Let's Model! - Sheet Metal Rail | Autodesk Fusion 360 | 3D model, flat pattern DXF, drawing

[@swamihuman9395]

- Late to the party, but @ 9:39, sketch not needed: simply 'Extrude' the face.

[@swamihuman9395]

- BTW, 'Offset Faces' would be nice (would only require 1 feature, not 2, as w/ 'Extrude') - BUT alas, it drags adjacent faces w/ it. So, that's a no go :(

[@nemoengineering]

Hey! Great catch! While Press/Pull or Offset Faces drags the whole chain, extrusion just extends just the target surface. Nice one!

[@swamihuman9395]

​@@nemoengineering - Yes :) - BTW, I never use 'Press Pull'. It's actually not a tool, but a "multi selector": based on geom selection, it picks between 'Extrude', 'Offset Faces', or 'Fillet'. Instead, I simply select the desired tool (via hotkeys). - And, there are some subtle differences / downsides between these workflows. 'Fusion 360 School' KZbinr has 2 nice vids covering this matter.

@@swamihuman9395 Very cool! I'll be sure to check them out! I've always wanted to get into 'speed modelling'; maybe run some live contests :) Could be fun!

Super good, thank you.

Fairly new to fusion 360 having just started using it a few months ago for my Langmuir crossfire pro plasma cutter. I have been designing everything as “solid” and had no idea why anyone would use the “sheet metal” selection. Then I watch this and see the flat patterning ability! Brilliant! I’m shocked to see your channel is so small. Considering the quality of the video I anticipated you have subs in the 10’s of thousands. Great job!

[@nemoengineering]

Thank you so much!! Your comment made my whole day; I'm glad you enjoyed it!! In truth, work has kept me busy, but I'll be sure to keep uploading!!

[@RYuua_K]

i corrected my cnc machining part by watchin this. a lot thx::::

[@nemoengineering]

Aah! I'm delighted to hear it, Seigo! Well done!

[@catherinevalenciasantos4340]

Thank you so much for your videos! I am having so much fun with these 3D modelling videos!! I just got Fusion 360 a few days ago and thanks to your videos Fusion 360 is going a lot easier than what I thought. Awesome!!!

[@nemoengineering]

AAH!! Catherine! I am delighted to hear you say that!! 3D modelling is a lot of fun if you let it be! I'll be sure to keep the videos coming! Keep up the great work, and thanks for watching!

[@jojobarwick]

Top notch stuff mate.

[@nemoengineering]

Thank you, Jojo!! I'll be sure to keep it coming!!

Thanks!!! 🙏

[@KendraTroschelArt]

Thank you for a great video!! I quite enjoy fusion 360 but Im quite limited in what I can do, so I enjoy these videos very much! :D

[@nemoengineering]

Thanks for watching, Kendra!!

[@nemoengineering]

Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you learned something in this video, and feel once again the joys of 3D modelling! (And a tolerance for drawing!)

[@sciencebabyy]

Thank you! it was so helpful

Aaah! You're welcome!! Thanks for watching, Wooramsol!!

Is there a quick way to remove chamfer or convert it to a fillet?

[@nemoengineering]

Hello! I'm not sure if there's a way to convert, but you can definitely delete the chamfer in a few ways! - If you have the features tree active, find the feature, select and delete it. - If you don't have the features tree (i.e. you just have geometry), you should be able to select all the chamfered faces (holding Shift) and delete them with the delete key. Let me know how you go!

[@twinscrolled]

@@nemoengineering Thank you that worked perfectly.

[@salmansheikh6202]

Hey boy You are great job I want ask something Sheet metal work is create to every corner fillet radius Its possible i do create box. Every four side is sharp it .means 45 cut 2 sheet after join 90 angel No radius And after create i do unfold?

[@nemoengineering]

I'll see what I can do next video!

[@jonivanart]

I’m be tried the projection to a sketch with the bend lines about 15 times yet it still won’t work on Send Cut Send. Something has changed in fusion because the drawing doesn’t look anything like yours. Can you refer me to an updated video on how to do this please?

[@parthapratimnath7053]

Great! One Q pls, can we make a way to both projection and flat pattern in one drawing page? (like CAD DWG)

[@nemoengineering]

Hi Partha! You can absolutely do that! There are two ways: A) In the drawing environment: - Go to the sheet with your folded (projection view). - At the top left, click 'Base View'. - In the dialogue, for the 'Representation', select 'Flat Pattern'. - Place this down in your sheet. B) In the modelling environment: - Make sure the drawing file is open (this part is important for later). - Go back to your 3D model file. - Activate the Flat Pattern (13:22 in the video). - At the top left, change the environment from 'Design' to 'Drawing -> From Design'. - In the dialogue, change 'Drawing' from 'Create New' to the drawing you have opened. When you do this, a new field 'Sheet' will appear. You can then select the sheet in your drawing onto which you want to place the flat pattern. - I cover this in my other video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/omndYouPnamer8k (at 20:52). Have fun modelling! Thank you for watching!

@@nemoengineering Hi, it is yyyyyyaaaa, I like you Mr.

[@bilwright4628]

Drawings are kinda important when you are designing parts....... just my opinion

[@YelloTrailers]

I can tell this mate is an Aussie lol

You got me! One time I nearly forgot to flip the video upside down!
