Finally, a to the point video! I'm tired of the 45 minute videos with 40 minutes of chatter.

Prismatic is not available for personal use.

If your using personal license this will still work but with a slight bit more effort as you won't have prismatic. Once you get your body it may have a lot of faces/lines. When you get to that stage click the surface tab -> modify -> merge. Select two faces you want to join (start with just two big surfaces) do not select chain and press ok. This should drastically clean up lines and you can can continue this until your happy.

I have the educational license and this worked perfectly. I have watched five videos before seeing yours and this example blew all of them away. Thanks for sharing.

convert prismatic only in paid subscription :\

[gursisingh]

Doesn't work. Prismatic tells me I need to pay for

I found this hint on reddit and helped much as a free version user:
"Recently discoverd that open a STL in Tinkercad and use the export fonction directly to Fusion 360, it created a editable body (no other manipulation are needed)"

Such a perfect video and the results are so clean. Thank you!

Subscribing to your channel for this tutorial alone. GDI why can't other people make such a concise this is what you need to do, no fluff tutorials.
