Fusion 360 - Create a Feature on a Cylinder Wall

[@nodswal]

Great Video's, you are very concise. Keep it up!

[@andrewwilmot1440]

The old videos are always the best. Thank you for the information! Very helpful.

[@milanmondal7851]

Precise, short and no nonsense

[@ACinFL]

Thank you so much, I was stuck on my design until I watched this, easy and straight to the point :-)

[@SolidRockMachineShopInc]

Thanks Kevin, I have ran into this before so this was very helpful. Steve

[@jessehahka]

Great video! Question: How do you cut out parts of the cylinder surface? I just started learning Fusion 360.

[@MechanicalAdvantage]

Hi Jesse. Sorry, I didn't see your comment. Can you clarify a bit more as to what you are looking for?

[@drpipe]

Hi I'm struggling to create this but from inside the tube ! Any seems very different to me any clues or tips.

[@phanxquang]

Can you use circular pattern to create another feature around the cylinder ? Thanks

[@MechanicalAdvantage]

Yep. Once you have created a feature you can pattern it. Note that construction planes are not currently able to be patterned.

[@bluehandsvideo]

Great topic! Thank you!! :)

[@ronaldhiser860]

I have zero CAD experience, I appreciate this. I've been bashing my head against a 1/2 cut cylinder trying to create a hook to connect them via every strange way I could come up with. 8 minutes in it's completed, 3D printed perfectly in TPU. You're my hero.

[@CarltonGauss]

I'm trying to do the same thing but with a circle extrusion. How can I constrain the center of the circle so that it lies on the cylinder wall? If I just place it there, then it doesn't follow the cylinder around if I move it.

[@tc1890]

Thank you Kevin

[@arcadeuk]

Just what I needed thankyou

[@alvint4944]

Question: the 1inch offset is away from the cylinder wall? or into the cylinder?

[@darkcrowmilitary]

How can i add single line letters and single lines on the surface on that cylinder to engrave it later? I want use trace method for engraving.

[@JointerMark]

Thank you for this very clear and concise description of using constructed tangents!

[@itskevscott]

Excellent. Well explained!

[@hamidnasr]

knowledge translated in a very easy to understand way. i am beginner and i would like to see more of your videos on fusion.

[@jmm09015]

For whatever reason no matter how many times I try this on my copy of fusion it won't work. On my office desktop it works every time.

[@aZnLy96]

thank you so much ::

[@mikedavis4039]

I'm new to CAD and have been watching your tutorials with interest, one thing i'm stuck with is using the revolve function, how to make part of the cylinder into a polygon 6 sided cut from the circumference?

[@ludmilaaltman257]

You can use one of the Work planes XY,XZ,YZ,

[@matthewpare4023]

Super helpful thank you, really clear. I wonder if you would consider making a short tutorial on how to achieve compound angles, I am a furniture maker and trying to create a tapered leg with a rounded/filleted edge. I am struggling to cut the component to an axis or plane to allow the leg to sit flush on the floor and join other components?

[@eutub180]

Thank you for great tutorial! Please, specify - what version of Fusion 360 did you use to record this lesson! I downloaded a trial for latest version and do not see "SKETCH" tab in the top menu (I see there: CREATE, MODIFY, ASSEMBLE, CONSTRUCT, INSPECT, INSERT and SELECT tabs). As I understood - PROJECT command is under SKETCH tab and although I can still create a sketch (from dropping menu of CREATE tab) I can not find PROJECT in any of features. What is the solution?

[@MechanicalAdvantage]

Hi Eugene. Have a look at this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpC6qIeYidFraK8 There have been some UI changes and this video shows some of the differences between old and new.

[@adambergendorff2702]

another great one, Thank You

[@sheldonfernandes8286]

You don't need to offset the plane to a distance...in extrude choose direction -2side...side 1- click on the cylinder and side2 specify distance

[@MechanicalAdvantage]

Half a horse a piece I guess. There are several was this can de dome like most things in cad. I think I did it the way I did it because it is possibly slightly easier to understand than changing the start plane for the extrusion. But you have a valid point.

