Zen Tip 1: First thing to do in Fusion 360

First thing to do in Fusion 360:

You have Fusion 360 installed, what's the first thing you should do? Everybody will have their own opinion. One thing you could do first is set your Default Modeling Orientation. 

When you think of the TOP view of your model, do you normally associate that with the Z axis of your part or the Y axis? The default model orientation in Fusion is set so that Y is the normal direction for the top view. If you work in certain industries or do a lot of manufacturing, you may prefer to have the Z-axis be normal to the top view. 

Here is our video for our very first Fusion 360 tip.

Special thanks to GrabCAD, where I grabbed the model, and Scott Russell that put it there.
