Hello: I am new to the group, and am just starting to learn some of the basics of Fusion 360. I am trying to do something and have spent the last 2 days without success. Basically, I downloaded an STL of a figurine that I want to light internally with an LED. I successfully converted the STL into a body that I can work with. I need to make a hollow tube from the bottom to not quite the top. A straight hole would be a no-brainer, but because of irregularities in shape, the hole has to be curved along 3 dimensions. I tried sweeping out a tube and then moving it into the main body, but can only make it on one plane. Is there a way to set up a multi-dimensional path (no more than three dimensions!!)? Thanks.

Hi,

The best way is to ask questions about concrete problems in this forum.
To do this, pictures should be included in the post and, if available, an f3d file should be attached.
With all contributions, however, one should bear in mind that they may have been created with older versions.
