Use the Rectangular Pattern tool under the Create tab. With the Section Analysis tool we can see what we’ve done so far Step 6: Duplicate Holes and Pockets
In the subsequent window you’ll define the parameters you want to use. Under the Modify tab you’ll find a button that’s called Change Parameters. Let’s jump right into it! Step 1: Setting the Parameters If you’ve turned it off in the past you need to turn it on again (right click on the root component and select Capture Design History). The timeline at the bottom of the Fusion 360 screen should be on by default. Holes will run through both parts with pockets in both ends for bolt head and nut so that they don’t exceed the outer dimensions of the box. It will have a bottom (box) part and a top (lid) part. We like examples, and this whole post will revolve around one single example where we’ll model a generic box using only parameters for all dimensions.
We’ll continue this discussion in the bottom chapter. But if your model is simple and/or geometric, parametric modelling might be the way to go. If the model becomes too artsy or too comlex you might quickly run into troubles. This method is however not suited for every project. The model will then change accordingly while still keeping its integrity intact. The cool part is that after your model is complete, and given that everything is in order, you can go back and change the parameters. Parametric modelling is a method where you use parameters to set the dimensions of part or all of your model. We’ll explain very briefly what parametric modelling is as well as go through an example where we use this method to create a generic 3D printer-friendly box.Įven if you’re not that interested in parametric modelling, but want to know more about working in Fusion 360, you might find this post interesting since we use many different tools in the example below. Fusion 360 fully supports parametric modelling, which is the topic of this post. As you might be aware of, we in NC use Autodesk Fusion 360 daily.
