re-submit: more freeform modeling tools

re-submit: more freeform modeling tools

I'm trying to re-submit an idea that needs to be implemented.  Please vote on the link below.

Since writing the original post, I have discovered some great tools within Autodesk Speedform which would also be useful in Inventor.  The basic idea here is to not have to switch between different software packages just to make a single product.  Let us Inventor users stay in Inventor!

 

Speedform tools:

  • better triad orientation
  • lattice command
  • edit by curve

More Fusion tools:

  • Circular symmetry

Currently, freeform modeling/tsplines is implemented pretty well within Fusion 360.

 

As a designer/engineer, I use Inventor for my 3D needs - it is more powerful in many ways and has a much better sketching interface.  When trying to do freeform modeling in Inventor, though, I find it lacking many of the tools available in both Rhino Tsplines and in Fusion 360.  These include, but are not limited to:

  1. Slide Edge
  2. Bevel Edge
  3. Pull
  4. Interpolate
  5. Fill Hole
  6. Freeze/Unfreeze
  7. Repair Body
  8. Pipe
  9. Loft
  10. Revolve
  11. Sweep

 

I don't understand why your flagship 3D package for Engineers and designers would be lacking functionality that cheaper software already offers.
