Dadgad Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Well, you see, problem is, I don't know the exact shape of cross sections yet. I started with a extruded triangle, and here's where I got after adding more vertexes, lines and faces. I don't know how the final shape will look like, I need to experiment, add, remove, join, divide these vertexes, lines and faces to see what will finally work. I understand that you are trying to work it all out. It is important to maintain symmetry though as you move along. I would keep copies of your sections available, and turn on your solid history, so that if you get lead astray during the design process, you can get back to an earlier configuration.

laukejas Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Well... That's not easy. What about Inventor Fusion? Would it allow to edit solids in the way I want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Well... That's not easy.A few of us have already told you this earlier in this thread. What about Inventor Fusion? Would it allow to edit solids in the way I want?Yeah, you could give that a shot. Whole new ballgame though. You work with reference planes and profiles, so much different than AutoCAD.

laukejas Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Sorry, but I still don't get how exactly to do that. I mean not editing cross-sections and then lofting everything (I tried that, but it's guessing game), but make a solid, and then gradually add complexity. Like you would draw some 3d shape from background blueprint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 What about Inventor Fusion? I would use Autodesk Inventor for this design (not free). Inventor Fusion is free (you know what they say about free stuff - you get what you paid for..............) and add on an equal cost for training and add on about 3 years of experience - including at least 6 months in surface modeling.
