Learn Fusion 360 in 30 Days - Day #6: 3D Model a Hex Nut

This tutorial guides users through creating a 3D model of a hex nut in Fusion 360. It covers setting up document units, using the polygon sketch tool, creating a midplane, and employing the mirror and hole features. The tutorial also demonstrates how to create chamfered edges using the revolve feature and how to ensure the threaded hole is properly modeled for 3D printing.

What is the first step before starting to model the hex nut in Fusion 360?

• Set the document units to inches

• Import a reference image

• Set the document units to millimeters

• Create a new project

Which tool is used to create the initial hex nut shape?

• Rectangle sketch tool

• Circle sketch tool

• Polygon sketch tool

• Spline sketch tool

Why can't the chamfer command be used directly for the hex nut's edges?

• It only works on flat surfaces

• It doesn't follow the inner circular shape

• It requires a different tool

• It is not available in Fusion 360

What feature is used to create the chamfered edges on the hex nut?

• Extrude feature

• Sweep feature

• Revolve feature

• Loft feature

What is the purpose of creating a midplane in this tutorial?

• To add a new sketch

• To create a reference for the mirror feature

• To adjust the model's dimensions

• To split the model into two parts

Which feature is used to create the threaded hole in the hex nut?

• Extrude feature

• Hole feature

• Sweep feature

• Loft feature

What must be selected to ensure the thread is 3D modeled and not just a visual representation?

• Graphical option

• Modeled option

• Visual option

• Rendered option
