As a newcomer to Fusion 360 I am having problems with things that are probably easy once you know how!
I am trying to draw some boiler fittings for a steam locomotive with a view to getting them 3D printed for making a small scale model. One item is essentially a part cone with the hollow flared top. I managed to draw the conical bit and then I used the sketch tool to draw the cross-section of the flare with the intention of revolving this round the axis of the cone to form the finished shape. My problems are as follows.
1. The plane of the sketch did not correspond to an obvious position on the cone. How should I have specified a plane on which to draw - for simplicity it should have been on the cone axis?
2. I assumed that it would be easy to move the sketch into the correct position using the sort of techniques common in 2d CAD programs,but I failed. I need to move the bottom outside edge point of the sketch onto a quadrant point of the upper surface of the conical part.
