Now, adjust the model size until you get a form that is pleasing. Click on the pencil under Manufacturing Settings and specify the width, length and exact thickness of the material you are going to use. It is important to consider what you are going to make the model out of. You will end up slicing the model, and you may have to rotate the Slice Direction so the material stacks as horizontal layers. Thanks to jon-a-tron for answering this on the Autodesk Forums. It will launch Slicer, and at that point you can open the STL file you want to use just fine. KNOWN BUG: if you get the error message "File has failed to open in Slicer for Fusion 360, please try again", select instead a simple non-STL geometry (e.g. Slicer for Fusion 360, and it will launch as a new program (which used to be a standalone product called 123D Make). Browse to your downloaded STL file, and open it. Open Fusion 360 and make sure you're in the DESIGN space, and select Insert.
