![]() ![]() I was simply saying what needed to be said without the prior aid of the tutorials. Thanks for the link I will give his vids a try. The user innerface is superb in some functions but general, simple and the absolute most common and frequently used functions with an A.I system assisting it is a glorified POS. I'm not going to write off Fusion 360 and will just suffer through it until I'm mister click and zip through it, which I've seen John at NYC CNC do like riding a bike holy crap, but we need to be honest. Why can I not simply select an object, drag it to where I need it, rotate view simply and not have to right click to leave rotation view, grab it again and SLIDE IT OVER THE FKING CYLINDER. I then ask just who are the people at Autodesk and where are they coming from with this technology? ![]() I feel like it's intended to be done with virtually reality gloves and goggles tbh and when they adapt it over for a mouse or pen it is a crude result. ![]() This should be grab, drag and place over the cylinder in any practical system but nooooo, the people at Autodesk create what? Ring placed over a stick shouldn't be this absurd of a process. I want to move a toros I made and link it to the end of a cylinder. It's stupid in every single way when it comes to simple manipulation of an object post creation from moving it to cutting it, joining it, freehand modifying it and so on. Notice that the “extent” option will allow you to set your profile so that it extrudes to the very end of the guide rail path.The control system is just a huge piece of sh#t let's just be honest here. From there, you can set your profile, path, and guide rail in order to extrude your shape. Generally, the profile you’re trying to extrude needs to touch the guide rail and your initial profile. A guide rail is basically a second input you can use to dictate more about the extrusion you’re creating. There’s another interesting option in the sweep tool that allows you to create a shape with a guide rail. Notice that there will be some work required to make this surface into a solid. Note that there is also a sweep function contained inside of surface mode, which we haven’t really discussed much yet, which can allow you to extrude using just a line rather than a filled in profile. This can be really helpful for adding detail to more complex objects. You can also use the sweep function to remove material with the cut function or create intersections. If you look down near the middle of your sweep tool options, you’ll also notice that you can set your swept objects to taper, meaning get larger or smaller along the extrusion, as well as twist – the twist function has some really interesting applications for certain kinds of extrusions. One thing to know about this tool is that it pairs nicely with the plane along path construction plane option – this type of construction plane will add a perpendicular plane to your path, making it easy to sketch profiles. Notice that the sweep tool will automatically turn corners with your profiles, making smooth corners. If you only want it to go part way around your path, you can adjust the distance settings to set the distance the profile follows. Notice that it merges back into itself where your object starts as long as you set your distance to 1. For example, if this path went all the way outside the outside of a shape, we could select the entire shape and the profile would be extruded along the entire path. This works along straight paths like this curve, but it also works along curves that go in a 360 degree circle. The way this tool works is actually pretty simple – simply select a profile, or a sketch shape that you create, select a path, and use the sweep tool to extrude this object along that path. When you first activate this tool, you’ll see that there are actually 3 kinds of sweeps you can do – single path, path + guide rail, and path + surface. This can be especially helpful for creating objects with a profile that need to follow some sort of path in your models. In today’s tutorial, we’re going to talk about how to use the sweep tool inside of Autodesk Fusion 360 to create shapes along a set path.ĭo you like these Fusion 360 Tutorials?
