbital selected, you can just click on Escape to disable the function.

51
00:03:38,970 --> 00:03:45,240
The next tool we are going to look at is the pan to the pan tool is really useful when you're working

52
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,710
on a very large design.

53
00:03:48,190 --> 00:03:54,520
What Pan allows you to do is move throughout your workspace without rotating any of the bodies.

54
00:03:55,740 --> 00:04:02,310
Which means that you can just drag and click to go from one part of a design to the other without rotating

55
00:04:02,310 --> 00:04:02,850
or moving it.

56
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,290
The next tool we have is Zoom.

57
00:04:07,460 --> 00:04:14,780
So Fusion gives us this two way arrow here, we can drag it in both directions to zoom in or zoom out

58
00:04:14,780 --> 00:04:15,500
on redesign.

59
00:04:18,630 --> 00:04:20,760
Again, you can click escaped to disable function.

60
00:04:22,230 --> 00:04:24,120
We then have our display settings.

61
00:04:25,130 --> 00:04:27,290
Let's look at the visual style options.

62
00:04:28,340 --> 00:04:32,840
So the visual style basically determines what our 3D bodies look like.

63
00:04:33,380 --> 00:04:38,150
So shaded would look like this and the edges are not highlighted.

64
00:04:39,970 --> 00:04:47,980
Shaded with edges shows the edges at the back edges you would probably not be able to see from this

65
00:04:47,980 --> 00:04:48,280
view.

66
00:04:50,610 --> 00:04:56,670
Shaded with visible edges only, this is default and what I use most of the time, which only shows

67
00:04:56,670 --> 00:05:02,790
the edges you would probably be able to see when you're looking at an object from a certain angle.

68
00:05:04,020 --> 00:05:09,360
I find this really useful because it shows me what an object will look like in real life, and hence

69
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,560
I use this the most often.

70
00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:16,710
Finally, we have the same options for wireframes, I'm not going to run through all of them, but I'm

71
00:05:16,710 --> 00:05:19,200
just going to show you what the life looks like.

72
00:05:20,460 --> 00:05:24,270
So it basically shows you a transparent version of your body.

73
00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:30,330
This can be really useful when working with certain types of designs or if you have some detail at the

74
00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:33,540
back and you don't want to rotate all the way around to see it.

75
00:05:36,010 --> 00:05:39,790
So these are your visual style settings.

76
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,520
Now let's look at our grid settings, your layout great.

77
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:46,930
You can turn it on or off.

78
00:05:47,230 --> 00:05:51,730
I would recommend keeping it on because it really helps when sketching.

79
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,150
Snap to grid, which basically means that whenever you're creating a sketch, your lines or points will

80
00:06:00,150 --> 00:06:06,090
be mapped to the nearest grid point instead of being free flowing, which again, I find really useful.

81
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,120
So I believe it.

82
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:16,080
You can also look at the advanced grid settings you can choose whether you want your grid to be adaptive

83
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:16,800
or fixed.

84
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:24,270
I keep it selected on adopted because then my grid changes as I zoom in or out, which is really useful.

85
00:06:25,110 --> 00:06:30,060
And finally, we have reference numbers which we can turn on or off.

86
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:36,770
I would again recommend keeping it on because it shows you the various distances in your workspace while

87
00:06:36,780 --> 00:06:40,080
sketching, and that gives you a good reference point.

88
00:06:42,110 --> 00:06:45,440
So those are all the workspace settings you need to know.

89
00:06:45,980 --> 00:06:47,990
Let's move on to the next section of this video.

90
00:06:49,860 --> 00:06:53,730
We will finally explore in detail the value and origin settings.

91
00:06:54,450 --> 00:06:55,800
These are extremely important.

92
00:06:56,010 --> 00:06:57,420
So remember to pay attention.

93
00:06:58,830 --> 00:07:02,850
Let's take a look at the View Q, which is located at the top right of your screen.

94
00:07:03,910 --> 00:07:07,960
Now you can use this view cube to rotate between different views.

