How do I make a camber in an object? I googled 'how to make a camber in fusion 360' and I searched this site for 'camber' and nothing comes up.

Do you mean camber as in the slight curvature of a surface? Like the bed of semi-trailer?

Yes, a slight inward curvature to the blue surface in the picture above

I see.

There isn't a single function for it.

What you can do is create a new sketch in a side plane through the axis of the knob, and draw an arc that starts perpendicular to the axis and reaches out to the end of the ridges. Then do a revolve cut to subtract it from the main body.

Hope that helps.

I was afraid you'll say something like this. 🙂

Thanks for the help!
