Every time I think I "have a handle" on fusion 360, my world gets rocked by something as brilliant as this!

Thank you for the support again!

WOW. That was a great video, thanks for that one

Wow that is a very clever way to wrap patterns around a cylinder. Never would have thought. Thanks a lot for this trick!

So I’ve been playing around with this and tried to come up with a decent workflow using the emboss feature. It’s doable but given your two rules, I think you are right in that using the sheet method works better. Emboss would be great if only it was possible to pattern in both rotational and linear way in the same operation. And that is precisely the problem that the sheet workflow solves; it converts the angular pattern into a linear pattern.

Good to know another user validating my train of thought! During the emboss attempt, I even tried to perform a rectangular pattern of a single hexagon. But emboss just does not play well with patterns.

@@Fusion360School Seems like the most straightforward way using the emboss command would be to make a sketch two hexagons side by side with the profile of their horizontal and vertical stripes inside them and then inside this sketch, diagonally pattern the profiles until it reaches the required height. You would then emboss the profiles on the cylinder and then circular pattern them around the cylinder. It makes for a pretty big sketch though, but it’s not that bad. Especially since I just learned that you can modify a rectangular pattern inside a sketch by double clicking on the rectangular pattern constrain icon..!

Clever use of sheet metal tab and folding.

Hexagons really are the bestagons.

This is a powerful sheetmetal technique that I have been using the past year in my jewelry designs. This sheetmetal technique not only works for the creation of a cylinders but any sheetmetal body you can create.. At the 15 min mark, I would suggest using offset face instead of extrude cut to eliminate the flange. Just offset face the thickness of the sheetmetal rule. I have found on complex designs that extrude cut is very slow and error prone.

It's magic!

I would love a video that focuses on organization tricks like using components, making tweaks to one instance of a component, the ins and outs of making things parametric, etc. thanks!

If shopping for a New Mac computer, with the Goal of F360 running Really well, what attributes should we be looking for to optimize? Noticed a few "hiccups" rendering and calculating on this specific tutorial, something FAR too frequent with my current machine. What attributes are most important? Single core performance, RAM, other attributes, and how important are they weighted against each other? Thank you for another Interesting challenging tutorial, and for taking the time to point out small nuances in tool selection and use! Learn SO much here!

I am perhaps the wrong person to ask here. For you reference, I am running AMD Ryzen 7 2700 (eight cores), 32G RAM, 5700XT. Not sure if this helps. There are quite a few threads on Reddit talking about performance. Do take note that I have sped up some portions of the video. Towards the end, there was some slow down.

Hi, how can you make a flexible material in fusion 360 that will show bending under pressure, e.g. a car leaf spring?

Would love to see any alternate versions you came up with. E.G. 2 different circular patterns of hexagons and cut each pattern with a pattern of horizontal and vertical defines

I did try to use the emboss command. However, emboss does not play well with rectangular patterns. I was also against the idea of using a circular pattern as it does not work well in creating the spiral. In a spiral, there is rotation and translation at the same time. The only way for an emboss to work would be to sketch out the whole spiral chain together with the stripes and then select each individual stripe as a profile during the emboss, which would be quite a bit of work. Perhaps my understanding of emboss is not up to scratch here in implementing this pattern. I am still trying to think of a way to use emboss with a simple sketch.

@@Fusion360School it's quite hard to explain but maybe using a central spoke sort of method so the top down view looks like a bike wheel and that cuts all the vertical lines in half of the hexagons. Then layers of circles going up the tubes to cut the horizontal lines. But like any project there's always different ways to do it and your method was very concise. I would still certainly watch a second video with the alternate ways you tried it.

Good to know that the steps worked out fine. Are you referring to the short segment at the end of the arc? In order for the sheet metal to unfold, a flat face is need to serve as the stationary face.

Thank you. Thats it. I am not a total beginner in F360, but I never used metal sheet before. So this part was new for me. Thanks for quick reaction.😊

All that camera floating around made me feel queasy. I am not sure why you did it quite do much.

The video is recorded in segments. In order to transition between segments without the model suddenly jumping to a different spot, I find it convenient to just "home" the model after each segment. I did not realise that this might make for an uncomfortable viewing experience. Sorry about that. I will try to use save views more often.
