Previewing the Preferences

Fusion 360 offers a ton of preferences to customize your design environment. If you’re coming from another CAD tool like SolidWorks or Inventor then you likely already have an established workflow. A few settings in Fusion 360 can be tweaked to make you feel like you’re right at home. To open the preferences, left-click your name in the top right corner of Fusion 360 and select Preferences.

Design History

Next, up, head into General > Design and take a look at the Design History option. By default, Fusion will capture every change made to your design in a timeline. This process is called Parametric Modeling and is great when you need to capture specific features and define the relationship between parts.

Turning off design history allows you to work in a Direct Modeling environment. This lets you quickly create geometry without having to worry about individual features.

Which one is better, Direct or Parametric Modeling? That depends on your specific design needs. Keep these thoughts in mind:

 

Parametric Modeling is great for designs that require exact requirements and manufacturing constraints. For example, you might be working on a family of products that all share the same core design but have slight variations in individual features. Activating the design history in this situation would be useful so you can quickly edit individual features.

 

Direct Modeling is more suited for designers that just want to create geometry without worrying about the features and the manufacturability of a design. For example, if you’re just working on a conceptual model then you might not care about the connection between individual parts and just need to define faces.
