Moving sketch in z plane

[Anonymous]

I am trying to move a sketch up 15mm. After that I would like to loft it with another sketch. I have been trying for a couple days now to get this to work. This is my 4th motor mount I am 3d modeling for 3d printing and all the previous times I do what you see here, than I make those reference points or something like that, then redraw the whole sketch following those points.

There HAS to be a quicker more simple way to do this.

This has been insanely frusterating 😞 

10 years of maya, and sculpting experience seem to have ZERO translation over to fusion 360. I keep thinking, if only I could do this is maya, it would take 5 minutes vs 5 hours.

Hi @Anonymous,

Could you share the screencast of your workflow?  Seems like there are several warnings on your timeline.

Move command should work well. And projection the sketch to a new plane may also work for your request.

Thanks,

You don't usually move a sketch away from the plane it was sketched on.

To create your loft you might create a sketch for the first loft profile on one of the origin planes.

Then you create an offset construction plane from that first origin plane (for example) and sketch your second loft profile on that plane.

If you want to modify the loft length, you edit the construction plane feature in the timeline en the bottom of the screen to adjust the offset distance from the first plane.
