F-2 Hybrid Chain
About this Tutorial
This course is intended for intermediate learners of this Fusion 360 and/or interested in the subject of Modeling and CADing. Self-taught users can also profit from the structure to consolidate more developed concepts. Here you will learn to take you model already made in the last tutorials and create 2D representation of it, so you can export you drawings. Then you will learn how to modify and crop your context to be available to 3D Print it. To be available to express your context fully in printed 2D and 3D, to then develop manually an architectural project.

Why take this tutorial
This tutorial is a good checkpoint of the things you develop for your project. After you have already modeled your context with the buildings and topography you can take that model and create 2D representation that you can print to sketch over it and iterate ideas for your project. And also export a model to 3D print so you can have physically a model to see an analyze. This is a good step of your context study to develop your architecture ideas.
