Daniel, here's a quick screencast on how to do a cut across that part if this is what you meant. Let me know if you need help with the Project/Include thing. The example I drew is greatly simplified and in metric but I hope will give you a pointer.

Hi DF5152, here's the screencast about the tracking lines in the sketching mode. You're going to have to make this full screen to see the faint blue dashed lines.
Hi Richard, here's a quickie on tracking lines, They are an aid to drawing and they come from the old Autocad. They aren't mandatory, you can get along without them but you'll get the hang of them if you look out for them, now you know.
Michael, here's a five minute screencast to answer your question about finger joints for a square section model aeroplane fuselage in wood. This is just a short segment and the fingers are pretty wide but you can adjust as needed. I haven't thought about tapering toward the tail here. The four pieces are aligned, not jointed but its a start.
Up to date Fusion 360?
Hi crozwayne, its very unlikely you need to re-install Fusion 360 because it is all set up to update itself automatically. If you're not connected to the internet it almost won't run and it'll be giving you plenty of messages about re-connecting to the net. Here is a quick screencast about how to see if your software is up-to-date.
Those who saw the Future Engineering Newsletter #4 about the Best and Worst of Autodesk Help will be looking for this. Here are the self-paced video courses in Fusion 360 provided by Autodesk, the owner of Fusion 360. I haven't been through most of these, there are many, many hours of instruction here but the quality level will be pretty high although varying due to a range of teachers with their own styles. See the next post for some other Autodesk video course material that I would suggest you avoid. Stick with these ones, they're pretty good.
Craig, thanks for your question about selection problems; where you try to select the angled plane but get the orthogonal plane instead. Here I demonstrate the click and hold selection, just mouse over what you want and hold down that left click.
In answer to a question from Robert about saving out a DXF file from a Fusion 360 model when you have the "Personal Use" license. Really, I ask another question...
Hi James, here is a comparison between the Align command and a Rigid Joint with the tee piece you downloaded from McMaster Carr. From your question I think you'll need a Rigid Joint and I point to some of my tutorials where you can learn how to do this.
Hi Andrew, here's a demo of the loft command where I make the spoke between a wheel hub and rim and then pattern it around. Its out of proportion but you will get the idea. Does this answer your question?
In answer to Bo's question on copying a sketch with text in order to edit and to save modeling a sign over and over whenever there is a different message. Bo you're using CNC but my illustration with the emboss feature should be similar enough.
Fusion 360 - rocket parts
Doug's rocket parts, just the right level of difficulty for someone who has just completed the 16 basic tutorials.
