Intro to API in Fusion 360 Part 3 - Creating a New User Parameter with Code #Fusion360API #Python

We will walk through the steps needed to eventually progress to gathering user inputs directly for creating a new parameter in the next video.

Great video! Just something I wanted to add in case people get confused by the error. Once the script has been run and the UserParameter created it, if you try running again it will give you a name error because the name Width was already created when first run. Just thought I'd mention! Thanks for the series.

Such great videos, exactly what I needed in my quest to create variations on a standard design programmatically. You explain everything so clearly at a perfect pace and never assume that the watcher know something that they should know but may not. Engaging and friendly as well, all the hallmarks of a GREAT teacher. Thank you.

I am a programmer by trade and a fledgling designer. I commend you for your brute force effort to learn API programming and teach other designers as you go. Really great stuff and your channel looks fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

Very nice Video. Can not wait to write my first code. It is like a magic for a newbie like me 🧙‍♂🤣.
Thanks a lot for your hard work. It is very helpful.

Wonderful video! It's superior to the Autodesk ones. I would like to offer some advice on improvements, if you ever decide to create more API videos in the future. Fusion 360 API is very technical and it requires OOP and general programming experience. You would cover a lot more of the Fusion API at a deeper level if you focused on a developer audience. Without extensive OOP programming experience, the topic is of little utility.

Great video, thanks for your great work putting this all together! If I may, I have a question : to define "design" you use design = in stead of design = app.activeProduct. The latter will work also, however, in that case when inputting design. (dot) the class userParameters is not available in the viewlist, one has to type userParameters.add() manually. Is that a Python or an Autodesk thing?
