After signing in on the browser, we will see a welcome to Fusion and it's going to log us in to Autodesk Fusion. We'll notice a few getting started guides. We'll click next and it's going to want us to create a hub.
What is a Fusion hub? Essentially, it's a website that lets you control all of your Fusion projects in one place. You only see this as a brand new Fusion user. If you've already used Fusion, if you already have a hub, it will not prompt for this.
One thing to note is that you do need a hub to get started. If you want to delete your hub, you actually have to go through a process that can be pretty lengthy, maybe even deleting your account. So it's kind of integral with your Autodesk account.
I'll go ahead and create a hub to get started and I'll give it a name and click next. This will set up our hub and it just takes a few moments. The name of our hub will be at the top and it's ready to use.
We can click on the go-to hub button. This will get Fusion loading again. Only if you're a brand new Fusion user, you might receive this splash screen and it asks about what type of work we'll be doing with Fusion.
