Fusion 360 3D Modeling Features 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the purpose of the 'Mirror' feature in Fusion 360's Solid toolbar?
- Creates a reflected copy of a feature, body, or face across a mirror plane (Correct answer)
- Duplicates a body at a specified distance
- Rotates a body 180 degrees
- Flips the direction of a feature
Correct answer: Creates a reflected copy of a feature, body, or face across a mirror plane
The Mirror feature generates a symmetrical copy of selected features or bodies reflected across a specified plane.
Question 2: Which Fusion 360 command duplicates a feature or body in a linear or circular pattern?
- Pattern (Correct answer)
- Mirror
- Copy/Paste
- Duplicate
Correct answer: Pattern
The Pattern command (Rectangular or Circular) replicates features or bodies at defined intervals along a line or around an axis.
Question 3: In Fusion 360, what does the 'Thicken' command do to a surface body?
- Adds thickness to a surface to convert it into a solid body (Correct answer)
- Scales a surface uniformly
- Offsets a surface in one direction only
- Applies a material thickness property
Correct answer: Adds thickness to a surface to convert it into a solid body
Thicken takes a surface (no volume) and gives it a defined thickness, converting it into a solid body.
Question 4: What is the function of 'Offset Plane' in Fusion 360?
- Creates a new construction plane parallel to an existing face or plane at a set distance (Correct answer)
- Moves an existing plane to a new location
- Scales the work plane
- Rotates a plane around an edge
Correct answer: Creates a new construction plane parallel to an existing face or plane at a set distance
Offset Plane generates a new reference plane that is parallel to the chosen face or plane, offset by a specified distance.
Question 5: Which Fusion 360 feature adds a tapered angle to the walls of an extruded solid?
- Draft (Correct answer)
- Taper
- Chamfer
- Shell
Correct answer: Draft
The Draft command applies an angular taper to selected faces relative to a pull direction, commonly used for mold design.
Question 6: What does 'Stitch' do in Fusion 360's Surface workspace?
- Joins open surface bodies into a single closed surface or solid (Correct answer)
- Sews a sketch profile onto a surface
- Adds thickness to a surface patch
- Aligns surface edges to a curve
Correct answer: Joins open surface bodies into a single closed surface or solid
Stitch combines adjacent surface bodies by joining their shared edges into one unified surface, and if fully enclosed, can create a solid.
