FILLET OR SCULPT?

[Anonymous]

Hi guys, newbee here.

I'm not at all familiar with Fusion 360, but I think it rocks!

I need to make a scale steam locomotive wheel and for the most part it's pretty close, but I can't get the point where the spokes enter the rim and the hub look right. I hoped to get it right with "Fillet" but that doesn't work. "Sculpt" didn't work either...

Can anyone of yoy guys give me a hint on how to proceed?

@Anonymous,

Are you will to share the model?  I am happy to take a look and make a video of the workflow that I would take.

Cheers,

Hi Mike, yes of course, that would be great!

I send a the *.f3d file as attachment, I hope that will work out right.

Thank you for trying.

@Anonymous,

The workflow to get what you are looking for is fairly advanced.  I first combined both of the bodies so that I could put a fillet between the two.  The fillet causes the circular shape to loose form, so I created a sketch and cut away the fillet area.  Next I split the face of the inner circle for my loft profile and sketched a line for a rail to keep the loft straight.  Finally I created a loft using the two profiles, edges and sketch as a rail.  Here is a video of the workflow and attached is the file.  You can then pattern this and repeat for the outside.

Thank you so much for your effort Mike!

You made me understand Fusion 360 a little bit better.
