Industry standard and such designs could be used for application and projects such asĪre you wondering if Parametric modeling is for you?įor small and simple sketch such as basic rectangle example discussed in this post the parametric modeling might not seem fruitful and practical as you would know the dimensions first hand. These screenshots are taken from Fusion 300 that is a predecessor of Fusion 360. Here are the images of a complex geometry where I changed parametersand achieved needed results. Please continue reading if you would like to follow along with a tutorial and screenshots…. When you need to change the dimension of the figure, just change the values of the parameters as many times as you would like to do without worrying about redrawing the figure. Just define the parameters and assign them to sketch. In contrast to this, with parametric modeling, you would have to draw the sketch (or geometric figure) only ONCE. Imagine if you needed to repeat these steps over and over in a complex design to get accurate dimensions. If you used these tools and have already drawn your geometric figure (like a rectangle in this case), how would you change the dimension of already drawn figure? Most likely you would erase the current one and would redraw a new one with correct dimensions. You could be using any software tool to draw this such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, AutoCAD, MS-Paint and so on. Let’s take a deeper look.įor e.g.,If you would like to draw a rectangle then you would need to have its dimensions first (both length and width). In parametric modeling, you would have to define parameters of any sketch followed by drawing the sketch and assigning the parameters to that sketch (Simple as that, isn’t it?). Without any further due, let's dive into this and take a look at how this is achieved. The good news to me was that I was able to overcome this issue Thanks to Parametric-Modeling of Fusion 360. Wouldn’t it have been easier if I had an option to adjust the dimensions of the entire design using just a few clicks and saving a lot of time by avoiding drawings designs over and over? I am sure you probably felt the same way if you came across similar issues and I can understand how frustrating can it be. While making designs for stone tiles and textile printing I had faced challenges of redrawing the design a number of times just because I needed a small change in the dimensions.
