Cool, thanks- I had forgotten about Alias before Maya. I was introduced to radial when Maya came out (somebody demo'd in, I was interested by couldn't afford it).
I think of Fusion 360 as being more descended from Inventor (which defined a lot of my early expectations for 3d modelling). I'm only a hobbyist and I used Fusion 360 with large (mesh) surfaces (it got significantly better at meshes recently) and it definitely got clunky, although the performance is fine when working with parameteric brep objects.
I've been using Autodesk products (starting with 2D AutoCAD on a 286 running DOS) for quite a while (35 years).
