Fusion 360 - Twist Faceted Vase (challenge workflow)

Here is my workflow for the latest challenge.
0:00 Intro
0:15 Drawing and dimensions
1:40 Check if Face is flat
1:55 Start Workflow
2:20 Sketch 1
3:26 Sketch 2
4:05 Sweep (surface)
5:10 Patch
5:24 Rectangular Pattern
6:23 Trim
6:56 Sketch 3 (3D)
10:37 Patch faces of vase
11:10 Stitch one segment
11:16 Circular Pattern
11:46 Stitch and create solid body
12:05 Shell
12:30 Testing parameters and fail :)

A superb tut. Thank you ! Can you show how to make concrete mould for these ?

[@varazir]

Cool, I rarely use surfaces.
Do you have any workflow/model that uses intersect when you extrude?

[@KristianLaholm]

I'm using in some of the Platonic Solid videos but not with extrude (from what I recall). I planed on using intersect on the sweep in this workflow but it failed with the top and bottom circle bodies.

[@gorhino6446]

Thank you, can you pls explain how to add that into a vase?

[@KristianLaholm]

You can use the surface workflow from the video. But do not make the cylinder, make the shape of the vase yo want, it can take some tries to get a good shape.

@@KristianLaholm thank you, i will try it

G'day Kristen
Thanks fo another brilliant tutorial.
I was wondering, would fusion crash, i you change the angle of the twist BEFORE doing the shell comand?

I get the feeling the crashes are a bit random with this type of models. That's why I try and set some design intents from the start and avoid to large changes.

Look, I know this is going to sound stupid, but why didn't anyone tell me that you can add a parameter name and define it's value in the pop up field? I hardly take advantage of parametric design because I thought you had to go into parameters to name and define the value of a parameter before you could use it which was just a major hassle.

[@KristianLaholm]

Hi, thank you for your comment. I appreciate your feedback and I understand your frustration. In complex software like CAD programs, it can be easy to miss some of the helpful functions that are available. I hope you enjoy using parametric design more now that you know how to add and define parameters in the pop-up field. Happy designing! 😊
