Creating a 2D parametric reference model
Let’s take the middle-sized water bottle and use that for our reference. Remember, since Fusion 360 is a parametric model, we can easily create the other models just by changing the dimensions. This time, we will use the parametric manager and use labels such as length, width, and height to change the size of the bottle.
Starting a new project
Open Fusion 360, hit the Save button, and create a folder within your PACKT Publishing project, naming it Ch08 Bottle Reference. Now name the Fusion 360 file Bottle. Change the Units to Millimeter since we took all dimensions in millimeters (refer to Chapter 7 in order to see how to change the units if required).
We can either start the sketches, add the dimensions, and then use the Change Parameters manager to add the parametric label names, or we start off by adding the the Length, Width, and Height parametric names first since we know what names we want to use. Either way, you can always...
