00:00:07,800
There are times we' ll need to analyze the models to find out specific dimensions.

00:00:13,333
inspect lets you analyze the models features for position size and distance.

00:00:19,900
to get started, select the inspect icon from the toolbar.

00:00:24,666
the dialogue has options to select face, edge, vertex,

00:00:29,466
body,

00:00:31,200
or component.

00:00:32,966
precision lets you specify the level of resolution that fusion will report back.

00:00:39,000
how many places past the decimal point will be displayed for the number.

00:00:43,700
for this lesson we'll be analyzing points, distances and sizes of the models features.

00:00:50,166
you can click any point or edge to get information about the part. so to find a position

00:00:55,666
I'm going to move my cursor over the vertex of any given edge and click it,

00:01:01,166
and when I do that, inspect will report the XYZ position for the point that I clicked.

00:01:08,033
to find a 3D distance simply select another point.

00:01:13,266
I'll grab the bottom of this edge

00:01:15,900
and it tells me the distance between those two points.

00:01:19,433
here I have the coordinates for position one and the coordinates for position two.

00:01:23,033
now if I want to know the incremental distance between those two points, I can click on XYZ Delta

00:01:30,633
and that will give me the XYZ incremental distance between those two points.

00:01:36,400
to clear all the selections, simply click on the arrow next to restart selection.

00:01:42,433
for our purposes we need to find out the size of the fillets in these corners

00:01:47,800
and determine what size tool we're going to use to cut those out.

00:01:52,833
to do that simply hold down the shift key

00:01:55,433
and select that face. this time for our selection

00:01:59,433
it tells us the radius of that fillet, the diameter,

00:02:04,166
the area that it occupies

00:02:06,166
and the loop length. which is the perimeter distance around that face.

00:02:11,400
So with a .150 radius in that corner we should be able to finish that pocket

00:02:16,633
with 1/4 inch diameter end mill.

00:02:19,333
we also need to know the size of the holes so again I will hold a my shift key

00:02:24,566
and mouse over the hole until I see a full representation of the hole and give it a click.

00:02:31,566
here tells me the radius and diameter for that hole. so we'll be able to drill those holes

00:02:37,266
with an 1/8" diameter drill.

00:02:41,966
so that's how we can extract information

00:02:44,166
about the sizes of feature
