Using Hidden Components to Create Joint Motion in Autodesk Fusion 360

 Special motion joints require the ability to apply multiple joints to the system.  This is where the use of hidden components can make the job a snap.  You use these hidden components, which I call "Dummy" components, to carry joints that cannot be applied to the same component but must be available to acquire the motion you need.  In the video, I use three examples where this technique works very well.  I only do one planetary gear of the system shown below but by repeating the steps you can build the complete system.
