Exercise 78

In this CAD tutorial we'll use the features: 


1. Extrude

Definition: The standard tool for creating solid geometry from a sketch. How it works: You select a profile and pull it to create a solid block or cylinder. Best for: Creating the mounting base, clamp, or connection point that your pipe structure will attach to.


2. Offset Plane (Construction)

Definition: Creates a new sketching canvas parallel to an existing face but at a specific distance away. How it works:

  • The Problem: You want to draw a handlebar or a tube that sits in front of your mounting bracket, but there is no surface there to sketch on.

  • The Solution: You select the front face of the bracket and drag an Offset Plane 50mm forward. Now you can sketch the path for your pipe floating in space. Best for: Setting up the sketch path for sweeps, lofts, and pipes.


3. Pipe

Definition: Instantly creates a tube or rod along a sketch path. How it works: You sketch a line (path) on your new Offset Plane. Then, you select the Pipe tool and click the line. Fusion 360 builds the tube geometry automatically. Best for: Handlebars, roll cages, fluid lines, or furniture frames.


4. Mirror

Definition: Creates a symmetrical copy of your body or features. How it works: You model only the left side of the handlebar (Pipe). Then, you use Mirror to copy it to the right side using the center plane. Best for: Ensuring perfect symmetry without doing the work twice.


5. Fillet

Definition: Rounds off sharp edges. How it works: Applies a radius to smooth transitions. Best for: Rounding the edges of the Extruded base or adding a weld-bead look where the Pipe meets the Base.


All dimensions are in mm/g/s/ISO
