“I learned Fusion360 by using it. I had no real experience with 3D modeling beyond a little bit of TinkerCAD work for really basic 3D prints, and SketchUp for very basic architectural plans. As I modeled things in Fusion, if I wanted to do something but didn't know how I'd search YouTube for a tutorial to do that specific task. Now I'm making fairly complex, decent looking, models.”
