I would suggest to convert the middle line (mirror line) from regular to a construction one. It prevent from dividing the instrument panel into two halves. It can be done either from Sketch Pallete, Context Menu, or pressing X key
you can save a little bit of time on the small knobs on the bottom: sketch the first and extrude it so you have a body. then sketch a line through the middle point of the knob base, to where you want the last knob to be. then go to "create -> pattern -> pattern along path".
Great point! I've used that function elsewhere but ended up taking the long way around on this one. Thanks for the reminder! I'll demo it to the guys in our club when we cover the topic live.
Thank you very much sir for this video. I'm very new to fusion 360 and you are right, trying to design a panel as a newbie is very discouraging. Ive been trying to design my pannel for the past 4 days now and I have gotten no where. Until I saw your video this morning. so, this video is much appreciated! Quick question thought. I will be using 15 to 16 inch monitors as my g1000. now, do I need to create recess in the surface of panel? or im fine with just drawing the dimension in my panel where the monitors will be install? Thanks.
13:14 that row of buttons would have been easily done with a rectangular pattern from the first circle, just input the total number of copies and drag the arrow for the spacing/extent to the right for a single row and ignore up/down arrow.
Off topic.... I noticed you were following Humberto with the ViperJet Mk2 . I was thinking of following the techniques you use to build a fuse. Do you know anything about that project? If he sold any plans.. He does not respond.
Haven't seen anything about the project in a while It was/is definitely a good looking jet. I don't see any reason this method wouldn't work to build the Viper Jet fuse. I haven't seen plans for it but you might look on the forums to see if something ended up out there.
@@CarlLydickRC I know Ramy RC here on TH-cam built one and he made plans from a three perspective view.. It turned out great but he doesnt distribute plans
Also, i have the plans for the 103" Gee Bee R3 and was thinking of using the foam method for fuse and wing build. Any thoughts. I should definitely stick with going electric for less vibration....right?

Thanks for sharing. Building a 1:4 scale b25. This is invaluable! Appreciate your lifting our hobby.
My pleasure!
How cool. I just found this video after I made my vid on a Spitfire Panel. Dig your workflow! Absolutely agree with you about Lars.
A fit point spline would make that curve much much easier!!

Good suggestion! I'm not a pro and this slipped my mind. I'll likely mention it as an option when I work with our club this week. Thanks!

excellent help thanks, can i ask how do we add bezels ? i have added a line via offset but i cant extrude a solid bezel
Make your gauges before you extrude and it is easier.

You did NOT need the line first. Just calibrate the canvas after you insert to 150mm!!

Nice but hey, you shoulda shown us the printed panel!
Yeah, should have done that in the video. Printed panel can be seen on my Thingiverse page. www.thingiverse.com/thing:3430170
