1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:05,540
Fusion 360, by default, provides us with three planes, an origin and three axes.

2
00:00:06,170 --> 00:00:10,730
However, when creating more complex designs, you will often need to create construction objects and

3
00:00:10,730 --> 00:00:11,750
insert canvases.

4
00:00:12,710 --> 00:00:18,320
Fusion 360 offers a large selection of construction tools, but we will go through a few important ones.

5
00:00:20,950 --> 00:00:24,940
Firstly, let's take a quick look at construction lines in Fusion 360.

6
00:00:26,260 --> 00:00:29,260
So as you can see, I have a sketch of the square here.

7
00:00:29,740 --> 00:00:35,650
I can turn any of these four lines and do construction line simply by clicking on it and then going

8
00:00:35,650 --> 00:00:38,560
to linotype hover over this, it says construction.

9
00:00:38,590 --> 00:00:39,310
Click on that.

10
00:00:39,850 --> 00:00:42,880
So as you can see, our line is not going to do a construction line.

11
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:49,990
Turning any line into a construction line essentially separates the construction line or the non-essential

12
00:00:49,990 --> 00:00:52,090
line from the rest of your sketch.

13
00:00:53,550 --> 00:00:59,600
So as you can see now, this line, because it's a construction line, does not complete the sketch

14
00:00:59,610 --> 00:01:03,240
when it was not a construction line, we had a complete sketch of the square.

15
00:01:03,750 --> 00:01:09,570
But since there's a construction line, it does not complete the sketch and has you can't see it shaded.

16
00:01:10,380 --> 00:01:16,320
So a construction line essentially does not have any impact on your sketch, but you can still use it

17
00:01:16,620 --> 00:01:19,350
for certain features, like mirroring your sketches.

18
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,460
So that's a quick run through of construction lines.

19
00:01:23,970 --> 00:01:25,770
Let's move on to the next section of this video.

20
00:01:27,810 --> 00:01:33,480
We will now look at inserting canvases into Fusion 360 when you're creating a design based on a reference

21
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,500
sketch or image.

22
00:01:34,890 --> 00:01:37,590
You can import it into Fusion 360 untreated out.

23
00:01:37,980 --> 00:01:38,880
Continue watching.

24
00:01:40,490 --> 00:01:42,350
Putin said a cannabis infusion.

25
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,620
You need to go up to this section of the border, said Insert.

26
00:01:46,130 --> 00:01:50,360
You can either click on this image up here or go to the dropdown and select canvas.

27
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:58,430
Once you select that, you can choose an image either from your Fusion 360 storage or you can insert

28
00:01:58,430 --> 00:02:00,020
it from your computer storage.

29
00:02:00,350 --> 00:02:04,700
So as you can see in my desktop, I have this image called canvas.

30
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,350
So let's say I'm designing a car.

31
00:02:06,380 --> 00:02:08,720
I can import this canvas into fusion.

32
00:02:09,860 --> 00:02:10,580
Click on Open.

33
00:02:11,980 --> 00:02:17,140
Then Fusion allows me to choose the plane, so I'll choose my right plane.

34
00:02:18,260 --> 00:02:19,460
And I will.

35
00:02:20,820 --> 00:02:26,250
Openness, as you can see, our car image has now been imported into fusion.

36
00:02:27,090 --> 00:02:34,770
Now I can edit my canvas, I can scale it, I can move it upwards downwards in any direction.

37
00:02:36,710 --> 00:02:38,480
I can also rotate my canvas.

38
00:02:40,340 --> 00:02:47,600
Now we can click on display through as off or on or display through is usually useful when you're reading.

39
00:02:47,900 --> 00:02:51,140
So once you've created your body, you can fill your canvas.

40
00:02:51,740 --> 00:02:53,720
You can also change the canvas opacity.

41
00:02:54,890 --> 00:02:57,680
Keeping it at 50 is usually a good idea.

42
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:05,600
You can also horizontally or vertically flip your canvas.

43
00:03:06,260 --> 00:03:08,900
And these are the basic editing options you have.

44
00:03:09,230 --> 00:03:10,160
I'll click on OK?

45
00:03:12,430 --> 00:03:19,150
Now, as you can see, we have another section here on campuses and my canvas is I can turn it off or

46
00:03:19,150 --> 00:03:23,890
on another setting with your campuses is calibrate.

47
00:03:24,460 --> 00:03:26,530
So say I want to make my car.

48
00:03:27,770 --> 00:03:34,940
To scale, and I know the dimension of my will, so that's how I want my barometer to be.

49
00:03:36,330 --> 00:03:42,640
530 thirty millimeters, which is approximately 21 inches, which is the diameter of a standard bill.

50
00:03:43,380 --> 00:03:45,720
So let's put that at 530.

51
00:03:48,010 --> 00:03:54,220
So as you can see, my entire sketch has been a sketch, canvas has been made larger.

52
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,570
And now my car is criticized.

53
00:03:59,350 --> 00:04:01,510
I can write again on this.

54
00:04:01,540 --> 00:04:07,090
Click on Edit that you can see of the same options here again if you want to change anything later.

55
00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:11,730
So that's how you insert a canvas into Fusion 360.

56
00:04:12,210 --> 00:04:18,209
It's really useful if you are creating a more complex object and you've created sketches based on which

57
00:04:18,209 --> 00:04:19,490
you want to create your designs.

