Sculpt - Edit a Form

Summary

In this video, we explore the Autodesk Certified User for Fusion 360 exam, focusing on the sculpt category and editing a form. The tutorial begins with creating a basic box and then delves into the Modify and Edit Form options, showcasing vertex, edge, and face selections for transformations. It highlights the importance of understanding coordinate spaces and the differences between transformations like translation, rotation, and scaling. The video encourages viewers to familiarize themselves with these tools and practice using tooltips for guidance, setting the stage for the next lesson on thickening forms to create solids.
