![]() The Intersection Curve tool allows the user to combine two 2D sketches to generate the geometry for a 3D sketch. To combine the two 2D sketches into a single 3D sketch, you must create a new 3D sketch and use the Intersection Curve tool, which is shown below. For the comfort of the player, most guitar bodies have a contour cut into them, similar to the one shown here. The figure below is a simple 2D sketch that defines the edge of an electric guitar body. This sketch can then be used to create geometry that bends in all planes. ![]() ![]() For example, by combining a sketch that is on the x,y plane and a sketch that is on the x,z plane, you can create a 3D sketch that has points in the x, y, and z planes. A 2D sketch only describes geometry in a single plane - the x,y plane, for example.īy combining two sketches on two planes, we can create a sketch that is described in two planes. One of the most useful ways to accomplish this is by combining two 2D sketches. The Intersection Curve tools give us a couple of ways to create 3D sketches from 2D sketches. This article covers two ways of creating complex 3D sketches with a minimum of headaches. It may be possible to create it using the standard tools, but it would not be fun. It is easy enough to create a 3D sketch such as the one above using the 3D line and arc commands, but what about the sketch below? The only problem with 3D sketches is the difficulty in creating them. These sketches can be used as the centerline of a sweep or loft, as the rail for a loft, or as an edge for creating a boundary patch. While 2D sketches make up the lion's share of the sketches that are created in Autodesk Inventor, more complex parts may call for 3D sketches. ![]() Create 3D Sketches from 2D Sketches in Autodesk Inventor 30 Dec, 2012 By: Caleb Funk IMAGINiT Tricks Tutorial: Combine two 2D sketches to generate the geometry for a 3D sketch, or use one sketch and an existing surface.Įditor's Note: This tutorial courtesy of IMAGINiT Technologies.
