Getting Started with Fusion 360 Part 1 - BEGINNERS START HERE! - Intro to the Workspace

In this beginner series for getting started with Autodesk Fusion 360, we're going to explore the workspace - learn where to create new files, how to save them, and more!

So many “Intro to Fusion 360” videos start right in designing shapes without explaining the workspace. This is an essential first video. Thanks

Like everybody else has been saying, this is a really great intro. Love that you are starting at the _actual_ beginning: how to even use the program. Great job!

Not new to cads but fusion 360 has a pretty good learning curve to it.
I've had a hard time with other videos caz of software version, yours is the same as

Thanks for the good tutorials. I gave up on Fusion 360 several times over the past few years, but recently needed to get it learned and after watching numerous videos, including Autodesk's own tutorials which were ok but lacked explanations, finally found yours. You actually explain things in a sequence that matches actual workflow which is what I really needed. I am currently on number 4 and have watched these up to 4 times each to get it pounded in, sometimes Pause, Rewind, Play to see and hear things again. I find that watching your mouse/cursor closely really helps me to see what you actually doing because F360 has a way of challenging you to get the sequence of clicks just right in order to make things work properly. Thanks again.

I really like the way you explain.. This beginners videos are 4 years old, are this videos still useful for the current Fusion 360 2024 version, for complete beginners like me?

[ramsub]

Thank you for explaining everything thoroughly it was very helpful watched 4 other tutorials by others that were absolutely no help so will definitely stick with your videos from now on.

Been following your Sketchup Essentials channel for some time now, and recently started thinking about learning Fusion 360. Really happy to discover this other channel and look forward to diving in!

[garysimmons]

Thank you for this video. I just created my first 3D cylinder after watching it. I have a long way to go but you helped me get started. Hello from Galveston Texas.

Hi Justin, I am so pleased that you are giving up your time to help beginners like me do something useful with F360.
I am trying to work up a new layout for our kitchen starting with a partial floor plan. I am in my 70s, but your tutorials
are very easy to follow and are helping me so much.
One thing that puzzled me is when you said our drawings are best stored in Autodesk's Cloud rather than locally else
there is some loss of functionality. Can you say what is lost, please?

[unreal]

great video to walk through the workspace, very helpful, thank you

[Shadowcat]

Thank you for taking the time to explain all of this very basic information. Now when I open Fusion360, it feels familiar instead of intimidating.

[overcrafter]

Well done.Great tutorial for the total newbie (like me) to fusion 360.

[jackkingsbury]

After learning sketchup through your other channel I was excited to see that you are also teaching fusion 360! best guide ever

[normmthestormm]

Really like the thorough breakdown of the layout.

[thomascorley]

Nice one Justin, Have been following your sketchup vids and now I'm trying out Fusion 360 for our CNC and found you over here too! Many thanks for upload !

[garryrife]

Great job on explaining the workspace and the different options. Most Fusion 360 tutorials jump right into modeling without an explanation of the model space. Your SketchUp videos helped me get through my classes. Thank you very much.
