Creating a 3D arc

AerobaticDemon — Sat, 15 Apr 2017 21:54:04 GMT

Hi, I am currently making a microquad frame as part of a school project and am trying to join the propeller guards/ducts to the frame like in the photo below. Can someone please help me on how I would achieve this in fusion 360?

Notice how in the picture of what I would like to achieve the supports go outwards and up.

Thanks

Model the profile for one support on a sketch with a plane 90 degrees to the base plane. You can create a plane at angle located at the midline of the support, or if you use one of the Origin planes,you can Move|Rotate the support after it has been created. Use Rotate command to create the 3d model of the support. Use the Mirror command to create the second support for the first quadrant, then use circular pattern to create the others.

On second thought, a loft would work better:

Thank you very much! With a few changes using your video as a guide I achieved what I wanted 🙂 . I am very surprised how helpful people are on these forums and the amount of time and effort people put into creating an answer, it definitely helps out.
