In this tutorial,
00:05
we're going to refine copy and complete the freeform saw handle casing.
00:11
And after completing this tutorial,
00:13
you'll be able to flatten and mirror,
00:14
duplicate the free form saw casing using a defined plane.
00:18
You'll also be able to make additional copies of sculpted bodies.
00:22
And finally, you'll be able to bevel crease and thicken sculpted bodies.
00:27
To begin, we need to rotate around to the rear of the saw casing.
00:31
The first thing we'll do is flatten the edges of the casing.
00:34
So let's double click to select the outside edges
00:37
and then hold shift on the keyboard and
00:39
double click again to select the inside edges.
00:43
Now in the toolbar, select modify flatten
00:46
in the dialogue window for direction, choose select plane,
00:51
click the inside origin plane
00:53
and then click. OK. To confirm
00:55
this tells fusion to either add or remove material in
00:59
order to flatten the selected edges flushed to the specified plane
01:03
in the browser,
01:04
use the light bulb to toggle off the visibility of the attached canvas image.
01:09
And if we orbit about the model,
01:10
we can see that fusion has successfully flattened those edges
01:14
and we're now ready to duplicate a mirror version of our part
01:17
in the toolbar, click symmetry, mirror duplicate, then select the saw casing.
01:23
We need to select a mirror plane
01:25
and we'll use the same plane that we use to flatten the part in the dialogue.
01:29
We can choose to weld the two casings together.
01:32
And we can also set a tolerance for our weld. If we choose to
01:35
ensure that you select to weld the parts
01:38
and then click, OK.
01:39
If we click home in the view cube, we can see our completed handle casing.
01:44
The green line is our mirrored line.
01:45
And whatever we do on one side of the line will be mirrored on the other side.
01:50
If we toggle on the visibility of our attached canvas
01:53
and our internal mechanics using the browser,
01:56
we can get a much better idea of how the design for our handle casing is developing.
02:01
We can use the browser to toggle on and off these elements
02:05
in order to help us with our 3D modeling.
02:08
And if we like, we can make copies of our new sculpted body using the browser,
02:13
we can right click on our handle casing and select copy.
02:17
And if we right click on the canvas and select paste,
02:20
we can paste multiple copies on the canvas.
02:23
We can use the manipulators to move our copies about the canvas,
02:26
placing them anywhere we like.
02:29
And when we're happy with their position,
02:31
we can click OK to confirm the move,
02:33
we can also still make edits to our sculpted handle.
02:36
If we click, modify, edit in the toolbar, we can make changes.
02:40
And because of our green line of symmetry,
02:43
the changes will be mirrored on both sides.
02:45
If we double click to select an edge and from the toolbar, choose modify crease,
02:51
we can create sharp edges between faces.
02:54
We can also create bevels.
02:56
If we select an edge, click, modify bevel edge,
02:59
we can replace a single edge with a specified number of adjacent edges,
03:03
we can select the edges then specify the position of the bevel.
03:07
And we can also thicken the material.
03:10
Turn off the visibility for the copy of our handle casing using the browser
03:15
click fit.
03:16
And then in the toolbar click modify thicken, select the handle casing.
03:21
And in the dialogue window,
03:23
we can enter a thickness in millimeters. We can also enter a thickness type.
03:27
The direction can either be normal or along the axis.
03:31
And when we've made our selection,
03:33
we can just click OK to confirm it.
03:36
And if we orbit about our model, we can see the new thickness of the material.
03:40
We can also toggle on the visibility of the internal mechanics,
03:43
which will give us a very good idea of how our new sculpted handle casing
03:47
fits with the rest of the internal mechanics.
03:52
And now if we click finish form,
03:54
this will return us into the model workspace
03:57
here,
03:57
we can turn off the visibility of our duplicate handle casing
04:01
and we can also turn on the visibility of our trigger.
04:04
And this completes the lessons on freeform modeling and sculpting.
04:08
So let's turn off the visibility for the internal mechanics in the browser
04:12
and save our model.

If we select an edge, click, modify bevel edge,
02:59
we can replace a single edge with a specified number of adjacent edges,
03:03
we can select the edges then specify the position of the bevel.
03:07
And we can also thicken the material.
03:10
Turn off the visibility for the copy of our handle casing using the browser
03:15
click fit.
03:16
And then in the toolbar click modify thicken, select the handle casing.
