Internal Supports

Anonymous — Sun, 06 Jan 2019 03:48:29 GMT

Hello, I am new with fusion 360 and I've been working on designing a forearm project and need to make some internal bracing/brackets/screw holes that can't be seen from outside. Here is my current base structure (attached as photo) I'm needing to add the supports inside, but am unsure of how due to the internal fluctuation in angles. I know how to design bolts, nuts, and general structures, but I am unsure of how to create the bracing that would be printed fixed to the structure I currently have.

While attempting to create ribs I can't quite figure out how to make them stick to original body. When I create one it does a complete extrude through it essentially. Any advise?

Hi Davis,

When using the rib tool, you need to understand it´s system.

The most important factor is, that both ends of the path have a target body.

Likewise, both sides of the rib must hit a body.

Awesome! I understand a bit more about it and believe you’re definitely right. I need to research a bit more and try to understand how it works more. You’ve definitely helped me and I greatly appreciate your time!

My apologies I just now seen these last few posts as I figured out what I was looking for. Would you still like me to share the file? I am attempting to create a firearm housing essentially.
