Extrude 2
This video, explores additional functionality within the Extrude tool in Fusion 360, focusing primarily on the Taper Angle feature [00:00]. After setting up a base sketch, the instructor demonstrates that a positive taper angle causes the extrusion to expand outward (adding material), while a negative taper angle causes it to come inward (subtracting material at an angle), which is useful for creating angled pockets and parts [01:17]. The second part of the video covers how to find useful measurement properties of the component, such as Volume, Area, and Mass (Weight), by right-clicking the component and checking its properties [02:00]. Additionally, the video shows how to use the Inspect tool to find the area and perimeter of individual faces [02:39].
