moving a sketch offset to a different offset plane

Hello 

 

In the attached drawing I have a drawing of a locomotive wheel.  I am trying to create spokes that have the same geometry around the hub.  The spokes will have a gentle curve from the rim to the hub.  I did try drawing the spokes on the vertical sketch plane but that meant different length spokes with different geometry depending on what part of the hub they connect to.

 

So I decided to try with a loft command.  Drawing the spoke and then using the loft command to contour each spoke around the hub.

 

To create the contours I have drawn an offset sketch of the hub.  This can be seen in the sketch.

 

What I now want to do is to try and move the offset sketch to a new offset plane closer to the top of the hub.  this will form a guide for the spoke shape to follow.

 

Is it possible to select the offset sketch and move it to a new offset plane?

 

Many thanks in advance.

First thing, this is not a drawing, this is a model.  A drawing in Fusion 360 is the 2D representation of your model.  If the offset plane is the one you want to use to move your sketch or sketches, drag it in the timeline ahead of the sketch you want to move.  Then right click on the desired sketch in the timeline and choose Redefine Sketch Plane.  Then select the offset workplane.  Take a look at the Screencast.

In the file I sent back, 

you just change this plane, to 6" high, and the model updates, 

I don't know the outer spoke height. so that has not changed.