[@brianwgDK]

Thx so much the first 2 min got me the right tool :-D

[@shesharc]

Spent 2 days trying to figure this part ur video is precise and right to the point thank you

[@billybranson1679]

You present a great class . Thank you

[@andylarkin100]

Another silly question: Does Fusion make a new bodies for the rectangular extrusions you created here (or are they just a part of the original cylinder as a single body)? Thank you.

[@DrCaesarsPalace_MD]

In this example they join the cylinder body. The option for this is at the bottom of the extrude dialog box.

[@OnePotMeals]

Great tip, thank you!

[@Jonathanbaker]

Having problems drawing a oring in a counter bore

[@WreckDiver99]

THANKS! I made a "Desk Grommet" and I could get the drawing to look right, but the "splines" that went around the surface wouldn't print on my 3D Printer...THIS solved the issues!! Thanks!

[@MechanicalAdvantage]

WreckDiver99 Awesome! Glad it helped. I love hearing these stories. Thanks for stopping by.

[@WreckDiver99]

@@MechanicalAdvantage Now that I have the basics of Fusion360 being understood, it's these little things that are really helping take it to the next level.

[@IlanPerez]

thanks. that helped!

[@andylarkin100]

To clarify, when I select "to object" in dialogue box, Fusion automatically Joins /Unions any shape it can extrude to a target shape? If so, does this only work with cylinders, or does it calculate these unions with more complex shapes also?

[@MechanicalAdvantage]

Hi Andy. Yep, this will work with very complicated shapes. As to your bodies question, you can choose. If you look at the lower part of the extruded dialog, Fusion tries to infer what you want to do, in this case join. But if you hit the drop down you can make the extrusion a new body or a new component.

[@andylarkin100]

@@MechanicalAdvantage very valuable information thank you! Do you have a way for people to tip you, such as PayPal, Etc?

[@MechanicalAdvantage]

Hey Andy. Sorry, I don't have anything like that. Watch the videos, leave a comment here and there, tell a colleague or a friend. Those would all be helpful and like a tip. I want to provide information in a concise way that is helpful to a broad audience. That is the goal of this channel and I'm going to make sure there is a steady stream of that for the rest of 2019 and beyond.

[@adrianharrison5208]

Thanks this has been a huge help for me as I am just starting out and I have ran into this on the first project, thank you...

[@MechanicalAdvantage]

Hi Adrian. I did the same when I started with Inventor long ago. I thought it would be helpful for a lot of people. Thanks for the comment.

[@adrianharrison5208]

@@MechanicalAdvantage Yes I would of been stuck without it so thanks so much

[@marlonvelezrocha9128]

podrían hacer un vídeo sobre CAM en tubería, corte a 45 grados, 90 grados, una intersección al centro del cabezal, corte con plasma o router

[@MechanicalAdvantage]

Desafortunadamente todavía no tenemos las herramientas que necesitamos para hacer plasma/láser/aguajet para objetos cilíndricos. Si y cuando esa funcionalidad llega a Fusion 360 sin duda voy a hacer un vídeo para cubrirlo.

[@marlonvelezrocha9128]

@@MechanicalAdvantage Aunque desconozco de CAM, le dedique unas 10 horas al corte de tubos, ya encontre una posible solucion, solo que permite hacerlo en un tubo pero con mas cuerpo, no en el extremo del tubo, el corte lo tienes que hacer del extremo del tubo hacia dentro, yo lo desfase una pulgada hacia dentro, haciendo una interseccion a 90 grados de dos tubos de 6 pulgadas, proyectas el corte en la superficie interna del tubo a cortar, despues conviertes la linea interna de corte en un boceto 3D, de ahi creas un plano en la linea 3D, creas un rectangulo que hara el corte con el comando de "barrido", en el comando barrido donde tiene un valor de 1 se lo cambias a 0.999, ya de ahi haces el CAM en el espacio eliminado con el comando contorno

[@peterbrouwer143]

Awesome vid kevin!

[@MechanicalAdvantage]

Thanks Pete. Hopefully it helped something you were working on.
