How to angle round surfaces?

[Anonymous]

Hoi All,

I'm quite new to Fusion 360 and did some personal designs, a shaft with thread and so on.

Now i'm making something to extend a button of my motorcycle.

However in the holder there is a small angle what makes the buttons sit on small angle for easy use.

I have drawn the pattern and extrude it, however how do I make this in a angle from the middle.

Tried to look online, added also a new surface to a angled side and drawn on that without the result I needed.

See my screenshot drawings

Thanks!

Hi,

Please share the file and show pictures (sketches) of a real existing object.

File > export > save as f3d on local device  > attach it to the next post.

There are at least 2 ways of the bat that I can imagine.

1. Create a plane-at-angle on the line that would be the new edge and then use the split-body function to split off the unneeded geometry
2. Create a triangle in the side view and extrude-cut.

You provide a model in .f3d format, we can demonstrate.

Hi @Anonymous ,

I have tried to cut the edge by assuming your sketches.

This is only a possible solution, We can't help until we see the design.

Let me know when you have enough examples....

Wow amazing guys!

What a support so fast already, ill download the files and see how you did this.

Please find attached my file with the actual sizes.

Kind regards,

Nick

Ah I see, well then I was well underway with making a offset pane and draw on there with a new sketch. Never knew that you can cut away material.

[TheCADWhisperer]

Your Sketch1 is not fully defined.

Blue geometry and white dots.

Missing dimensions?

Missing geometry constraints?

See my examples posted earlier.

Work with symmetry about the Origin when possible and practical.

[TheCADWhisperer]

As I start to add the missing dimensions - notice this arc radius???

[TheCADWhisperer]

Notice white dot connections not made...

If you open the Draft Face file that I attached earlier and make Sketch1 visible and then right click - Show Dimensions, you can then double click on my dimensions and change to your dimensions (start with the holes first since going smaller and then work in a logical order for the rest).

Edited my file to your dimensions without redrawing anything.

This is the power of parametric modeling.

I made thew radius manually as I found it hard to work with the ARC tool for the first time.

I did it wrong I guess.

Thanks for helping.

Hi Whisperer,

I looked you updated file however this one is still with the old sizes.

I managed to make it to my own design however you said that the ARC's are not good?

I'm trying to learn how to make such arcs, is there are standard button for it? let's say to arc between two points and give it a radius of choice.

Thanks

Nick

I never Attached the updated file - I only provided instructions for you on how to edit the file to your dimensions.

Editing files is all part of learning Fusion 360.

I like to learn it. Thank you for your support.
