Hi everyone,
I'm trying to draw up quite an organic shape on Fusion 360 (as seen above).
I'm struggling with how to make it.Right now I've drawn two splines on a lofted cylinder which form the 'outline' of the shape. But now I'm not sure how to delete the parts of the lofted form that fall out of the sketchs' outline.
Any suggestions on how to move forward? Or any other approaches?
Thanks.
Hi,
This can differ from one design to another, according to the shape you want to split
Please share the file with the cutting sketch to show you how
Regards
Don't mean to butt in here, but looking at that original picture of the object, I would not try to model this in a BRep environment (solid or surface). Have you considered using TSplines (Sculpt workspace)? Since this shape is so "organic", it seems like it might be a better toolset to use.
Do others agree or disagree?
You're right. Creating this using Patch or Model environments is not an option, This is clearly a job for the sculpt environment!
Now creating it in the sculpt workspace can be done in many different ways, but it will require some analyzing before that to decide the best approach possible, so look at your body carefully from different angles and decide how to get the closest shape to it, and maybe apply some editing for it later on to get even closer until you achieve it
My guess is that you can start with a sweep and then edit it according to an attached canvas, or you can use a loft by creating an over all path and use a plane along path to create the profiles of the loft along it. This might get you closer than the sweep, but be careful not to get the self intersection warnings
So feel free to ask questions along the way whenever you feel you're stuck at a certain point
Best of luck
Fusion