95
00:07:09,860 --> 00:07:15,110
Now you can either use it to rotate or use the various presets that it provides you.

96
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:22,930
So I can change to the front view, the view between front and top, a corner view, et cetera.

97
00:07:25,450 --> 00:07:31,960
The small button beside The View Cube is the home button, which takes me to the default view.

98
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:38,260
So currently this corner between the top front and right sides is set as my.

99
00:07:39,370 --> 00:07:47,590
Default home now, currently on the front view, and as I click on home, it'll take me to my default

100
00:07:47,590 --> 00:07:47,860
view.

101
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,310
Now, there are some few settings that you can access by right clicking on this.

102
00:07:55,570 --> 00:07:57,490
Which provides you with multiple options.

103
00:07:58,060 --> 00:08:03,940
Firstly, let's look at our view options, we have orthographic perspective and perspective, but also

104
00:08:03,940 --> 00:08:04,420
faces.

105
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,820
We are currently on orthographic.

106
00:08:08,350 --> 00:08:13,420
This view is what a lot of designers use when creating sketches or creating designs.

107
00:08:14,050 --> 00:08:19,300
This is not how you see things in real life, but it's just a designer's representation.

108
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:29,500
Note that in orthographic views, all of these lines are at a 30 degree angle to the horizontal line.

109
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,230
The other view we have is perspective, which is how we see things in real life.

110
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:44,390
It is large to the center, and as you can see, everything just moves sideways onto a single point,

111
00:08:44,390 --> 00:08:45,650
which is what perspective is.

112
00:08:47,810 --> 00:08:53,510
And the third option we have is perspective with orthographic faces, which means that in most views,

113
00:08:53,510 --> 00:08:54,770
you will see it in perspective.

114
00:08:55,070 --> 00:08:57,920
Apart from the six faith views.

115
00:08:58,460 --> 00:09:02,180
So we are in the front phase and it has changed to orthographic.

116
00:09:03,260 --> 00:09:07,460
However, if we switch this view, it's become it becomes perspective again.

117
00:09:08,900 --> 00:09:11,120
So those are your TV options.

118
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,320
You can also set a different view as your home view.

119
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,890
So say I want my front view to be my home view.

120
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,490
I can right click and set current view as home.

121
00:09:23,300 --> 00:09:29,120
Now we can either do fixed distance or fit to view fixed distance will keep it at this particular distance

122
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:30,710
and fit to view will.

123
00:09:32,290 --> 00:09:36,070
Zoomed in as much as it can to fit it on the entire screen.

124
00:09:37,290 --> 00:09:42,000
So now, if I click on home, it'll take me to the front office.

125
00:09:43,470 --> 00:09:47,670
You can also reset home, which will take home back to the default view.

126
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,680
So those are your YouTube options.

127
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,140
Now let's look at our origin settings.

128
00:09:56,410 --> 00:09:59,680
I will turn this body off so that you can see it better.

129
00:10:01,610 --> 00:10:03,800
Now I can turn on my origin here.

130
00:10:04,870 --> 00:10:07,960
And if I open the drop down, you can see we have our center.

131
00:10:09,170 --> 00:10:16,220
Our x axis, y axis and z axis and our three planned your x y z and y'see.

132
00:10:17,810 --> 00:10:22,940
Now you can leave the origin on, but I personally turned it off because I find it quite distracting.

133
00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:29,930
Fusion automatically turns this origin on when you're working with a sketch which allows you to then

134
00:10:29,930 --> 00:10:31,160
choose a plane to sketch on.

135
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,720
So those are your view, Cuba and origin settings in View 360.

136
00:10:39,340 --> 00:10:42,760
You can change these settings anytime, according to your preferences.

137
00:10:43,570 --> 00:10:48,670
Make sure you have understood all these settings as we will return to some of these at certain stages

138
00:10:48,670 --> 00:10:49,420
to this course.

139
00:10:50,650 --> 00:10:56,260
The next video will be fun as we will explore the Fusion 360 toolbar where all the exciting stuff happens

140
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:57,280
to either.
