When starting to learn 3D modeling in Fusion,
00:06
it can be helpful to build a foundation by performing some basic project creation and saving operations.
00:13
With Fusion open and running, you are ready to create a new project to store your design data.
00:19
First, open the Data Panel, which enables you to view, access, organize, and share your Fusion projects and designs.
00:27
In the Application bar, click Show Data Panel to open it.
00:32
Click New Project, and then enter a name for your project, such as “3D Modeling”.
00:38
Under All Projects, double-click the new project to open it.
00:42
As you can see, the project is currently empty.
00:46
To upload design data, click Upload, and in the Upload dialog, click Select Files.
00:53
Navigate to, and select the design data to upload.
00:56
In this example, Reciprocating_Saw.f3d is selected.
01:01
Click Open and then Upload to complete the upload process.
01:07
Fusion uploads the design to the project, which is stored on the Fusion cloud.
01:12
In the Data Panel, you can see the design saved to the project.
01:16
Double-click it to open the design in Fusion.
01:19
Once the 3D model is open on the canvas, you can click Hide Data Panel to give yourself extra space.
01:26
Based on file management standards, it can be helpful to save a copy of the design, in case you need to revert to the original model at any point.
01:34
To save the design, from the Application bar, click File > Save As.
01:40
You can save the design into the same project as a production version.
01:45
Append “Rev01” to the existing name, and then click Save.
01:50
Open the Data Panel again to see the new production design along with the original uploaded design in the project folder.
01:57
The Rev01 version is open and ready for you to work on.
