Viewport enhancement: Multiple Views

[Anonymous]

Build 2.0.1403

I've just updated to this build and I am taking the new features for a spin.

Thank you for the new Multiple Views feature! Not logged enough time yet to check for any issues (at this time).

It is particularly useful for the type of work I want to do with Fusion. I have been evaluating application on design of large structures such as bridges.

Very large radius curves (i.e. camber) are a requirement of bridge structures. With one viewport, navigating & sketching was frustrating / laborious  / suseptible to human errors.

With multiple views (interacting); Easier tracking and continuity of critical points of the sketch should be now possible - so many thanks again!

wait - you do architecture / construction in Fusion?

That's some cool cocktail umbrella!

I am evaluating Fusion's capabilities for use in design of bridge structures (now, primary focus on steel fabricated and moving structures, eventually, hoping to learn the sculpture tools). Prior to Fusion, I have modelled various bridge structures and elements with Autodesk Inventor, on project, as there are some significant advantages. My experience is that Fusion / Inventor needs to be used in close conjunction with Autodesk Civil 3D - this manages all the critical control points and curves in the geospatial context. See Dynamo BIM for computational design. It is my understanding that it now implements Fusion's geometry engine.

Meanwhile...need to get round to completion of 120m spine bridge using Fusion 360.

This is very impressive.  Thanks for sharing.  Are you evaluating Fusion for a particular project?  Curious to know what made you explore Fusion for bridge structures.  

Thanks,

Prabakar.

I am carrying out retrospective studies on a number of old projects (generally where insufficient time, perceived cost, no management buy-in existed).

This allows for modelling within actual design constraints and controls (structural, geospatial, cost, SHE, etc). Exploration of Fusion is my evolution from the previous successful implementations of Inventor >>> Inventor Fusion >>> Fusion 360. Accurate control of geometry, implementation of parametrics, implementation of joints & motion studies are all applicable to design of bridge structures.

I also prefer the 'pure' design / engineer interaction that Inventor / Fusion affords - modelling on spec, the various elements of the design. I need to log time with BIM systems such as Revit - but my impression has been that of 'boxed in' through the methodology of those types of BIM applications.

Often, the Fabricator is now using Inventor or the equivalent. It makes sense, to use a directly compatible system such as Fusion 360 for hand-over of CAM issues.

Awesome! The only thing that is limiting me right now from implementing Fusion in my work is that drawings/drafting is pretty much incomplete in F360
