Z-up is the new Y-up.

Let me explain.

There's been a recent update to Fusion 360 that may confuse you when you create a sketch.

The default orientation for the work plane use to be Y = up but they have now changed it to Z = up.

Basically what that means is that the little image you see in the middle of the screen when you get ready to select a sketching plane will look like this:

If you are taking one of my courses where the orientation is set to Y-up you may want to change the settings to Y-up in order to make the course easier to follow.

It's easy to do.

Simply click on the upper right hand corner of the screen where you see your name and select Preferences.

Then change where it says "Default Modeling Orientation" to Y-up instead of Z-up.

Open a new design to see the change.

Fusion 360 is constantly updating their software.

I'll be monitoring these updates and will be sending emails when I feel it's something you should be aware of.

I will also start sending tips and tricks and other valuable info to help you become a pro at this stuff.

So make sure to keep a lookout for my emails.

Also, If you haven't yet, make sure to subscribe to my youtube channel where I post helpful content regularly. Here's a recent video I did about the new updates.
