My past experience, exporting from Sketchup in DXF or DWG only imports as a wireframe. It fails, when you want to export for CAD/CAM. Sketchup is easier, and has many Plug-ins to assist you in modeling. Making the comparison of Sketchup vs Fusion 360, is like comparing apples to oranges. It was nice seeing your interest in it too… I think we're singing out of the same book! I have been studying videos like these, in my links, and about ready to plan and tackle some projects I have been wanting to do for a long time.

That is what got me looking at Fusion… THEN, it became obvious that it was a fantastic Design tool, better than SU… So, I am going with Fusion, at least for Woodworking project design whether I get into CNC or not! I have been focusing on Woodworking and the possibility of getting into CNC w/o spending a Fortune to do it.

Sketchup, to me, is one of the WORST User Friendly programs I have ever seen or tried to use!įusion can be frustrating… One MUST take the time to Study and Learn the ropes, commands, tricks, etc. To me, Fusion has done it Right and is much more direct to the point of getting something done… by using them! Awesome!īeautifully done, IMHO of a Life in Data Processing Systems, Programming, etc. I love the way Parameters can be used and Design changes made so quickly, etc. I posted links to make Woodworking the Main Objective… & I felt most of us would be interested in it. Thank you for the Link! I was strapped for time & didn't feel like Searching LJ, etc.
