Mikol\u00e1\u0161 Zuza from Prusa3D<\/a> recently shared a video tutorial that shows how to use parametric modeling in Fusion to your advantage. In this tutorial, Zuza covers how to quickly and easily change the dimensions of a model without having to correct individual steps. When you change a models paramaters in Fusion<\/a>, you can watch the changes happen in real-time, which is quite handy (and satisfying to watch).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changing parameters is easy to do and can be accessed through the following commands: <\/span>Modify > Change Parameters. A chart will then pop up where you can create a new parameter and assign a value to it. You can then use your parameter whenever you need to define new dimensions in a sketch or when you’re using dimension-changing tools like extrude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After covering the basics, Zuza delves into some real-life examples that show how parametric modeling can come in use. When you need a single part to adapt to fit multiple-sized complementary parts, or when you need to change the dimensions of multiple parts at once but don’t want to do it all manually are two great examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch the full video for even more advice on how parametric modeling can come in handy in your workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for even more information on parametric modeling in Fusion, Zuza released a blog post<\/a> in conjunction with the above tutorial that gives a written deep dive into the subject. Read the blog post here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
