3 Tangent Circle and Projected Geometry

Anonymous — Mon, 09 Nov 2020 19:27:47 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to create a 3 Tangent Circle, I have one sketched reference line and 2 Projected Splines but I cannot select the Projected lines to use as the 3 points for the 3 Tangent Circle. Does anyone have any tips or advice?

Thanks for looking!

Tangent to spline, unless at their end points is not an available procedure, without creating work around simulating structures. Tangent to line and arc does work.

Will wait for Screencast.

Might help....

Yeah, not possible in today’s Fusion.

What is possible is to create the Leading Edge material, joined to the loft and fillet top and bottom edges, with variable fillet.

Might help....

That's a great idea thanks Dave, that should do the trick.
