It’s here you’ll see the image that we just placed. Toggle open the “Bottle” component, followed by the “Canvases” folder. We’ll instead use the ‘Calibrate’ tool to precisely scale the image. We’re going to click OK, without worrying about the correct size. You may also use the manipulators on the image to scale or stretch the image. Notice we now have a number of options to alter the reference image, including changing opacity, scale, flipping, and more. This reference image is the “Front” view of the bottle, so I’ll select the corresponding “Front” origin plane.
We then need to select the origin plane or an existing planar face to place the reference image on. Select the reference image which you can download below this video. Once active, we can choose an existing reference image from our Projects and Folders, or we can select “Insert From My Computer” to choose one from our local machine. You will find the Canvas feature in Fusion 360’s toolbar. Starting your file with a reference image can be a great way to reverse-engineer designs. For now, let’s get into the habit of creating a new component for each unique part. This is something we’ll discuss in greater detail when we get to multi-part assemblies. Double-click to select the folder, and notice this will update the location the file is saved.Īfter we select Save, we’ll want to start with a “New Component.” A component will group all of the images, 3D bodies, and other information into a “folder” in the Fusion 360 browser. I’ll create a “New Folder” for Day 2 – Soda Bottle. Select the correct project on the left if yours is not already selected. Notice we can also toggle the location dropdown, which allows us to see the same projects and folders we set up on Day 1. Type out the desired name, such as “Glass Soda Bottle.” Fusion 360 files are saved “in the cloud,” but we must select save and name the file at the start of each new design file. I’m Kevin Kennedy,Īnd today we’ll create a glass soda bottle as you learn to insert a reference image, create a fit-point-spline, use the revolve feature, and add the appearance of glass.
Welcome to Day #2 of Learn Fusion 360 in 30 days.
