Help needed with three hinged components

kinho032001 — Sun, 17 Mar 2024 19:28:40 GMT

Hi,

I'm completely new to Fusion. I'm trying to model this box with flaps and animate it. I have so far managed to get the lid and flap to rotate. However, these flaps are supposed to have another flap hinged onto it. How do i get it to rotate and animate it? I've drawn an arrow showing how it needs to rotate.

I started this in Revit before I switched over to Fusion so you can kind of see what i mean in the screenshot below from Revit.

Please attach your model.

If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

Just to clarify, what I'm trying to do is get three components to all be connected but rotate independently.

You had one body that had to be converted to a component because components can only be animated. You can change to speed and duration as needed. Model is attached.
