Hi,
You have made a good start but I think you are going about it the wrong way with complicated sketches. I think a much
better way to do it would be with a canvas of the real thing, simple sketches and then use the tools to model what you
want. This is how I did it.
Start with a canvas, scale it to the dimensions you want, in this case I used actual measurements from an aircraft.
Start a sketch and use the canvas as a guide. You know how wide it is and how tall it is. Use splines to get the curves
in the correct place. Use points to mark the centre of the round instruments and corners of the square instruments.
It does not have to be exact unless you have the exact measurements. All of those instruments fit into a standard
sized rack, this is just the cover. Use rectangular patterns where possible.
Once you have the basic information, extrude the outside of the panel and use those points to make a new sketch on
the surface of the panel and project the points you need. Then use the tools to create round or rectangular holes.
You will notice that because I used rectangular patterns to get my spacing the instruments from the canvas do not
quite line up. This is ok because the real panel WILL line up because the actual instruments are standard sizes and
fit into a standard rack. The canvas is a guide only.
You will find this method will be less labour intensive to do than the complex sketching you have done and a lot less
likely to break down the track.
Remember the key rule in fusion, keep sketches simple and use the tools to model. The end result is what you want, an
accurate model, not a bunch of accurate sketches. You create engineering drawings from the model, not the sketches.
You fabricate from the model. Everything comes from the model, the sketches are just there to get what you need to
model with.
Fillets and chamfers are much easier and much more accurate on a model than trying to draw a sketch in 3D and
trying to loft or sweep.
