Creating Wrapped 4th Axis Geometry - Fusion 360

[@AirRider-ez5of]

It's amazing how fast you created this part. For the tutorial, however, it would perhaps be more convenient if you shifted down a gear, so that one can follow along a bit better. But at least you can stop the video.

[@istasyonninsani]

Wuooh! I see shortcuts! Or I just fell , its still hard to catch what you've done first who come from solidworks for me, but we got replay :) Thanks Xander!

[@Wernerrrrr]

I like the speed of this tutorial.

[@robhughes-games5851]

MATE!! Love it. Thanks for this!

[@captdan7876]

dude ! i'm trying to make a Camtono... and i think this is the lesson ive been missing ! LoL For the exterior wrapped features... i'm still a baby begginer !

[@eric8737]

Wow. Brilliant.

[@Auday365]

Very nice and productive video, thank you.

[@ReedCBowman]

So in the first or second cut feature, if you needed it to be over a precise arc, how would you do that? These linear projections onto a curved surface are maddeningly imprecise, and your use of the word "wrapped" made me assume you were going to tell us how to do a properly wrapped feature. For example, if my shape had to wrap 180 or even 360 degrees around the form, rather than a short way like your first cut, the result from these actions would not work, since the cut, projected from a flat plane, would simply miss the cylinder. How do you actually wrap a sketch around a cylinder?

[@Frankenstein786]

Reed Bowman you can't.

[@jamesborden7112]

As Reed said none of what you did is wrapping.

very good tutorial. enough info but not too long

[@mikevslc]

This just saved my lifeeeee 🙏🏼

[@joshswain7413]

Followed the steps but when I try to delete the split body face, it comes up with a delete body error. Can you help?

[@3dprintwiz378]

What if you already have an existing asset and you want it wrapped around a cylinder or any curve surface. Kinda like shrinkwrap in blender, which allows all assets to be place in any curved surface for easy modeling.

[@Hattinchannel]

Nice tutorial how do i do this with text? Do i need to make a cylinder and keep the wrapped text alone? I dont want the cylinder just the wrapped text i tried it as metal sheet but it wouldnt delete the cylinder after i make the wrap it stays all as one pcs thanks in advance for any tip

[@XanderLuciano]

Yea that's about reaching the limitations of fusion and wrapping currently (sadly). Using 2 sheet metal parts to make 2 180degree half cylinders and "wrapping" around the bend is essentially the only way.

[@Hattinchannel]

Xander Luciano i used the metal sheet type then finally found a way to offset the faces then changed them into objects sadly as you said its quite a workaround that would be an important point to address by Autodesk

[@ludmilaaltman257]

If you'll make section of your "wrapped" feature, you'll see that walls of your feature are parallel. It is not wrap, it is simple cut. Check in Inventor command "Wrap"

[@jacobtrolo2310]

How does one make the rotary axis (A-Axis) cutting available in Fusion 360 for parts that are NOT symmetric? I will be producing absolutely NO parts in the future which are symmetric. So I need this option.

[@CaroleMorin]

You showed exactly what I wanted to know but I think my video was playing at 3 x the speed it should have. You should specify that it's for experts.

[@needlejig]

For some reason I am not able to extrude a line to make a split face even if I create the same dimensions that you have in the video. The extrude dialog box opens but I am not able to select the single curved line. My icons on my toolbar look a little different than yours also. Could I be working in a different version? That does not really make sense seeing how it is all cloud based.

[@XanderLuciano]

Hello Marc, I have customized my toolbar, but we are both running the same version. It could be that you aren't using an offset plane, your sketch might be behind something and therefore can't be selected, you could have a selection filter enabled, or it could be something else. Can you make a screencast of you trying to do the split face and post the link for me to look at? Thanks!

[@JHV166]

I think you may be missing a step. Make sure that you're not in MODEL and rather in PATCH. That will solve your problem. It's an easy mistake to make.

[@needlejig]

You are correct Jim Harvey, I was still in Model mode. Thanks guys!

[@annaparetas3269]

For everyone having this issue 2021, Fusion 360 has changed and PATCH is now SURFACE, and it works! :)

[@savagestyle124]

is this model avail for training?

[@godziu2]

Why can't i pick dimention like you in 2:28 i just can't click on that edge ?? anyone ?

[@ludmilaaltman257]

First-it is not wrap Second-using letters for the commands-AutoCAD 12 (25 years ago)

[@stuarthardy4626]

Thanks for that

[@jimswartz781]

i can not get the 'bodies' to joint. The message is that they are bodies not components help

[@whirlarc5916]

[@harbitude]

Yeah think you could have gone a little faster ?

[@XanderLuciano]

I guess I could have tried to stretch this out to 10 minutes for that extra adsense money, but why waste time ;)

[@bengacz]

@@XanderLuciano Thank You for not doing so. There are tons of videos with most of "ammm", "eeee", "let me just try it again" "it's somewhere here". If Your videos are too fast for someone, they can change the "playback speed".

inches... haha
