Using Direct Modeling Techniques for In Context Design

You can use direct modeling for more than you thought! In this example, taken from the getting started content, you'll see how to design a part in context to a larger assembly. See the rest of this series by using the link below:

Every time I watch a video, there’s always a little gem of information hidden that I learn about. Fantastic video, thank you.

Great video! Reanchor - never even knew it existed

[gordon]

Rewatched this one. This is the style of video I really like.

[Auday]

Great tutorial, how easy and fluid the design process using Fusion 360 with many tools discussed here, direct modeling, dimensions, re-anchor, split body, and others with design intent in mind, just amazing.
Thank you.

[MrEngineer_]

WOW, You made it so effortless. Thanks!!

Does anyone where I can get this model so I can follow along?

[automan]

what accessory are you using to fly around the model so quickly, zooming around, in, out ?

[TJ-edmw]

Very cool, but wouldn't the new part collide with the outer casing?(if installed as to the plane which cut)

[FaizanAli-opxe]

Great. Where can i find full video for the brake part.

Shouldn't you start by making a new component rather than sketching directly on the base assembly?

[steevesmith]

Why we have to convert the body to a component?

[MrDaniell]

Using slices makes it easier to see what you are dong when stuff is in the way

[seimela]

The reason why i can't use fusion over solidworks is i don't have weldments option on fusion, i use it for many of my projects

[saidtacuri]

waste of my time, use generative design it's more fast
