Resize features with direct modeling

resize features with direct modeling.

00:06

After completing this video, you'll be able to

00:08

use delete and use press pull

00:12

Infusion 3 60. Let's get started with the supply Dataset saw handle casing

00:17

will note that this contains a single body

00:19

and there's no timeline history of any sketches

00:21

or features that were used to create it.

00:24

What we want to explore is using direct modeling tools

00:27

to make adjustments to designs that don't have history.

00:30

What we want to do first is we want to take a look at these vent openings.

00:34

Infusion 3 60. There are a handful of tools that can be used for direct modeling.

00:38

Press pull, offset face, replace face. Delete as well as a handful of others.

00:46

We're going to be taking a look at delete and press pull in this video.

00:50

The first thing that we want to do is we

00:52

want to adjust the filets size on these openings.

00:54

In some cases press pool will work for this but it is partially geometry dependent.

00:59

So in this case the best option we have is

01:02

to select all of the Philip faces holding down,

01:05

shift or control.

01:06

And then we can use the delete command.

01:09

This can be done by hitting delete on the keyboard or by navigating to modify. Delete

01:14

Fusion 360 will automatically remove and patch the surrounding geometry.

01:19

Then we can come back and we can apply a filet

01:22

in this case as we start to drag this out. You can see a larger fill. It is possible

01:27

can hit, enter to accept

01:29

next.

01:30

What if we wanted to resize the openings because we

01:32

don't have a sketch that was used to create this.

01:34

We can use the press pull tool.

01:37

Let's start by selecting press pull and select this inside face.

01:41

I'm also going to select the faces of the other

01:43

events and I'm going to navigate to this back view

01:46

as I begin to pull these out, it should resize all the vents for me.

01:51

You can see that it's moving the vents and the surrounding filets with them.

01:54

So this is a great way for us to adjust geometry even

01:57

if we don't have a sketch that was used to create it.

02:01

Even after we've moved things,

02:02

we can hold down control or command to add to our selection

02:06

and we can move multiple selection sets at the same time.

02:10

So this is a great way for us to make adjustments or

02:12

changes to a design where we don't necessarily have that history.

02:17

These tools such as using delete or press pool can be extremely handy,

02:21

but it is important to note that depending on

02:23

the surrounding geometry and the complex nature of that.

02:26

This command can take a good bit of time to calculate.

02:29

So it's always a good idea that you try with a single phase first.

02:33

See if the geometry can move as intended and then add to your selections

02:37

at this point. Let's go ahead and save the design before moving on
