To me it became easy once I realized that Fusion 360 is not Blender. You're not sculpting a model. You're essentially just writing mathematical equations ("constraints" in CAD lingo) that produce the desired 3D object. For example, let's have a flat circle as a base with diameter x, then we extend it into the third dimension with length y, and so on. Once I realized how it works, it became much clearer to me what to do, because I literally just need to express my goal to the computer et voilà. I'm having a difficult time translating what I mean into words, but perhaps you can remember doing some kinds of geometric constructions in elementary school like a perpendicular line through the middle of another line. That's exactly what CAD feels like to me.
That’s very clear, thanks. I’ve done some before but only in Google Sketchup which in my opinion is incredible, and a shame it’s not available on more platforms for free. Anyway thanks it sounds pretty straightforward.
I know there’s also something free online that’s a web-based creator; I forget at the moment which it is but it looked pretty easy.
Thanks, I appreciate your response.
