How to duplicate a sketchup rendering?

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello folks, I drew this table in sketchup and now I want to recreate it in fusion. I can figure out how to do the majority of the base but not sure how to do the top portion of the trestle?

 

Can a person use the revolve tool on a square so I can recreate the top portion of this trestle base? 

 

I am attaching a picture of the sketchup rendering.

 

Thank you

Easier to use the Loft Tool, 

adjust the curve result with the Direction arrows.

 

Might help....

All you need to do is create a sketch with the square shape the size you need, then create a profile sketch and sweep it around the square. If you can not figure it out with my file let me know and I will add a screencast.

WOW!! thats what I need!!! Thank you! Will it be possible to send me a screen cast? I am sorry to bother you, I seem to learn much better from watching something being done as I am so new to fusion, but I really like it so far!!

 

Thank again!

One thing I might add is make sure you constrain and dimension your sketch....I didn't have time to do that here.

There are many ways to skin a cat..

 

1. Lofting between horizontal profiles...

 

2. Extruding/intersecting two vertical profiles...

 

3. Sweeping a perimeter around a square path then deleting the hole...
