Outlines
🛠️ Editing Forms in Fusion 360
The video script introduces viewers to the Autodesk Certified User exam for Fusion 360, focusing on the sculpt category and specifically editing a form. The narrator demonstrates how to create a form in Fusion 360 using default settings and then explores the 'Modify' and 'Edit Form' options. Various selections such as vertex, edge, and face are discussed, along with coordinate spaces for transformation like translation, rotation, and scaling. The script emphasizes the importance of understanding the different options available for editing forms and suggests that viewers become familiar with the tools and their functionalities. The narrator also mentions that the exam might ask about the commands' functions, so understanding tooltips and menu options is crucial. The video concludes with an invitation for questions and a teaser for the next video on thickening forms to create solids.

Transcripts
hey everyone here in this video we're
going to check out another autodesk
certified user
for fusion 360 exam objective and within
this video we're going to check out the
sculpt category and specifically
we're going to take a look at editing a
form so with that we're going to go
ahead and move into fusion
and i'm going to go ahead and go under
create and we're going to create a form
to start off with now as far as how deep
we get into the sculpting
in kind of environment or creating forms
really what we can take a look at is
here i'm going to look at creating just
a box
and selecting what plane i'd like it to
be on and go ahead and create
some sort of form here i'm just going to
go ahead and use all the default
settings here
but
really when we go into editing a form if
i go to modify and edit form there are a
lot of options that we can play with and
be able to change and edit the form into
various selections so here you can see
there's a vertex selection an edge
selection face
all so which is always by default or by
the entire body so that is created so
and then there's obviously coordinate
spaces
that you can choose from in a transform
translation rotation or scaling so i
would just get familiar with for example
i'm going to have it set to all let's
choose this face
right now it says multi so we can go
through and really what this is is just
like if we just want translational
pieces you'll see it shuts off some of
the options if we just want rotational
pieces then that'll go through and allow
us to bend and edit the form like you're
seeing here on the screen
and if you just want a scaling option
you can do the same thing you can either
make the the face smaller or large or
anything as such
so i'm gonna go ahead and control z to
bring that back so if you choose the
multi that's gonna do all of them at
once so you can see this will give you a
lot of different options this just kind
of goes through and separates out what
kind of
movements or
modifications you wish to make the
coordinate space looking at view space
or
any of those so you'll be able to see
what kind of
view or what kind of option you have by
default it has the world space
so
those are the kinds of things there so
really not a whole lot and this menu
looks kind of um
you know kind of
you know one of those things that uh
looks like there's a lot to it but not
really
a whole lot and so really you just need
to be familiar with like how do i go
through do i make a rotation onto a face
and i think the main thing is knowing
the difference between
um
a face
and then what would be for example an
edge so here on an edge we're always
selecting an edge and how that we can go
through and transform and change just
some of those
and then
a vertex
again it will open up you'll notice all
these points
of where the faces meet so if i want to
edit a vertex
i can do that and offset it by a certain
distance
that allows me to go through
and change a lot of the options so
becoming in kind of familiar with this
editing the form is really the only
thing that we really have to worry about
and again just playing around with some
of those options and again don't have to
be real deep so under the modification
you'll see there's a lot of different uh
you know kind of also modify or edit
tools so the good thing is is that
in some cases i've seen on the acu exam
they will go through and ask for
like what do some of the commands do
so here you can see just from the
tooltips when fusion 360 is open on your
computer it will go through and explain
a lot of those as well so you and your
students will be able to kind of see
that but also test out just some of them
i wouldn't test out all all of them but
just go through and become familiar with
where these are located and maybe where
you know using the tool tips in the
menus to kind of help you with some of
those so
all right so that it completes the
editing a form
kind of refresh or kind of you know what
to look for video for the acu exam if
you have any questions or anything feel
free to email me or contact me
and uh good luck preparing for the
autodesk certified user exam and check
out the next video where we're going to
take a look at how to thicken
a
a form so that way it can be used as a
solid