58
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,390
Let's move on to the next part.

59
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,220
In the final section of this video, we will look at creating new prints to sketch on based on your

60
00:04:28,220 --> 00:04:28,700
design.

61
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:34,380
You can create different types of prints and we will run to five of them, which are offset claims and

62
00:04:34,410 --> 00:04:38,180
complaints, middling angle planes and edge cleans.

63
00:04:39,830 --> 00:04:46,490
We will first learn how to create an offset plane of, as you can see, I have a 3-D cube here just

64
00:04:46,490 --> 00:04:52,430
to demonstrate that you can go to construct select Offset or you can just click up here.

65
00:04:54,010 --> 00:05:00,700
Now, for an offset plane, we can either created from one of these planes or from any faces off an

66
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:01,180
object.

67
00:05:01,810 --> 00:05:07,030
So if I select this face right here, as you can see, Fusion has automatically created a new plane

68
00:05:07,030 --> 00:05:07,420
for us.

69
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,790
Now we can move this plane upwards or downwards in any direction.

70
00:05:14,260 --> 00:05:17,410
But it will essentially remain parallel to that face.

71
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:23,320
So let's say I want it 30mm above that face, I click it enter.

72
00:05:23,770 --> 00:05:26,050
And as you can see, our plane has been formed.

73
00:05:27,070 --> 00:05:31,810
We Fusion also has created a section for us here that says construction.

74
00:05:32,710 --> 00:05:36,970
We can see the list of all our planes here.

75
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,250
So that is how you create an offset plane.

76
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,390
The second type of plane we need to learn is a tangent plane.

77
00:05:45,930 --> 00:05:48,510
So as you can see, I have a reference cylinder here.

78
00:05:49,650 --> 00:05:53,190
So now if I click on construct and go the tangent plane.

79
00:05:55,270 --> 00:05:59,140
I can select my face, so it would be this cylindrical face.

80
00:05:59,740 --> 00:06:02,500
And as you can see, our plane has been created here.

81
00:06:03,540 --> 00:06:11,610
I can rotate this plane around the entire face, and it'll continue to be a tangent at every point,

82
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,620
so say I want a tangent at 90 degrees, which would be at the top.

83
00:06:18,210 --> 00:06:21,840
Fusion automatically does that for us and our plane has been created.

84
00:06:22,470 --> 00:06:24,390
To the surface as a top.

85
00:06:26,710 --> 00:06:29,830
The third type of thing we need to learn is a middling.

86
00:06:30,610 --> 00:06:33,580
This is one plane that I find myself using all the time.

87
00:06:34,450 --> 00:06:36,940
So go to constructive on Madeleine.

88
00:06:38,030 --> 00:06:43,700
So this essentially creates plane between two phases of an object, so I can click on this face first.

89
00:06:44,950 --> 00:06:50,950
And this faith, as you can see, Fusion has created a plane for us between these two faces.

90
00:06:51,730 --> 00:06:52,540
Click on OK.

91
00:06:53,050 --> 00:06:54,340
And you can see the plane here.

92
00:06:55,410 --> 00:06:56,780
So that's how you create a meeting.

93
00:06:57,590 --> 00:07:04,500
Now, just a quick heads up, if you go to construct and look at all these different planes and axes,

94
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,790
you can just see an image of each of them.

95
00:07:09,270 --> 00:07:15,450
So even if you need to use the ones that I will not run through in this course, you can still take

96
00:07:15,450 --> 00:07:17,460
a look at these and explore for yourself.

97
00:07:20,050 --> 00:07:26,530
The fourth type of thing that we will learn how to create is an angled thing, so click on construct

98
00:07:26,530 --> 00:07:36,310
again and good thing it angles now for this, you can select any of the edges of the cube and see I've

99
00:07:36,310 --> 00:07:37,090
selected this edge.

100
00:07:37,090 --> 00:07:37,360
You're.

101
00:07:38,540 --> 00:07:40,610
So as you can see, we have a plane created.

102
00:07:41,890 --> 00:07:43,610
We can change the angle of this.

103
00:07:43,780 --> 00:07:46,300
I want it at an angle of 60 degrees.

104
00:07:47,550 --> 00:07:54,180
To the edge, you can just type it in there and our plane, that angle has been created.

105
00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:59,930
The last type of thing we need to know about is the airplane.

106
00:08:00,690 --> 00:08:04,590
So go to construct and click on plane through two edges.

107
00:08:05,310 --> 00:08:11,130
This thing is useful when you want to create, let's say, a diagonal plane to this cube.

108
00:08:11,460 --> 00:08:12,210
I'll show you how.

109
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,280
So select your first edge.

110
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:16,890
And then the second one.

111
00:08:17,860 --> 00:08:24,820
And as you can see here, we have a plane created as a diagonal to this cube.

112
00:08:26,980 --> 00:08:30,760
So that's how you create a plane through two edges.

113
00:08:31,660 --> 00:08:34,900
This is the last thing of the five planes we need to know.

114
00:08:36,950 --> 00:08:41,150
You have now learned how to insert canvasses and create plain confusion 360.

115
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,560
This is the end of the sketching section in our next video.

116
00:08:45,650 --> 00:08:51,140
I will give you three sketching challenges to complete, which should be exciting in our next module.

117
00:08:51,260 --> 00:08:55,880
We will get to the fun stuff where we will be creating real 3D objects for you there.
