Thanks for the video, it was helpful. The create pattern part was a little bit confusing at first because I wasn't using your exact measurements when I was doing it, so I had to figure out where the numbers you plugged into the pattern box came from. Suppose that made me learn something lol. Thanks again, keep it up.

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

You´re welcome

[@Thee_Lord_of_Darkness]

This is a great tutorial, its been melting my brain trying to figure out a good way of doing a mesh. Thank you. :)

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

You´re welcome

[@dsp4392]

Combining a flange with a solid object to fold it is an amazing hack. Just tested it and it actually works the other way around too. You can combine a bent flange with a solid, then unfold the compound object. This lets you flatten any solid. I found that process very useful for wrapping geometry around arbitrarily curved surfaces on solids. Thanks a lot for sharing that trick!

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

Great, you´re welcome

[@kirankarthik3568]

thanks a lot.. have been hanging to many videos to get to know about this.. finally well explained sir.

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

Great, you´re welcome

[@vladcastillo1999]

Very cool this is exactly what I needed !

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

Great :)

[@sugarnpeach]

Thank you! I learned a ton and the tutorial was very helpful. At least I now know a few things to use with the sheet metal tab. :)

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

Great :)

[@ERJKILLER]

Muito legal, técnica fácil e direta. Obrigado por partilhar!

you´re welcome

[@nathanking2484]

Thank you. A great and useful video :)

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

🙂

[@robertogonzales9160]

Great video! This trick was hard to duplicate because Fusion defaulted to creating a new component when using the combine operation. I think combine and split only work with bodies.

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

Thanks :)

[@Zamir321]

Your amazing sir!!!!!

This is the less complex version ;)

großartig!!

[@thePavuk]

just wow. This is ingenious.

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

Thanks 🙂

[@11mroscar]

one tip that i did find, is that I wanted to make my polygon 10mm as in the video he did his as 15mm. The issue I found that was when duplicating on the x acis they wouldn't line up. i assume I was doing something wrong but in the end I just changed the size to half what this guy used so 7.5mm so worked well in the end. I was probs doing something wrong

Hi can you do a tutorial on hexagonal convex lens? Thank you!

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

so what would a hexagonal convex lens look like?

[@dwighthuth3657]

Is your tutorial able to be applied to a curved surface, such as a fishing lure?

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

Simple put - No. But you should have come to that conclusion yourself.

[@yyavuzpala]

Will this sheet metal bending trick work on Solidworks?

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

It is no necessary in solidworks, so?

[@minoman6434]

Danke,für die top Erklärung! Kannst du vielleicht noch erklären,wie man die Stege breiter macht? LG

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

Zur Klärung - was bezeichnest Du als Stege?

[@minoman6434]

@@wolfgang.walden.cad.training ich meinte damit,die Ränder vom hexagon.

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

Ok, verstehe. Einfach die Thickness/Stärke/Dicke beim Web-Feature ändern

[@minoman6434]

@@wolfgang.walden.cad.training Danke,hatte es übersehen!!

[@jbe6697]

Im back again after trying to model in blender... I think it’s better to Import the obj file to blender later and do the rest like rendering and stuff there

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

Yes it would be better ;)

[@P-kun26]

can anyone help tell me how to determine the construction line? like he said since i want to pattern it that direction this has to be construction line. how to know? and what would happen if I didn't change the correct lines into construction lines and also how to determine the distances?

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

Sorry, you have to ask more precise and with timestamp.

[@P-kun26]

@@wolfgang.walden.cad.training during 4:55 - 5:02 you said this should be construction line.. and this one I suppose.. why those lines? what happens if all the lines were non constructions lines. and during around 5:57 when you're pulling the patterns, how do you know what numbers to put in to make the patterns connect to one another?

[@PauloRicardo-pp4ml]

I want to do this in a surfboard for 3d printing. Is there any chance if I send the file?

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

Sorry, I have no time at all. I´m stil busy with trainings - even now!

[@PaulColeVFX]

how would you wrap that pattern uniformly aroudn a multicurved surface . a cone or a concave?

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

Sorry, at the moment no idea.

[@PaulColeVFX]

@@wolfgang.walden.cad.training I did some messing. A cone is the same as a cylinder just emboss a sketch The concave and convex are much more of a challenge. I’m surprised that fusion didn’t take the code from open sourced blender for projecting sketches to a surface of any shape using uv

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

Regular surfaces are not really a strength of fusion.

[@waskito3443]

wouldn't this work by just drawing the texture directly on the sheet metal?

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

Instead of asking you might try it yourself, shouldn´t you? But, how would you draw the "texture" curved on the sheet metal?

[@moshet842]

I have no idea why you used a distance of 25.98 at 5:51

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

In order to make it work, you have to use the distance between two of those hexagons - and that is in this case 25.98.

[@adamlandrum4557]

I keep getting Error: Attempt to sweep zero length vector while using the web command.

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

And??? I would assume that your "web" in the sketch has gaps.

[@zacharyskinner2014]

how did you figure out that the distance was 15.98?

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

I drew one hexagon and measured the distance.

[@JasonEllingsworth]

You did this in a little bit strange way, that maybe wasn't 100% efficient...however you got the job done and explained things well. Thank you.

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

I try to do those exercises as similar as possible in all 8 programs, so these exercises might not be "best practice" in every case. But in order to give feedback you have to be more precise. "little bit strange way" and "wasn´t 100% efficent" is not helpful in any way. So if you have suggestions how to improve it in fusion 360 you should mention it in your comment, best with timestamps.

[@JasonEllingsworth]

@@wolfgang.walden.cad.training in the future you should focus on the positive parts of the comment, and not the vague minor critiques that ultimately don't matter. I have no desire to sit and dissect your video with specific ways I would do things different from you, especially with timestamps. There are things that can be learned by doing things different ways, and again I thank you for your work in showing us them.

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

Sorry, I tend to see always the negatives or errors first and immediately. Which is by the way quite helpful if you are a teacher/trainer by profession. But it might not be very "educational", I know ;)

[@michaels3003]

@@wolfgang.walden.cad.training , no; your reply was very appropriate. Thank you for the video.

[@AnthonyGarcia-uk5ou]

@@wolfgang.walden.cad.training The video was great @ishmael Maphingers just wanted to critique without having an answer. Im glad you called him out, his comment was pointless.

[@Crispy_Critter]

really irritating to watch someone try to figure something out when they ostensibly trying to teach you something. Planning ahead and scripting produces much better tutorials

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

Guess what, I ´m completely aware of that. But you should have noticed - I´m not a full time KZbinr. I´m a fulltime trainer, who does paid trainings for a living. So these videos, more than 1400 videos (for free covering 8 (!) different cad-programs), are not at all the source of my income. I do these in my leisure time after a 8-hour training day. By the way - feel free to do "better" videos yourself 😉
