move and rotate features with direct modeling.

After completing this video, you'll be able to use press pool, move copy and delete
00:14
Infusion 3 60. Let's carry on with our saw handle casing design.
00:18
At this point we've taken a look at modifying the vent openings in the case.
00:22
But now we want to take a look at
00:23
adjusting some of the internal structure in this design,
00:27
we want to move the internal rib.
00:29
And the first thing that we want to explore is the use of press pull.
00:33
When we select press poll, we can grab internal faces and begin moving them.
00:38
Notice that as the curvature changes,
00:40
Press pool is able to adjust the internal geometry.
00:43
However, this isn't moving the rib, it's simply making it thicker.
00:47
So in this case we could select the backside faces and using press pull,
00:53
increase them in both directions.
00:55
But what if we wanted to simply move the rib over to the right? So let's hit cancel.
00:60
And let's try another tool. In this case we want to use move copy.
01:04
Move copy has several different options for the move object type, components,
01:09
bodies, faces and sketch objects.
01:12
For this example, we'll be using faces.
01:15
We then need to select all the faces that we want to move.
01:18
In this case we're going to be moving all the faces associated with that rib.
01:22
I'm gonna view this from the front.
01:25
Now in some cases when you select the first phase,
01:27
the coordinate system pivot point will be based
01:30
on the normal direction of that face.
01:31
Ours is a vertical rib so the orientation is perfectly fine.
01:36
But if you find that your pivot point is not correct.
01:39
You can always use the set pivot point and reposition it at any location
01:44
for me. I'm going to set my pivot point right here.
01:47
Use the green check mark to okay that and then begin moving the rib over to the right.
01:51
Once again, fusion 3 60 is able to adjust the rib as it goes around the curvature.
01:57
However,
01:57
you will note that the upper portion of the
01:59
rib is based on the height of the surrounding ribs
02:03
is something that we should just keep in mind as we begin to move ribs.
02:06
Is that its position is going to be based
02:09
vertically how it sits currently in this case,
02:12
I'm going to move this rib back a bit
02:14
and I want to actually rotate it as well and once again you
02:18
can see that as it's rotating it is extending it out as well.
02:22
So let's say okay
02:25
And notice that even though the preview showed
02:27
a small line on the inside of the housing
02:29
fusion 360, patches it just fine.
02:32
The next thing that we want to do is we want to talk about removing a rib completely.
02:36
In this case I'm going to select the face is
02:39
associated with the next rib over to the left.
02:41
Gonna use modify and delete
02:45
once again fusion 3 60 automatically patches the surrounding geometry.
02:49
You'll notice that it appears that it left a small edge in the bottom.
02:53
If we select that face and hit, delete,
02:55
notice that it is able to continue to patch that geometry around it.
02:59
So this is a great way for us to
03:01
make adjustments to designs that don't contain parametric history.
03:05
We're able to thicken,
03:06
move and rotate a rib as well as use delete to completely remove it
03:11
at this point. Let's make sure that we do save the design before moving on.
