    Benefits of going base model over the other free option?
  • @Pendleton115
    Prismatic Solid insta crashes my Fusion instance. Nice 👍
  • @matousrokos2287
    Any plans on better performance and stability improvements for conversions? It doesn't utilize HW at all and still crashes most of the time for whatever reason
  • @gkoornhof
    Day 168 of asking for proper Dark Mode in Fusion

    Okay wait a minute!!! Why is my fusion 360 not responding when I try it? I’ve purchased a PC because I did’t want these kind a problem but it always happens to me!! I got the highest core i7 processor with 2 32GB Ram DDR5 and a RTX 4060!!! What can I do to fix it?
  • @Diehard754
    The terrible faceted option is free and the useful prismatic option is behind a paywall. Yay!
  • @kurushii7
    Wait! What? STL to solid body in one click

    Buggier than wine programs ran on a Hackintosh with an AMD GPU and incorrect plist files
