Fusion 360 Curved Shapes 

Thanks for taking the time to make the videos, I know a lot more time and effort goes into them than just the 5 or 6 minutes we get to see!

Excellent , exactly what I needed to learn and without long winded too much tech talk, thank you

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you ! Great vid, straight to point.

Whoa! There's certainly many, many ways and directions that can be taken with this cool 😎 method. Thanks!

Great tutorial and really helpful for what I'm trying to do. I have 2 questions, if that's ok. First, when I try to adjust the curve sketch after I've extruded, nothing happens; it won't move at all. Second, what would be the best way to join this to a an existing model, or can I attach a new model to this? Thanks.

Thanks a lot for this tutorial. Your instructions are easy to learn.

Thank you i was able to shape my 3d prints as i wanted in 10 minutes with this video

I've been looking for a tutorial on how to create curved items. I found a very detailed very advanced demonstration. But then I cam across this. It's so simple. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to fix my model with this. Thank you!

This was so so amazing! I am a new Fusion 360 user and wanted to learn curves quickly, thank you for taking the time to make this video. I will be watching all your videos now.

Super useful - thank you!

You are the Best!!!!!You cannot believe how videos and tutorials I went through to arrive here. Thanks so much!! You helped me tremendously!!! Nearly every other curved surface tutorial had be creating the curved surface first and not the object when I thought it should have been the other way around for what I needed to create (btw a curved front grille for a hot rod) and you confirmed what I suspected and taught me how to do it. Thanks again!!!!

Awesome technique!

Awesome instructions! Love that you're calling out the hotkeys! Thanks! : )

Fantastic help, thanks!

Thanks!! Helped me alot

Great video Vlad, all your videos are awesome.

Clear and perfect explained, thank's :)

Did mine by extruding the wavy body then drawing the heart and splitting the body. Wanted to go a bit further and compound the curves on the heart so I swept the wavy line (well wavy rectangle) along another wavy line (in the other axis) as the path, creating an object that had compound curves. I then repeated the draw heart->split bodies. I then wanted to write some text into the heart which caused some difficulties as you can't project text onto a surface and a basic extrude doesn't work because of the irregular surface. I used a combination of extrude to object to created new bodies and cut away bodies (has to be done in the right order or fusion bugs out), then a press/full to set the depth of my lettering on the compound surface. Then a combine to arrive at the final product. Thanks for the lesson!

thank you!

thank you, this was immensely helpful!

Great video!!

I agree with all the complements. Nicely done. Fantastic pace to your video. thank you.

Excellent!

Wow, thanks for the video, very helpful 👍🏼

Yep, gave it some thought. My idea was to create the wavy spline first, then offset it to create the thickness and extrude it up. then draw the heart vertically and extrude that through the vertical wave. Your way wins hands down .... again :-). These challenges are fantastic, they get me challenging my approaches to different design aspects.

Very educational, thank you for the video.

Nice, quick helpful video. Cheers!

I had thought about doing a spline body and a separate heart body and then do a combine intersect to make the curved heart but like you said your way works just as well.

Very good approach! Tks!

Nice one ... love your videos ! You make fusion so easy and accesible to people

thank you fo making this video i found it useful..keep making

That’s a really great technique. I’ll have to give that a try on a project.

You rock dude. Thx a lot ;)

Kept expecting you to start singing backstreet boys everytime you said shape of my heart :D

Thanks, maybe usefull for a non flat pickguard

Solved another one for me --thank you

Excellent

Great vid Vlad.

Great, great, great. Thank You!!!!

This was a lot deeper Than I expected. I didn't expect fusion to play around with this guy's heart souch

Thank you so much. This was exactly the tutorial I needed.

Been doing your Udemy course and now I'm trawling your RU-vid space. I did it by designing the heart in XY plane and extruding, then spline in XZ and extrude to slice away what I didn't want. Thanks for teaching me about the Surface functions. Now I'm off to see if I could add curved letters using that!

you are rock! Very thanks xd

really thanks, its just what i need to make the piece that i want, awesome ^_^!!

This is helpful. It would be more helpful [for me] if it addressed curvature on a second plane and also curvatures that differ along a plane/path. Like, imagine a structure with curvature on both sides, but one side is basically thicker and has a less apparent curve, but the other side is thinner and has a more apparent curve, and these need to meet up nicely in the middle. Also, a lot of people seem to be interested in twists, which I haven't search for nor need. I found a tutorial on making a wood boat design that should cover most of my needs...

Hi Vlad, awesome video again. I almost did it the same way, except when I extruded the heart profile up. Instead I did an intersect to create a new face. Then I thickened the face. The end result is a slightly different. The angle of the faces around the heart edge is different. These faces come out perpendicular to the heart face not straight up like in your technique.

How did You setup Your Fusion view? I don't have "DESIGN" mode, only "model", "path" etc. Can I switch my view same like You.

What if it's warped differently as you get lower, like a face shell where you have curves for the nose, mouth, eyes, but it's not all curved the same from top to bottom?

i used the edges of circles to make the curves

Is there a way to make an object, like the heart, extruded on a flat plane. After you have the flat heart, to then make it curve based on a specific radius. I'm trying to draw a Mercedes emblem to print, but the trunk has a slight concavity to it that I need to account for.

HI Vladimir, THis is very helpful and well presented. Thanks. Can you explain how to model a plane which is curved in x and y axes? I'm trying to model a panel from an old car which is curved differently in x and y axes. Thanks

Great lesson. What orientation do you recommend for printing this?

Hi , can you explain if i need to make 2 curves on my sketch like one curve on x axis and other on y axis

Nice video! Thanks! Question though, do you know how I can create 3D curves? The curve you are using here is curved only in 2D. I'm trying to create a 3D curve. Imagine your curve but curved from both the side and front.

Vlad, I love your videos. Very easy to follow and understand it. Not that it’s not worth it, but is your online course membership $10 a month or $20 a month? I might’ve been watching an older video, but I thought you said the membership was $10 per month.

you could use intersect and extrude and get the same thing. no garbage to delete

nice compact little lesson, but why does your fusion UI look so different from mine?

I tried doing this but my extruded shape isn't following the curve of the item I choose. What? Why? It just extrudes from the object itself, not the one I chose, even though it shows I have the other one chosen.

I keep getting an error when i want to extrude my shape

you have 420 likes. Sorry to spoil but i gotta like it and make it 421 8?)

tag and untag i couldnot get. i am just a begineer. help... please.

"fail to project profile to remote surface" this seems to be coming.

I guess there isn't a Design model in the student copy?

sorry thicken not extrude

This doesn’t seem to work for me

I tried with similar shape but cannot get it to use all of the surface. It needs to be one curve? See attached image please! i.imgur.com/buivXsv.png

i cant extrude the heart
