Pattern on a verticaly angled, oval solid.

[ArashiCZ]

Hello everyone.

I have an object that I'm trying to design in Fusion 360.
I got most of the work done, however, I ran into a problem regarding the outside features of the solid.

I tried to to design this shape externally and cut the main body with this shape, however, it has to be adjusted for basically each of the tools.

Could I get some hint, on how this can be done properly, or how should I approach this?

Thank you, very much.

Hi,

I am a little confused as to what you are describing. I can see a nice symetrical model but a deformed end result. I am

not sure exactly how that happened.

In terms of design it looks ok. I did not download the file to look at but I would have used a circular pattern to create

what you have. Just design one and pattern it around the circle.

Another way you can create this is design the solid shape and use it to make a combine cut in a block; create an offset

surface from the shape and use it to cut out of the final shape from the left over block.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

I take it that you are not happy with these resulting alignments.  Not badly done and I am not critical of your workflow.

Otherwise, you are working too hard, the top section consists of 12 segments that could be circular patterned to cut most of your work by 11/12.

Bottom section is symmetric across a mirror plane, so your work on that is twice as much as required.

I will call them flutes, the lower versions would be 6 individuals, (not the same one patterned) and it would take some thinking on how to streamline this part of your process.  I say this as it is the curved wall that will likely dictate conformity to it - if so desired.

Might help...

Thank you for your time.
I will try to redesign the part according to your suggestions.

Thanks again.
