Welcome to Module three in this section, we will take a look at sketching Infusion 360 sketching is
the first step of the product design process.
These sketches will then allow us to create and modify 3D bodies.
In the first video, we will go through the basics of sketching, including the sketching panel.
The toolbar sketching plans and how to create basic shapes.
Let's now take a look at this catching panel, this panel only appears when you're creating a new sketch
or editing a previous one.
So let's click on Create Sketch up here.
I'll choose the bottom line.
And as you can see, our sketch colored or sketch panel has appeared here.
Within this panel, we have a bunch of options, which I will show, you know, firstly line type,
you can choose between a normal line or a construction line.
Let me demonstrate that to you by drawing a line first.
So I have a line here.
And currently, it's a normal line.
But if I click on it and then click on line type construction, as you can see, it becomes a dotted
line.
Construction line is basically the line that does not interfere with your set per se, but then it allows
you to do other things which are near across it.
And it works pretty much as a reference point.
If you click on it again and then turn this off, you can see we have a normal life here.
The next setting a sketch grid.
Honestly, there's no point turning it off because it's just going to make her work harder.
So just leave it on and provides a good reference for you.
Snap is, again, I find it very useful.
So if I turn this over, you can see.
I can drag this line to any length, and it's not mapping to the individual grid points.
But now if I could step on, as you can see, it's mapping to the grid points, which I find fairly
useful.
Slice and dice your profile on one very important show points, I mean, you can turn the points off
and on, as you can see the point there has been turned off.
If I argue it turns it on, there's no point really bothering with these settings show dimensions.
You can add your dimensions to very sketch objects.
If you need them, you can turn them on.
Between the knock off again, if you don't need them, I will show you how to add dimensions in a later
video show constraint.
We have multiple constraints up here.
As you can see, this line has two constraints on that and that if I turn constraint off, beautiful
those.
Show projected geometry is not important again.
And finally, 3D sketch.
So if you're working with 3D object and you want to create a sketch across two prints or map your sketch
on one thing onto a different point, you can turn 2D sketch on.
If you don't need that, you can turn it off.
So that is the sketching panel for you.
Let's move on to the next section.
I will now run you through the sketching toolbar and sketching planes in Fusion 360.
Movie Sketching Toolbar sits at the top of the screen, and this toolbar only appears when you're working
on a new sketch.
There is the create section of the toolbar and it allows you to create basic shapes, lines, etc. You
then have the modify section, which allows you to edit these.
I will run through all these commands in a later video.
We also have constraints which allow you.
To add certain parameters to your set object, then you can insert various things for sketching your
primarily instead of canvas if you need to trace over something.
Just a quick note, whenever you create a new sketch, Infusion 360, you have to select a plane.
So let me click on you sketch.
I run through this briefly, but we have three planes here the X, Y and Z planes.
Now you can also create your own things in Fusion 360 or choose one of these.
I will run through that in a later video.
Let's get started with showing you how to sketch various objects in Fusion 360.
Now that we know about these catching interface, let's get started with the basics kitchen tools,
Confusion 360.
Let's start with the basics kitchen tool in Fusion 360, which is online.
You can either click it up here or go to create and then click online or just type on your keyboard
fiddling.
Now to create a line.
Click on one point.
And then click on the other point, which are which we're going to be the two points of the line.
Now, when you're in line, come on, you say, I mean, this line, I'm still being able to create
another line.
If I don't want to do that, I can just click on escape and that function will be disabled.
So this is how you create a line.
This is probably going to be the fundamentals of your sketches.
Now let's just delete these lines now.
Let's go on to create a rectangle.
So our vision has three options.
Two point rectangle, three point rectangle, concentric angle.
I usually stick between either two point or centre rectangle.
Let's look at two point four.
So as the name suggests, you can create a rectangle using two point.
And when you're creating a rectangle, you can also set in the dimensions if you don't want to do it
by.
So let's say I want rectangle, which is 25 in width and say 200 in length.
Now, the toggle between these settings, I can just click on Tab, which allows me to go between these.
And now if I click on Enter, you can see my two dimensions have popped up then.
Now moving on to a center rectangle.
So you can start at the center and then drag out.
This creates a pretty much symmetrical rectangle from your origin.
And here, as you can see, we have two construction lines running through it.
Our next sketch object is going to be a circle infusion, we have many types of circles.
I personally don't use 3-Point Tangent and two tangent circle the two important ones.
I said the diameter and two point two center diameter, obviously.
Click on the centre of your circle wherever you wanted to be.
And then up note that this measurement here is not the radius, it's the diameter.
People usually get confused there.
So if I want to have a circle of radius 50, put a diameter of 100.
Click on Enter and why circle has been made.
Now, this was a set of points, but if you're not sure where the center of your circle is going to
be and you're trying to sketch over a canvas, you can always do to a point.
And you can select who points again and again.
You can type in your time submission.
So these are the three basic sketching tools.
Let's move on to the next video where I'm sure you see more advanced sketching tools, which you'll
be used to make more intricate sketches.
