The PCB will need to be edited in order to populate the board with components.
In the bottom of the interface, right-click on the PCB icon and select Edit.
Add Components to PCB
In the Browser panel, click on the dropdown icon next to the PCB Component folder.

Find Components
There several websites to download free 3D models of components. The 3D models will need to be in the STEP file format. Here are a few places to get 3D models of components
Fusion 360 Component Generator
Optionally generate 3D models of components using Fusion 360 Package Generator. The video tutorial will walk you through create custom header pins for a PCB.
Select Components
Locate the component you would like to add to the PCB. Click the Open button to select the component.
Move Component
Use the manipulator handles to move and orient the component in it's desired location.
Optionally enter values into the Move PCB Component Body dialog.
Depending on the component, you may need to flip the part to be in the correct orientation.
Adding Components
Use the orbit tool to move around the component to inspect its location. The goal is to place the component as close to the footprint as possible.
Click OK to append the component to the PCB. Proceed to add components using the Replace Component Body feature.
