Help with Project

[peteknauss]

I started work on a project that includes a skateboard, and it would be helpful to be able to model based on the skateboard's outline. Is there a way to import a type of sketch, other than the sketching already in F360 to make it easier to get the model of the board? I've seen people have pretty detailed models off some things like motors and servos and wondered if they modeled those themselves or if there is an easier way to do it.

Thank you for help.

You can import 2d files: dxf, dwg.  You can also import quite a few different 3d files with .step likely to be the best option.  Check out "Insert a manufacturer part" on the Insert menu.

I suspect you'll also find a few skateboard models in the Gallery and there have been quite a few threads in the forum on modeling them.
