I'm working on turning this image into a 3D model, I've sketched the outline, but there are areas that i'm not sure how to produce in Fusion, for example the four triangles at the top of the sketch, how to I reproduce those?
In fact the same technique would be used for all the polys framing the model.
See attached F3D showing how I would generate the triangular bevels using the Extrude command. (No ideas for sweep at the moment)
In your Sketch1 you have geometry that is at the base, along the side and at the top - all in the same plane.
This is not correct.
I would do this very differently.
I would have two sketches one for the base and a second sketch on an Offset Workplane for the top face.
Also, watch out for extra geometry.
Edit: After looking a bit more - I would probably create 3 Baseline sketches, I think 1 sketch for Toplines will do.
This one is a bit easier than the other one, but -
You should not have any Extrusions or any Chamfers or any Shells.
Any time you have a yellow (or red) highlight in the Timeline you should STOP, do not continue. Stop and ask questions.
But in any case that was too far along anyhow.
At this point only base and top sketches.
Note that some of the base boundaries are hidden - you will have to interpolate those.
The problem is visualizing this 2D image as a 3D object.
What is on the base plane and what is on the top plane.
Those are the boundaries that you need to sketch.
Note in this image that you have put side lines going from base to top in the top sketch.
Ignore ignore ignore any side lines for now.
Please open the attached file and take a look. This is with three Sketches, a Loft, a Mirror and a Combine.
Sketch 1 = half top face profile
Sketch 2 = half bottom face profile (some guesswork involved)
Sketch3 = point-to-point connecting lines in 3D (to use as Rails for the Loft)
Open it up, turn off the Body, turn on the Sketches and examine each Sketch in turn. Turn on the Construction Planes to see where I put them before I started the Sketches. Follow along the Time Line to see how I did things. Note that it was made in one Component...and understand that since there appear to be four distinct shapes in the image, and each one should be a separate Component, you will want to make addition Components and follow the same steps for each of the other three shapes. Well, actually, the small triangles don't need a Mirror or Combine, and to create the last triangle, you can just Mirror the first triangle in its entirety as a Component.
