Hi everyone,
I am a beginner to Fusion and I’m trying to model a heart shape with a central droop (concave dip in the middle) similar to the attached reference. I’ve tried different approaches in both Fusion 360 and Revit, but I’m struggling to get the shape exactly right.
What I’ve Tried:
Sweep in Revit – Works well for the overall shape but is symmetrical, so I can’t create the droop in the center.
Loft in Fusion 360 – I attempted to use multiple profiles with guide rails to introduce a dip, but I’m not getting the smooth curvature I need and keep getting error messages.
Sweep in Fusion 360 – Tried following a guide curve to introduce variation, but the shape doesn't fully match what I need (as shown in the attached image with the DXF file as an underlay)
Blends in Revit – Tried stacking blends, but I’m unsure if this is the best way to achieve an organic form.
- Multiple extrusions - Tried multiple extrusions to create the shape rounded shape and camphored it but i kept getting error messages not allowing me to have a full rounded surface
What I Need Help With:
Is Loft with guide rails the correct approach, or is there a better way to introduce the dip?
How can I make sure the shape smoothly transitions rather than looking too rigid?
Would using T-Splines or Sculpt Mode in Fusion 360 be a better option for this?
Any workflow recommendations for getting more organic control over the shape?
Any advice or alternative methods would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
