Fusion 360 - Wavy Panel

A panel with a wave like structure using spines for peaks and valleys and lofting in the patch environment.

Very helpful! Thank you Peter

[@josepenagonzalez651]

I've been looking for exactly this for a month now.. Thank you so much. I hope you do more panels.

[@TrippyLighting]

Well .... what panels would you want to see me doing ?

@@TrippyLighting Great tutorial Peter! I'd appreciate if you could show us how you would do something like this: gallery.autodesk.com/projects/56807/parametric-wall-panel --- gallery.autodesk.com/projects/64144/credenza

[@drewnix7201]

Nice technique. Thanks for showing it.

[@skoods1]

Fantastic! I have been trying to suss this out for ages. Thank you!

[@aviatoFPV]

anyone knows how to wrap this around a cylinder?

[@DalDagor90]

You can try to use sheet metal → unbend

[@robertknauer6517]

Great video. I was able to draw something similar after watching it. One question though; is there a way to make the depth of each valley variable from end to end? In your example, the valleys have a constant depth of 15mm below the peaks. I would like to create variation in height if viewed from the side. Like a 3d spline.

[@TrippyLighting]

Possible, yes, but laborious. You'd have to make as many construction planes as you have different depth valleys and then sketch the appropriate splines on those construction planes. Or you could just move the splines vertically after sketching them on one construction plane in one sketch. I personally would probably work with T-Splines in that case.

beautiful

can we got a low-poly effect panel please?

[@TheEdBrasil]

Dear Sir, could you share the 3d file (fusion f3d or similar) ?

[@TrippyLighting]

Sure, here is the public link to the design a360.co/2VPMoKx

Any volume

[@wardyaworski3206]

how do you keep your patch bodies grouped together like that? It keeps making a new body every time I select the 3 different splines

[@TrippyLighting]

My patches are all individual bodies as well. I simply stitch them together at the end 8:03

[@wardyaworski3206]

Peter Doering thanks! I got er figured

[@elyboy05]

Great video! Do you know how to make a similar wavy panel but where the top is concave and the bottom is convex? Then vice versa pattern throughout the panel? Similar to a window curtain.

[@TrippyLighting]

In the vid I first trace the peaks with splines. Then I create a construction plane and move it down 15 mm and sketch the splines for the valleys. The only difference between that and what you want to achieve is that the construction plane needs to be moved up (+15mm).

[@elyboy05]

@@TrippyLighting Actually I mean where the upper portion of the wave is concave and then it transforms into convex shape halfway down in the same flute of the wave. Then the next single flute is the opposite, where the upper half would be convex and then transform into concave at the lower half. I hope I am being clear enough. I have a 2D drawing on this if you wouldn't mind taking a look at it by email? Thanks :)

[@TrippyLighting]

@@elyboy05 Yes, in that case you would just create one continuous loft through all of the splines.

[@zakj3769]

I am unable to click the individual lines when in loft mode :(

[@marcovalenzuela5947]

Hello, you must use the LOFT function FROM THE SURFACE MENU
