Circles in Triangle

[lb214]

Hello, 

I am new to Fusion and currently having trouble to achieve this design.

Currently I made the triangle and then sketched a circle with distance to two of the edges of the triangle. I then wanted to use rectangle pattern to copy the circle in the triangle. However because my circles have to be 98mm apart from each other the distance for the last cup the right doesnt fit with the edges on the triangle.

How do I approach this. I want to keep it modular because I need to insert some holes in the circles because there should go some sensors.

Thanks for any help

Greetings Lucca

Hello and welcome!  Can you tell us what method you have tried, or share your file with what you have attempted so far?

It should work...Did you start with an equilateral?

Hi,

In this pattern, the triangle width/height is controlled via the holes and their spacing.
A reverse solution would also be possible.

The reference surface is used to limit the pattern to the triangular surface.

Thank you all, I really appreciate your help. Your Files helped me a lot to get a better understanding of fusion. As I come from polygon modeling it is quite hard to wrap my head around how cad modeling works.
