Modeling in Fusion 360 using the exercise #3 from Cadin360- Orthographic Projection ~ 3D Printing Center for Hobbyists

Orthographic Projection

Is one way of drawings to demonstrate the 3D object from different view and direction. Usually, it shows from top, front and side view, so the viewer can comprehend that object looks like.

This is the 3rd exercise to create 3D Model in Fusion 360. I share how to make it. The credit source of this exercise is from Cadin360 Learning Tutorial written by Sachidanand Jha. I have the permission from the author to publish my tutorial from one of his exercise. The exercise always show 3 different views, which are top, front and side view.

Illustration of exercise #3

Sketch

First thing to do is creating the sketch. You should consider which sketch should be done first. In this case, the top view is the first sketch that you should draw in Fusion 360.

Draw a rectangle by using line in sketch with dimension 100 x 60 mm. Divide the rectangle into two parts, so you have two rectangles now.

Extrusion

Extrude the sketch that you have made previously with distance of 20 mm and choose the operation of New Body.

Extrude again with the distance of 40 mm. Because you already divide the rectangle into two parts, the 3D model became as shown in the image, for you extrude with different distances. After this step, you are finished building with top and side view.

Sketching the Front View

Make another sketch with center diameter circle. Enter the diameter of 40 mm and made the second circle with diameter of 50 mm.

Extrusion the Circle

Extrude the smaller circle (with diameter of 40 mm). Make the operation into "cut". By doing this, you have a hole with shape of circle.

When extruding, make sure the distance is 20 mm.

Click ok. You are finished modeling.

Rendering the Model

To make the model look interesting, you can add some texture by clicking the rendering button. Choose the material that you desired. In my image, I choose pine wood texture.
