How To Design A Canard with Fusion 360 | Surface Modeling | Freeform Modeling | Tutorial 

Wow, thank you!

Glad you liked it!

Thank you! I cover a lot of freeform modeling on this channel, but do have a surface only series with i think 16 or so parts in it. be sure to ask questions along the way! Thanks for the sub!

Thank You!

Glad you enjoyed it! Freeform can be great but can get out of hand very quickly. Certainly worth the effort at a basic level for concepts.

You are welcome! And yeah at the end of doing it with sufaces and making the edit to the size/shape I figured doing it with forms would be quick :) If you haven't seen it I would suggest checking out ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-25PmqM24HEk.html You might consider making a compression mold for CF and that would be a pretty strong part.

Morning! How to make those molding details really depends on what geometry you are working with. The first two ways that come to mind are: 1. Sweep solid/surface. Create the profile you want and then sweep it along a path. 2. Ruled surface. This lets you create a surface at an angle to your shape or toward a plane. I probably wouldn't suggest doing small detail like that on a form model and would push it to surface tools for sure.

Thank you very much for the advice, you are worth GOLD!@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign

You're welcome 😊and yeah the 2nd one is a bit quicker right :)

Absolutely 😊

Does it give you an error? If there are overlapping edges/faces that will prevent it from converting to a surface. Box display usually helps find this stuff.

Sounds like a great project! I don't know when i can get to it but feel free to email me. support@caducator.com and ill take a look.

Im sorry I don't follow. Sub what?

in general of on making a Canard? Plasticity doesn't really work with mesh imports yet to the point where we can snap to them, so it would be hard to make something match a car unless you bring a surface in, which kinda defeats the point if you have to model the car in another program first. I certainly could but its not on my radar. I have been working on a new video with 1.2 on modeling a car since some of the workflow changed. when i finish that video i can add some canards at the end.

@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign Legend, thank you! I just enjoy your plasticity tutorials as that's what I'm currently focused on - every video you release I learn a new aspect so have really been keeping an eye out for them 🙂 Looking forward to future uploads.
