The Fusion plugin moves 3D models between Vizcom and Autodesk Fusion in both directions.
Studio with a file named Chair concept: an imported 3D model of an orange lounge chair sits on a white canvas. In the Layers panel, the 3D layer Lounge chair is marked 1. Its right-click menu is open (Add to..., Rename, Copy image, Cut image, Duplicate, Create group with layer, Send to front, Send to back, Show/hide, Show/hide all other layers, Export..., Export to Autodesk Fusion, Delete), with Export to Autodesk Fusion and its Fusion icon highlighted and marked 2.

In Studio, right-click a 3D layer (1) and choose Export to Autodesk Fusion (2).

Examples

​
Good to know

  • Vizcom sends an OBJ mesh with no color. Convert it to a solid in Fusion before adding dimensions.
  • The export is only on Studio 3D layers, not image layers or Workbench cards.
  • In the add-in, a single click only highlights a row: double-click to open it.
