Workpanes

[charlescooke58]

Hi everybody, can you pleeeease tell me how to put a cont. pane through the centre of this airfoil so i can work on the tip. I select the upper and lower edges of the airfoil and I get a point but when I select a line  the point does not select, the line will give a plane at angle, problem solved, but no for every action I come up with f360 has a equal and opposite reaction?????

Plane on 3 points.

TE and LE and one other, TE at the other end?

Works for Washed out wings.

Might help...

You mean for a 3 point C.Pane, but thats the problem I can only select a point at the TE no other points and when I create line I cant select that point either.

Why?  The wing tip is already drawn in the top view sketch.  (Went looking for the source of the purple points.)

Your Horizontal Stab 1st sketch is on the Origin Plane,

and the tip sketch can be added to it, 

created on the same plane or a new 3 point plane by selecting any 3 of these 8 points.

Plane on 2 lines, select any 2 of the stab centre / outlines.

Might help......

Thanks for that I got it, one more ? the fixed and control point spline I cant get rid of the goodies that shape them I know I am meant to click outside but one remains and wont go away as for the control point spline cant get rid of them at all??

I don't use or understand Control Point Splines.  (I know they have construction lines for a path frame.  You need them.)

Fit point Splines - "Goodies" I presume are the tangent handles. 

Select some other article or click in white space.  Sometimes it takes awhile for Fusion to drop them from the display.
