Matching Curves

[slarsen1389]

Hello.

I am attempting to match a curve on a project that I am working on.  I would like the curve of the angled tab end to match the radius of the main body (please see top down view).  I created the angled locking tab by sketching a profile from the side.  

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Please attach your model.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

I added the file.  Thanks

I used your same profile but revolved the complete tab.  The timeline could be a lot cleaner if you did all this from scratch but I just edited yours.  Model is attached.  If you need further help, let me know.

Thanks for the help.  I did do this from scratch but to be honest, my previous background is in Revit and AutoCAD and I'm having a difficult time getting used to the nuances of Fusion, like timelines and order of design.  Also, I've been away from 3D modeling for a bit.  Guess it's time I go through the tutorial videos : )

Do you happen to know of a tutorial video that will show me, in more detail, how you fixed my problem?

Thanks

No, I do not know of a particular video that would cover your particular example.  I decided to clean up your model as well as show you how to achieve the curved tabs.  The video is longer, than it would be if I did it from scratch, since I had to edit your original.  One thing I forgot to do in the video, right at the last, was to right click on the timeline and delete everything after the Combine.  Model is attached.
