Need Help with loft?

Ingars.Kursitis — Fri, 20 Oct 2023 18:51:45 GMT

Hello,

I am fairly new in fusion 360 can anyone help or give me advice. I am trying to achieve a same effect on the Image 1 but in Image 2 I can't as the angle of the cut was too big and leaves a cut out surface behind is there anyway how to achieve a 1st image effect or to patch it up somehow? I tried using loft but it says invalid flow or so on. Thanks.

Maybe I am being very silly. As I am new but I am trying to achieve as per image one when I loft two surfaces together sometimes it gives me nice finish. Sometimes like in image 2. Is there a way how to achieve Picture one on all of them? Thanks you sir. Attached file. So for example I would try to loft it now. But it gives me an edge. Is there a way how to loft 3 surfaces?

Hi,

It is not clear to me from the pictures what is to be created in the end.
Can you show a picture of a real existing bottle of this type?

All I want to do is to use some sort of feature or so on. To make this Edge to blend it with the curve rather than to stand out.

Like I've done here.

I have cut out the triangle bits by using 3D sketch I know my design tree is disaster . Sorry about that just trying whatever I can.

Question is how to achieve results from 2nd picture into the first picture on the edges which dont blend in with the curve how can I make it smooth so it doesnt look like that edge is there.

@Ingars.Kursitis

I see multiple unresolved issues highlighted in your Timeline (what happens if you run Ctrl b (CMD b on Mac)?

Most of your sketches are not fully defined.

Are you willing to start over from scratch?

I found a better way how to explain what am trying to achieve. Found patch function.

So I am trying to achieve this sort of look.

At the moment I am getting this egde.

Obviously underneath the patch there is still hole. How can I make sure its solid underneath the patch? or is there other way how to go around this.

What about the unresolved issues highlighted in your Timeline?

You are building a house of cards on a foundation of quicksand.
