Modeling mathematical shapes

[Anonymous]

Does the 3d Plot add in work in Fusion 360 ?

Is there any way of modelling by using a mathematical function ?

Thank you.

Obviously a disgraceful Kluge.. I would graph the function in Excel, Draw the graph, put the picture in the background in fusion, and run a spline along the curve. I did it for a cycloid for a horological project. If you work at a big size it can be accurate enough.

Hi Henry,

Thanks ! , Thats a pretty good idea !. Had not though of that before !.

Any idea about 3d mathematical models as well ?

If you can describe points of the shape mathematically- say, for faceted shapes like Platonic Solids -points can be moved into position with precision, connected by sketch lines, Patched, etc.
