Matching curve from another component

taylor.rothgeb — Fri, 03 Dec 2021 17:57:43 GMT

Hi, Im looking to match the curvature of one part to another but I dont want any of the the other details(holes/cutout). Below is a screen shot of the part I want to match the cuve of.

This is curved on the x and z axis. I want to match the curve on to a larger plate. Thanks.

Hi,

1. Create a plane > e.g offset to existing profile
2. Project the desired profile onto this sketch

Use the original sketches or new sketches to create a surface, then thicken. Or offset a surface from the existing and patch the holes and cutouts.

if all you want to do is get rid of the holes and cutouts, you might be able to get all or most of the way there with Delete Faces. The holes should work fine - just select the holes and delete (while in Solid tab), and the body should heal itself. The cutout may or may not work, but is worth a try. There are probably other repair techniques that could work even there. If you share the model, we can take a look.

The original part is pretty screwed up, it is from a part that I imported and removed a bunch of things and added a few things to. Im still learning fusion so im sure there are a ton of mistakes in the part that is making it hard to work with. I was hoping there is an easy way to copy the curves from the x and z axis' and start fresh. For what its worth the plan is to have this as a bottom plate which is inlaid into another component.

If you need a larger surface with the same curvature, then change into the surface tab and create an offset surface by 0 mm, so in essence a copy of the surface.
Then in the modify menu, select Untrim. That should give the original surface without any cutouts, holes etc.
