More Complex Design Help

dustinwcrosby — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 21:38:39 GMT

I've only created things that weren't using a real world product thus far, now I need to create this clip in fusion to add in to a design. I am stuck with where to even begin. Any help or insight would be much appreciated. Disregard the pencil in 1 photo, just needed it to hold the clip sideways. Thank you.

Holy Cow! That was fast and amazing. I'll definitely follow along and see if I can do the same. You're showing me tools I didn't know existed as I've only been working in fusion for a week.

Quick Note (that little tab on the bottom, I don't need it. It's actually where I broke off the rest of the clip and what was remaining. The part on top is key)

Thanks again for all your wisdom!

You will probably have questions - I skipped over a bunch of steps (like how to Calibrate a canvas image),

I'm plan to play with this soon. I'll definitely have questions. Excited to give it a shot though. This is my last needed step to add to my build.

I updated all the photos on top to more accurate photos based on your description. I also have calipers and about to measure and see if I can figure it out. These are the photos I'll be using above.

I really appreciate the detailed video. Unfortunately I think I'm still just too new at working in Fusion to follow everything. I'm trying to find a good source to help me design this (actually have what I feel is a more simple version I believe) in a different model. I've tried messing with it and it makes my brain hurt. ha ha. I'll upload a few shots of the item. The area in red I don't need, so tough to get side photos as it hides most of the model. Also don't need the ends, just the part in the middle of the red boxes.

I have actually deleted my attempts (both the previous version and this version). Felt it was just above my skillset. Even open to paying someone to do it, just not sure where to start.
