How to design these models
You attached your model but a video, you refer to, is not attached. Try to submit it again.

Hi,
There are plenty of videos on the AutoDesk Fusion site to learn the software. The Documentation files are also filled
with short tutorials. You need to learn the software before trying to model something complex.
That being said, the little row of icons at the bottom is the Timeline. If you slowly step through the timeline at one
icon at a time then it will show you how the model was created.
Each icon is a step in the process and they tell you what they are. While you can use this to work out how it was
done you would be better off doing it yourself. There are some dubious steps I can see in this timeline that are
not good workflow methods.
Cheers

Just revolve this shape:
Then add the arms using another sketch. Extrude and Pattern the arm.
Notes:
Draw the center at the Origin.
Don't use the Move command to position bodies. This will lose their position relative to the sketch(es) used to create them.

It's pretty straight forward once you've created the sketches.
@jeff_strater A rather embarrassing bug in the circular pattern. Note that a quantity of 6 was entered, but only 5 exist.

Draw the revolve profile on the XZ or YZ plane with the center on the origin. Draw the extrude profiles on the XY plane.

Whoever did the original design did not know how to use Fusion - so we will start over from scratch step-step.
Step 1.
Start a new file and then start a new sketch on the XZ Plane.
Sketch a vertical line as shown below at the Origin.
Dimension the Vertical line a height of 3.5mm
Right click on the Vertical line and select Centerline.
Step 2.
Sketch a Horizontal line from the Origin to the right as shown below...
Note the white dot on the end of the Horizontal line.
Dimension from the centerline (pick the centerline) to the white dot (pick the white dot) as shown...
Note that the white dot now changed to black (fully defined).
Step 3.
Sketch a Vertical line and dimension 15mm as shown.
Attach your progress file here for next set of steps.
Keen observation is absolutely critical in the field of design.
Your 56 dimension is a radius rather than diameter (Ø56) as shown in my instructions.
The diametral dimension is the reason we created the Centerline.
Post corrected file here for next set of steps.
