Automated Modeling Public Preview is Live! - Tell us what you think

keqingsong — Thu, 14 Jul 2022 01:03:30 GMT

Hey all,

At Autodesk University 2021, we announced a project to help simplify our Generative Design technologies for everyday use in modeling workflows. This project has come to life as Automated Modeling and is now in public preview. You can get a deeper understanding of how Automated Modeling can increase the productivity of your design workflows in our help documentation.

https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=SLD-AUTOMATED-MODELING

Our teams would love to hear your initial reactions and any feedback you have for we could make this tool better for your workflows. We look forward to hearing from you!

It is preview functionality. You might have to enable it in the "Preview Features" section in the Preferences.

Did your software get the July update yet? That needs to be installed to get this preview I believe. It automatically enabled the preview as soon as I did the restart after the July update downloaded.

Yep, updated as soon as I got in this morning.

It's great. I saw the icon and tested it straight away. Heres a video I made about my first use of Automate.

A modeling in record time, extremely surprised with the result

This preview functionality is available for paid subscribers, students, startups, and trial users.

@MikeSmell_ADSKJust a quick question: Is this going to be included in the standard paid subscription after it is out of preview, or will it move to a paid extension instead?

Cute gadget that maybe one percent of users will really need. I don't see any bug fixes in the latest update though, how about giving bug fixes a higher priority than new gadgets.

@mroek -

At this time, this is intended to be part of the Fusion 360 subscription, not an extension.

Thanks,

@Spacelabhrenovatothat's a very cool looking outcome.

I'm intrigued by how you used the spheres to shape the design like that. It's not something I've seen before but it looks to have worked very well!

I like the idea of automated modeling and i've played around with it several times now. My thoughts are how hard would it be to also have options that include more traditional shapes, less organic looking outcomes. Something that has square corners and normal features for simple programing and machining? Any thoughts or ideas would be great!

@stephenmN3A7W -

We are actively working on some concepts around simpler shapes and will be looking for customers to evaluate and give us feedback on our prototypes. I would encourage you to join our Insider Program on Automated Modeling and sign up to engage with us on this topic. https://feedback.autodesk.com/key/Fusion360Insider

is there any way i can make f360 avoid certain faces instead of whole bodies?

Re: Automated Modeling Public Preview is Live! - Tell us what you think

MikeSmell_ADSK — Mon, 24 Feb 2025 14:47:37 GMT

Automated modeling will only connect to the faces that are selected to connect. Any unselected faces on the bodies that contain faces to connect will be avoided. Can you give a more specific example of where you are trying to avoid faces instead of bodies?

Thanks,
