Fusion 360 | Case Study 24

[@cozyozy7712]

correct me if i’m wrong but you should be able to use an offset plane instead of making an undefined sketch and patching it for the replace face

[@Fusion360School]

Wow, this is a complete revelation to me. I just went to try it and it works. It was able to work even on primary planes. I was not aware that the replace face command accepts planes. Thank you for this!

[@DanteEhome]

For me myself I hardly use patch surface option. I prefer offset plane and project instead, and use loft or whatever necessary.

[@ZPositive]

Brilliant as always! I need to keep the ruled surface command in mind.

[@ianpendlebury9503]

I must remember the ruled surface approach for future use. Thanks.

[@joepasqua1751]

Another very useful video. I don't take advantage of the surface workspace nearly enough. Workflows like this remind me that I'm missing out and need to keep it more front-of-mind.

[@smorris12]

I agree. Thinking about it I suppose we're *only* ever dealing with surfaces - many just happen to be tied together as solids!

[@rbrdly]

You have really de-mystified the surfacing functions for me. Thanks!

[@SatansLtlBaby]

so much good stuff in this one. excellent demonstration.

[@andyparadis342]

As usual superb, not only do I learn about functionality but many ideas on workflow.

[@jpjpJPJPG]

I made 3 profile sketches to make a surface loft and it made the curve and profiles match the drawings really well. Then I thickened to the outside since that's what the drawing indicated, extruded faces that were too far in on the top curved portion and used split body (planes as tools) and remove.

[@jpjpJPJPG]

@Fusion360School is there a way to achieve uniform thickness without setting the Thicken feature to symmetrical?

[@ruudb72]

Wow! Some very nice tricks an well explained. Very good video!

[@lukaszb1282]

Great work :) Replace face is a cherry on top :) working with split body will need more work...

[@rbyt2010]

Another home run! Ruled surface. Didn’t know!

[@francoisepantais7165]

in french: c'est juste fantastique: ruled surface = surface réglée. Bravo +++

[@gordon6029]

Excellent! Thank you.

[@TOMMYVERMAAK]

great tutorial thanks

[@andyhelipilot3528]

Fantastic as usual🎉

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

I commented on this before but put a link in the description so I don't think it showed up. I like the technique you used here! Very clever as long as it isn't to be sheet metal(which you state). One other method that could work depending on the design intent is to extrude the bottom, sweep the top and then loft between the two of them. It is hard to tell from the reddit drawing what that intersection should be.

[@americorosales2085]

veyr good and nice thanks for sharing with me you tutorial,

[@gauravmathur4940]

Love your video. You make simple and needed topics . 👍 Keep it up . And wish you lots of success.

[@totoffe6234]

Bonjour J'ai encore appris de bonne choses (merci le sous-titres FR) encore merci pour ce tutoriel très instructif.

[@NoRiEvent]

Great stuff right here! This will help me a lot, definitely!

[@WPGinfo]

Thank you. I tried to do the case study myself, before watching your video, and succeeded. Then I watched your video to see how you did it. Although the end-result is the same, your approach was more simple and effective. On top of that I've learned a few new things. Great fun!

[@Fusion360School]

Good to know. Curious to know how you did it.

[@glennvillegas9941]

Would love to see you do a twist lock mechanism.

[@Flachknipser]

I always look forward to learning something from your videos, thumbs up. Please keep up the good work. 👍

[@alexk7723]

Amazing videos! Keep up with a great job!

[@SlavaChrome]

So simply great idea! =)

[@DanteEhome]

For me, The green and red part can be modeled in 3 tools: Extrude for blue. extrude for red with flat surface, and sweep for the curve. Then I will do plane cut and merge the parts.

[@denysupradi2373]

Thanks for information 🤗

[@Bartek-ut9cp]

Great job!

[@HotCarTrack]

That was excellent, thank you.

[@chilango2432]

Brilliant

[@aytunch]

why were the steps after 11:00 necessary? weren't the object fully defined at that point? Why did we go back and make the last sweep?

[@Gefionius]

The last sweep was an alternative method only, not needed at all

[@MassimoG]

Interesting would be to know how this sheet is realized in practice.

[@DerekSpeareDSD]

Instructive!!

[@TecSanento]

Could we use the swipe along spline as well? (or how is it called when sketch is moved/extruded along another sketched line?)

[@ZPositive]

Sweep? He does this in the last section of this video.

[@TecSanento]

@@ZPositive mhm - sorry :D did watch the complicated step, skipped a little and broke off :/

[@VinayVarsani]

I thought this too but then realised the whole holder would then follow the curve unless you broke it up into sections and then intersected

[@irtazamaqsood5436]

Sir when u start working on mesh

[@emanggitulah4319]

An extruded +a sweeped surface and a trim would have done it in less steps 🙏

[@zergovrock5277]

pro

[@428Mario]

So you figured how to make a part that is idiotic to try to manufacture, good for you
