Dear Community
I have this Part here and on the drawing, I'd like to point out the mathematical Paramterization of the R5 G2 continuous Radius.
BackGround:
Profile Manufacturers sometimes "re-program" the 2D Section of a profile.
Is there Any Idea on how I could achieve this, or create a "call out" thereof in the drawing?
No, because it makes little sense. You also forgot to include the tangency weight, which I believe might be application specific. I'll have to ask someone from the Fusion 360 team if that is true, or verify with other applications.
The "curve" of that radius is based on a 5 -degree spline with 6 CVs. It has variable curvature.
Hi @busycleta
In terns of documenting it on the drawing, if you use the "note tool", you can add in a manual call out, as shown below.
I had to dig a little more to find a good example of how to properly dimension free form surfaces/curves.
I've seen many examples of this when working in the automotive industry, but usually, the information on those drawings is highly proprietary, so cannot be shared.
However, I did remember an excellent example from the Apple Accessory Design Guidelines, which are public domain. Here is a screenshot of the fillet dimensioning of an iPhone 12 Pro Max (Page 171):
Hey @TrippyLighting
Thanks for sharing, yes the reason they detail the G2 curves like that, is that they are tangent splines, not radii.
This is pretty easy to do in Fusion, I made a quick video to show the workflow.
@busycleta I hope this gets you a bit closer to what you need.
