I’d just make a sketch that is the same size as your sheet, then extrude it to be the right thickness. I haven’t played around with transparency, so I can’t recommend any specific materials, but I’d be willing to bet you can set the material to something transparent (maybe glass if they don’t have plexi or lexan).
AMD phenom x4 965, 8gb DDR3, and a GTX 660. There’s actually a video where I went over the process (aside from the few upgrades mentioned here) on the channel, so if you wanted to check that out, it goes into a bit more detail.
Kepler Electronics ok so I was able to get the 25x5 to be converted to sheet metal and I can select it on the bend function but when I try to edit the bend in the bend function and even when I don’t do any editing to it, the bend function won’t let me press it(meaning the OK button doesn’t light up nor can I press enter to do it. Does anyone know what to do?
I made my own fusion library a few years ago with sketch points and everything. Takes forever but makes assembly really quick.
could u send a link to it plz
Have been waiting for a Cad tutorial vid! Nice Vid :D
I video I didn’t know I wanted! Thanks.
btw if you turn off capture design history the mirror function works
What folder do you extract from the add-in?
Great. Do you know of any good tutorials for using fusion 360 to cad draw robots? Thanks.
A great video to get started using Fusion360 with vex is “Fusion 360 for vex students “ by Jack Sopotnic. It really helped me.
Can somebody please tell me how to bend vex metal plates in fusion 360? Thanks
I always use point to point moves then creat rigid groups bc joints slow down your computer a lottt
Can you make a CAD model of a change up robot design?
If I had a change up robot I would! But unfortunately, I don’t have one right now.
Kepler Electronics OK.
The steel bracelet with wide holes we used was cut from a Angle Segmented 1x1x25
Yeah, but that specific piece was missing from the library, or at least I couldn’t find it. :/
Does anyone know how to CAD the thin clear plastic sheets used on vex robots in fusion?

What are your computer specs, good sir?

@@KeplerElectronics Thank you!
Will this blow up my pc if I install it?
mabye
Hey, Does anyone know how to convert the 25x5 plates(vex) to sheet metal so it can be bent? Thanks!
There should be a button in the sheet metal window that converts it.
Kepler Electronics I have tried to click on the 25x5 sheet to convert it but it won’t let me click on it?
