Planes, Sketches, Constraints, and Parametric Dimensions

In this chapter, we will go over the most typical tools that make Fusion 360 powerful to use as a design program. I’m going to take my time to explain how each of these tools works throughout this chapter so that when you are working on your projects, you will have a better understanding of what they are doing and how they work. By the end of this chapter, you will have a better understanding of these powerful commands and a better idea of what they can and can’t do for your project.

  • What are planes?
  • What are sketches?
  • What are constraints?
  • What are parametric dimensions?
