Default Folders

I am completely new to fusion and I will leave it to work out its own folders on the cloud

I welcome suggestions as to a default folder structure to use on my own computer.

and where are  the default folders for my work that fusion sets up by itself.

no point in reinventing a wheel- but I would like to know where I find the work files on my computer

 

best regards

@fredJME3H, Fusion is a cloud-storage application - it stores all your designs on servers in the cloud.  It does not set up any structure on your local machine that you can reference.  It is true that designs are temporarily cached locally, for speed of opening/saving, but not all designs are cached, and caches expire over time, if designs are not accessed.  So, you are better off just embracing the cloud storage paradigm, IMO.  Once you get used to it, I think you will come to see the advantages of cloud storage.

If you're downloading on a Windows machine, you'll be looking for the *.f3d files in your Downloads folder. 

Double-click on it, and it will open up in Fusion.
