Well, it's very complicated, I'm trying to convert my sketches to a 3D model, so I need like somebody who has the time to hold a video call or something where I can show them what I want and need.

Well, I appreciate your concern but I want somebody to be there and guide me as I model. I have some problems that occur every now and then on F360,

If you are not willing to share what you have and have a paying subscription, then contact Autodesk Support directly.

I am sure @innovatenate or others will be able to help you out.

If you don't have a paying subscription and are interested our help then perhaps share your model. The users that help here on the forum including the Autodesk Expert Elites are doing so on a voluntary basis.

Politely asking for one-on-one personal help is ok, demanding it is rude!

Also, some of us have done CAD for 25+ years. We know what complicated means!

@TrippyLighting I think @Anonymous is just politely asking.

@Anonymous reason why we're asking you to present your project (sketches, images, descriptions) is that we doing that so everyone can benefit. If your project is truly complex we also need time to find the right approach, sitting on a phone would be a waste of time. Please consider sharing your idea on a forum.

Deep breath guys

I also work with a different person and we communicate via Skype which is actually faster for me.

Sometimes in 15 20 minutes of screen sharing more can be taught and explained then long emails.

Thats why I suggested to Skype.

Best,

Claas

@Anonymous question was polite and no one should feel offended, same our hesitation doesn't mean, we don't like to help, we just have different habits.

@cekuhnen I use Skype rather frequently to help other people. That incliudes people her on the forum, as well as recently through a commercial opportunity.

However, it is generall a much better use of time ot go into any meting with some preparation.

As such, I'd like to have a chance to look at a model associated with a brief descripton of what needs to be accomplished before I met someone online. It is simply a better use of MY time.

@Anonymous If you haven't seen this yet, you may want to check out Autodesk Screencast. It is a free screen/audio/command recording utility that can help communicate what you are struggling with. If you post a video here and describe where you're having some trouble, there are a lot of experts around that can offer advice. You may want to start with a screencast recording of the issue and post it here.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Thank you all for your quick replies and concern. I've been working my head off on F360 to understand and I'm starting to make my way through it since I got my first form out of it. And I have more three to go. Here's sketches of my layout & elevation.

Reason I don't want to attach my file is that I want to learn. I don't want to ask everytime I get stuck into something.
I'll be contacting cekuhnen once he's available just to ask him about a few stuff in F360.

You should not at all be afraid to ask if you get stuck!
Many users ask too late in a project and that often leads to having to re-do a lot of work.

Getting your questions answered is the whole purpose of this Forum so use it.

For that sort of curvy loft stuff you are in excellent hands with @cekuhnen and @michallach81

Awesome design! Quite ambitious.
