In addition to the standard core features that most parametric CAD tools offer, Fusion’s flexible toolset makes the modeling experience more intuitive.

Fusion was the same 3D modeling tools set as
00:06
you would find with solid works including extrude,
00:08
revolve and filet.
00:10
Although fusion separates these
00:12
and to create
00:14
and modify sections
00:18
also within this same toolbar,
00:20
you have your assemble commands which again gives
00:22
you everything you need in one place.
00:23
And for all toolbars in different workspaces,
00:25
you can also customize your toolbar and add or remove commands
00:28
either here or in your shortcut menu based on your preferences
00:33
in general.
00:34
Fusion aims to provide a more intuitive and
00:36
user friendly approach when creating your designs,
00:40
one instance is to group similar commands and
00:42
subsequently selecting the respective action you wish to take
00:47
for solid modeling, this is no different.
00:49
And one example is where you do not need to
00:51
separate extrude and cut commands as you do in solid works
00:54
rather we utilize one command,
00:56
they let you select whether this is joined,
00:58
cut or intersected with an existing body or component.
01:02
Also,
01:03
here you can opt to create a new component or body,
01:05
meaning you're not limited to boolean tasks and
01:07
can create new geometry based on existing,
01:10
which ties in with Fusion's top down modeling approach.
01:14
Fusion will also automatically select the appropriate action
01:17
based on where you drag the sketch feature.
01:19
As here we can see it changing from join to cut based
01:22
on where they are moving away from or into the body.
01:25
Saving you some time by not having to manually select the preferred option.
01:30
I'll also add to this.
01:31
You can quickly select which objects are affected
01:33
by the cut action using the drop down.
01:35
Then selecting or deselecting those you wish to perform the action on
01:41
sketches are also automatically hidden after creating a 3d object,
01:44
but can easily be made visible again by
01:46
selecting the visibility icon in your sketches,
01:48
drop down
01:53
one useful tip regarding pattern commands is that you can
01:55
select or deselect features you want included or excluded respectively,
01:59
helping you to further improve your design workflow.
02:01
By reducing design time
02:05
with other parametric modeling systems.
02:06
You may have found yourself having to reuse the pattern
02:09
or even mirror command to achieve a similar result.
02:13
Finally,
02:14
using the shortcut Q key brings up
02:16
the press pull command which automatically detects
02:18
whether you need no set extrude or filet command based on the selected geometry.
02:24
Of course, you can select these commands independently.
02:26
Although we commonly used ones such as these,
02:28
I find myself frequently using a Q shortcut.
02:32
And as always,
02:34
you can find any commands appear in the timeline giving
02:36
you the power to edit at a later date.
02:37
Should you need to make any changes?
02:42
We find this approach with a less cluttered workspace,
02:45
single commands with multiple options within
02:47
and intuitive actions provides a cleaner and more efficient 3D modeling workflow.
