Is this a better way to design Chassis ?

Hello , I am designing a chassis . I want to know that is this any other ways to design a chassis ? First I started with sketches and then used the pipe functions to different elements . when there is an Intersection I hide one pipe and cut the joining pipe using same pipe function to cut it with same O.D .

I am certainly no chassis designer or builder, but thats I how would approach it s well. Ive done this for a bicycle.

Fusion is lacking abilities in the 3D sketch department. You can do 3D sketches but cannot dimension them.

Thus for a design like this you'll end up with a large number of construction planes than would otherwise be necessary.

Yes . I have always designed this way , I have made several chassis this way . I have watched some ways to design chassis , like making all 3d sketch and use function called weldment , They tried this in solidworks, and also in catia , surfacing . selecting the lines to give it circular path along line and after giving thickness . But I think , using pipe function way is easy .
