I haven't understand how construct works in sketch design...

Anonymous — Wed, 13 May 2020 18:56:15 GMT

I'm trying to find the intersection point between a construction line (the green one) and a construction plane (the yellow one), but they seems not to create any "interesting point" for F360. How can I do?

Isn't that the Origin?

Yes, i's the origin. But also more in general: construction planes and axis doesn't generate useful points for building? For me, it's seems a very strange thing.

What about P for Projection of the Origin or other points?

Well, I just took a look at your design - it might be easiest if you attempt to finish the design as best you can with whatever techniques you know and then Attach the attempt here and someone will demonstrate "best practice" technique.

Ah, ok. I need to re-enter in the sketch... thank you in the meantime.

Hi Franco1964,

there's a couple way to achieve this depending on your needs. As TheCADWhisperer said, if you're in the context of a sketch using the project (P) feature will allow you to project geometry normal to your sketch plane and in most cases this will get you the geometry/reference you need.

If you're looking to use the Construction tools (e.g. Planes, Points and Axes) There's a number of methods to get the geometry you need. For your particular question I used a Point at Edge and Plane to get the intersection of the axes and the plane (see below, I intentionally did not use the origins here). In Fusion 360, as in all CAD systems these axes and planes are infinite so a solution will be presented as long as there is a valid one.
