Another great video as usual. I like that you covered Shift+F to show/hide the mesh face group visualization. That step is often forgotten in instructional content but is very useful for a user to see the outcome of their face group calculation.

Was googling this earlier! Y'all are awesome.

Thank you, Kevin, for created an updated video on STL MESH to Solid. My experience is that Autodesk is continually updating and improving the software, and the UI has evolved over the years.

Really good video, getting started with Fusion 360 after using SolidWorks. Good guide to get used to Fusion 360.

Waiting for day number 19. Very helpful tutorials

[stevepole]

it's annoying that Autodesk lock the feature that most hobby/maker users of F360 need behind the highly priced versions.

Great video! Do you have a video on drawing parts on top of scan files? Say I want to draw a part that attaches to what I’ve scanned. I can’t find any good examples on YouTube

[DennisMurphey]

Is this a new capability? I have train engine bodies in STL i want to try to convert to Fusion 360 editable files. I should try one and see. You are so helpful in these videos thanks Young Feller. In my mess of Part files, can I create a component and sort bodies into Component labels to sort out the mess???? Dennis

[Lil-sw]

So how can we convert meshes to solid bodies if the orginal mesh is quite complex and organic?

[TasosX]

Hello fiend i m tryin to convert stl file to g code solid body but my 3d design a wheel rim after i convert missing the center. You know how i can fix that?

[mauriicio--i]

I used the free option "parametric" and It created +200 different bodies. Any help??

[Ridingrules]

Can't figure out why it doesn't add an item on the timeline when I import the mesh file. Anyone have any ideas on that one?
EDIT: Nevermind. I figured it out. Had to right click on the upper level component and turn it on: "capture design history". Not sure why it wasn't on by default.

[Kiever_Sloane]

Anyone know why my "convert mesh" box lacks the "operations" drop down? I am on the educational license.
