Bridge from square to circle

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I am quite the beginner at Fusion 360 and I am looking to bridge a gap between a cilinder (so a circle edge) and a square. Attached two screenshots to indicate the problem. My steps in sculpt mode:

- Convert the side edge of the cilinder. This results in a square around the edge. See the first screenshot.

- Convert the edge of the square (not shown)

- Bridge the cilinder edge (which is now a square) and the originally already square edge to form a cilinder/cone shaped bridge. Result shown in second screenshot

My questions:

- Why does F360 form a square around the circle when converting and is there a way to avoid this? 

- The bridge is per definition a cilinder shape, but I (originally) have a square as one edge. Is there a way I can go from a cilinder to a square using the whole edges of both side? It may look a bit awkward but I don't see why this cannot work.

- The bridge never fully aligns with the edge of the cilinder (see second screenshot). I have used the match function on a different occasion to resolve this, but this does not lead to a smooth result. Is there another way to avoid this. 

Would really appreciate your help. I am probably going to regret saying this, but please do not hesitate to give me direct feedback if you think it may help.

Thanks!

Richard

Hi @Anonymous,

This looks like a duplicate of this other post:  bridge-from-square-to-circle.  I'll answer on that thread.
