In this presentation, Ben Strano shows woodworkers how to use Fusion 360’s parametric modeling tools to streamline design and build processes. By defining key dimensions—like thickness, length, or angles—as parameters, entire models can update automatically with a single change, making it easy to adapt projects for different materials or sizes. Ben will demonstrate practical applications, …
