Forming a solid from surfaces
- [Instructor] The freeform modeling in Fusion 360 opens up tremendous flexibility and opportunities to create complex shapes in a very easy manner. There are other techniques for creating complex shapes in Fusion. Besides the traditional solid modeling, Fusion 360 can also leverage a series of surfaces to construct a solid. By taking the object that you want to end up with and breaking it down into a series of sub objects or sub surfaces you can start to see how you could build an object in a different way. For example, if you have a profile that you want you could create it as an extrusion, in this case with Draft. A thumb relief could be created as a sweep.
