Modeling a Table and Generating PLANS AND A CUTLIST! Autodesk Fusion 360 for Woodworkers 3

In this video, we're going to model a table inside of Fusion 360 so that we can generate drawings and a material CutList from our model!

FULL FUSION FOR WOODWORKING PLAYLIST HERE

In this video, learn how to create a table in a way inside of Fusion 360 where we can generate a parts list, or a cutlist! We'll start by modeling out the parts and pieces of the table, which will need to be components.

Since we've modeled our parts as components, we can then use the tables function of the drawing tools to create a table that totals our parts and pieces into a cutlist that can be printed as a part of our drawings!

Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions about creating cutlists or plans from Fusion 360 in the comments below!

I realize this is an old video, but I wanted to say that your videos have been a REAL BIG help for me, and today I just discovered that you covered this subject (woodworking, parts and cuts list) with Fusion 360 and it is one of the main reasons I wanted to use this software. This, and creating models for 3d printing. Your videos are absolutely AWESOME, covering shortcut keys, the basics just briefly, and there is so much anyone can learn from a single video. Regardless of the reason for the episode. Nicely done! Great pace, audio, laid out nicely. I cannot thank you enough! WELL DONE!

Really clever use of the pattern command (around a central axis). Everything is square and perpendicular in the table design and so I would have never thought of using a circular pattern. Thanks for the cool technique!

[johnagorman]

great stuff! you covered so much. Really pulled together some topics i knew a little bit about, like patterns are instances. You simplified Drawings a lot as well. thanks!

Thanks for doing these videos Justin, you explain and demonstrate Fusion 360 in a way that makes it much less intimidating.

[DSegal]

Dude, I can't believe I watched you do that so easily! I've been hacking my way with Fusion, but this simple video taught me a bunch. You're an awesome instructor!!! Thank you!

This is great because as a new modeler, this feature really sets Fusion 360 apart. Making a parts list is built in and very easy to set up. Thanks.

Great videos and thanks for not including any antics or fluff - it shows a rather considerate level of professionalism. I've learned alot from your videos and have already made a toolbox and set of drawers, though I am struggling to make a workshop table cleanly. I keep having to start new sketches to add extra elements I did not think of (i.e. extra joists, extra legs, segmenting apron into components, etc.) and now want to mirror one side to the other, but "it" won't let me in Sketch mode, which points to the need for some Fusion 360 Troubleshooting videos; you'd be the first to do that as nobody else has done this. Sure, everyone presents the videos as if all is smooth sailing, but there maybe rougher waters you could help us overcome? Keep up the great work! Thanks, Kurt

Wow as a student learning fusion for the first time you really have brought me up to speed to the basics. This should really be a paid tutorial!

[jdyzy]

been watching tutorials for days trying to figure out how to make a cut list. All the tutorials I watched only addressed the views and dimensioning. Thanks for showing the table option. That is exactly what I was looking for. Nice job on the tutorials.

Dude thank you so much. I build custom cabinetry and fine furniture pieces for a living. I have been using sketchup to design all of my work for years now, but sketchup is just so limited. As I get into designing more intricate furniture. The limitations of sketchup become so clear. So I have been taking some time every day to learn Fusion 360 which is much more involved, but watching your videos along with others have helped me take giant leaps over the past week learning this software and how to use it, so I really appreciate it.

Thank you for this video! It was one of the fastest to the point videos I have found and managed to get me starting a project. Keep it up!

Excellent video, easy to follow along, thanks again Justin.

Good afternoon I just subscribed to your channel, your video is so easy to follow. I did not know that Fusion 360 had so many functions. God bless, keep up the good work

Another great video and I feel like I have no place giving criticism because I'm so new, but I think its good practice to define the line you used for the circle pattern as a "construction line" in the sketch palette or hitting the "x" key. It has saved me some confusion on a couple projects. Thanks for the cut list video it'll surely save me some money on my next project!

[livingleffertinthepnw]

Excellent tutorial. This series has really helped learn Fusion. Thank you.

[ComandanteJ]

Picked more than one tip from this vid! Great video.

[PhilPKay]

Just started using Fusion 360 and these videos are a great help. Many thanks.

[a.k.]

Great video and straight to the point! Thanks a lot!

Wow, what an incredible helpful videos. Clear, concise, and easy to digest.
I’m almost a complete noob with CAD (completely new to Fusion360) and I’m hoping to use it for the specific purpose of laying out plans to use for projects and to present to customers.
I had no idea how simple it was to translate your design directly into printable plans.
Thank you for sharing this!
