What You Need To Know About Geometry Selections in Fusion 360 | Autodesk Fusion 360

In this Fusion 360 YouTube tutorial, Autodesk's Kieran Gill will walk you through the geometry selections framework in Fusion 360 Manufacturing, why it exists, how to use it, and some pro tips for using geometry to empower rich feature selections. Kieran will cover how to select chains, face contours, silhouettes, pockets and use sketches to drive toolpaths from.

He will also walk you through how to use pocket recognition and show how powerful these new selections methods are in helping to automate toolpath generation with associative linking across toolpaths.

Great video and really helps with the latest updates. Thank you.

It threw me off today when trying to cut the outside contour of several overlapping bodies using silhouette, that the operations were still cutting between the overlapping parts. I would have expected silhouette to act as if the bodies were joined. Thanks for the tutorial!

Helpful! Now, how about adding Composite Curves Used In Autodesk PowerShape and PowerMill

[tomek_FORCE]

Impressive, very nice. Now we wait for dark mode 🙂

Nice one. And at next, Fusion will be available as an offline Version?

When using silhouette selection sometimes chains are recognized as internal but it should be external. And there`s is no way to change direction of loops/ Is there any hack to avoid that?

I personally find the new geometry selection tools to be more of a pain honestly, maybe i just havent gotten used to them yet...

The names of the custom views had me cracking up...

It would help if you talked users through your selections in the dialog boxes rather than just quickly making all the selections while talking about what can be done. I had to regularly stop the video and go back because you flew through the various selections and I couldn't follow that quickly.
