Push Pull Localised Area of Curved Surface

formsR28H6 — Tue, 21 Sep 2021 08:07:59 GMT

I'm quite new to F360 and wondered if it is possible to push - pull a localised part of a curved surface ?

A bit difficult to explain what I mean, but let's say I have an egg shell, and I want to define a round profile area around the top 5mm of the egg, and then pull the center of that profile it to make it sharper, or push it to make the inner / outer curvatures flatter.

Is that type of feature supported in Fusion 360 ??

I have read & adjusted my description a few times, it does not seem very well described, I hope that it's understandable ?

Thanks

If the egg is a T-Spline, then that is so easy to do with Edit form.

Might help....

@davebYYPCU - thanks so much, but unfortunately it was imported from a .step file as a single body.

the answer (though hard to tell without the model and a better idea of what you want to achieve) is really "no". You cannot make localized changes to one area of a BRep face (solid body). You may be able to get part of the way there in a Direct Model using "edit face".
