Select the font “Franklin Gothic Heavy” (the same font used on the title of the classic movie Rocky) and make sure the angle is 0.0 deg. Enter your name and type in a reasonable height such as 10mm.

Your view will shift and the 3 yellow planes will appear.Ĭ. To do this, click the “Create Sketch” button in the “Sketch” portion of the toolbar. Now that we have our rectangular prism, we would like to carve letters into it (extrude them inward to remove material). The object will turn into a 2mm thick rectangular base like this:Ĥ-a. Press enter or click “OK” to perform the extrusion. In the dialog window, ensure that the direction is “One Side” and the extent is “Distance.” Then, type 2mm into the distance box (either the one in the dialog window or the one near your rectangle). It will place an arrow in the direction of the extrusion and an “Extrude” dialog window will pop-up.ĭ. We want to extrude our rectangle, so select it by click once in the center of the rectangle (not on the edge). We need to select the sketch we want to extrude. Your view will rotate to a give you a better perspective. It can be found above “Create” in the toolbar.ī. To extrude the rectangle, click on the “Extrusion” tool, which has the icon shown below. The extrusion tool takes a 2-D sketch and gives it a thickness. Now that you have accepted the sketch, it will turn orange and become a 3-D solid object.

Let’s get a more “solid” grasp of how to use Fusion!ģ-a. Congratulations! You made a rectangle in Fusion. Once, you click, your rectangle will fill with yellow, as shown below. Place it 20.0mm up and 100.0mm to the right of the origin to create a 20 by 100 rectangle.į. Now, it is time to place the upper-right corner of the rectangle. Click on the origin (where the colored lines) place the lower left corner of the rectangle.Į. The color of the lines and their orientation may be different, but it should look something like this:ĭ.

The view will rotate so you are looking top-down at the plane you are sketching in. Select any one of these planes to sketch in by clicking on it.Ĭ. If you move your mouse near one, it will turn blue. You’ll see three yellow planes appear in the middle. To do this, click the “2 Point Rectangle” button at the top above “Sketch.” It looks like this:ī. In the next few steps, we are going to extrude a rectangle to create a rectangular prism base for our name plate. Let’s build some knowledge we can “draw” upon later!Ģ-a. Play around with these controls until you are comfortable using them. The view cube in the upper right corner of the screen can also be used to manipulate your view. Hold the middle button and the shift key down at the same time while moving your mouse to rotate your view. Hold the middle button (scroll wheel) down while moving the mouse to move your view. As you can see, there is an origin in the center and two axis (red and blue) in a plane. A window should pop up that looks something like this:Ĭ. Click the one whose icon looks like this:ī. There may be multiple applications in the Autdoesk suite installed on your computer. Open Autdesk Fusion 360 by clicking on its icon, or by doing a search for “Fusion” from the Start menu.
