Bending/Twisting an Object

cornelius-franz

Hi,

is there a clever way to bend/twist an object on one side? I would like to take this model of a toy monorail and bend it on one side to around 20° to make a banked curve as next track element.

The banked curve would be my next question. How to twist the curved track while the rack stays in it's geometry so the gear teeth distance stays the same?

Best regards

Cornelius

It really depends on what side you want to bend. Please indicate in a graphic. Also one defined, you will need to attach your model.

If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

Thank you for your reply. I attached the model. The base of the track is twisted around 20°. The rack should do the same.

Best regards

For this to work so to speak something is "going to have to give". Can you explain the drive?
