how to do 3d intersection curve like in inventor?

[GPTech2444]

there is the intersection curve command in fusion but it doesn't make any sense to me.

Like it is shown in this youtube video by Wolfgang Walden

He combines two arcs in different planes to create a sweep for a manifold.

I've tried but couldn't work it out.

Thanks,

Grant.

When you use the intersection curve command make sure you do not have a sketch active. The start the intersect curve command and then select an origin plane to attach the sketch, then select the two curves you want to intersect. I hope that gets you started.

Thanks Kevin, but I'm not getting the results like on inventor, here is a screencast.

Well screencast still won't embed

so here is the link

Ok, I worked it out, I'll post up a screencast of how I did it. I don't know if it's the most efficient way and it certainly isn't as straight forward as inventor.

Here is my screencast of how I did the intersection curve, it seems like a more complex process when compared with inventor and it doesn't include all the features. Please let me know if I'm going about it the wrong way.

we will look at streamlining this. Glad you got a result that work.

Hello Grant,

Probably already solved by now, but doing this manually (Patch-Extrude the "to project to" lines then Sketch-Project to surface, the "to project" lines to that surface), did it very nice, including the 5 mm line.

Intersecting curve should do something similar internally, but apparently it does not.

Hope this makes sense and is of any help to you.

Kindest regards,

Ludo

You're a legend Ludo, worked just as you described. Thanks.

Hi Grant,

Well thank you and you're very wellcome.

For the Shell problem (selecting more then 1 face), on an other occasion Mr Jeff Strater from the Fusion Development Team wrote the following to me:

"When editing an Extrude feature (or other profile-based feature like Revolve or Sweep), the key is to hold down the CTRL key (Cmd key on Mac).  This will suppress the preview and allow you to select additional profile geometry by clicking on it.  All Fusion commands work this way.  If you have a Fillet feature and want to edit it to add more edges, you can do the same thing.  CTRL will always take you back to the state when the command started, to allow you to select geometry that may be obscured or consumed by the preview."

This is also true for the Shell command.

Again, hope this helps.

Best regards,

Ludo

Hi, I'm trying to project a curve to a revolved surface but it doesn't seem to work. Usually in inventor I'd create two planes a the use the 3D intersection curve to create my guide line for lofting. Can you help?
