resize features with direct modeling.

After completing this video, you'll be able to

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
00:02
resize features with direct modeling.
