Explaining 3D sketching

- Up until now we've been talking about sketching and in a 2D fashion, where everything was contained within the construction layer that we were inside of. Now, what if we wanted to create geometry that was outside of that plane? And we wanted to come out at a different angle? Well, historically our workflow would be to create a new construction plane and then create a new sketch and then connect those sketches together by linking them at some end point. Or, creating construction geometry that was linked. And we would use these multiple sketches to build this 3D series of sketches that were driving geometry. Now, Fusion 360, has added 3D sketching into its workflow. So this now allows us to build 3D geometry inside of the sketching environment. Now, this is a really powerful tool because now we can create these very complicated, very powerful 3D sketches to help us shape and build our parts. So, here's an example of just a…
