Intermediate Solid Features in Fusion 360

To perform a loft, we need sketch profiles on different planes

Before making this loft, we prepared a sketch on a construction plane

The loft tool is under the drop-down menu in the "Create" section of the tool bar

First we select the two profiles to loft together

Then we select the guide type. In this example, we selected guide rails to constrain the volume created between the two profiles.

Selecting "guide rails" allows us to choose the points connecting the rails and move them.

This loft produces the solid indicated with the dark blue arrow.

To create a sweep, we need a profile and a path

A sweep creates a pipe along a path with a cross section given by a sketch profile

For this example, we created an arbitrary shaped profile and path

The sweep tool is in the drop down "Create" menu

Select the profile to sweep and the path to follow

The orientation determines whether the profile lies perpendicular to the path or parallel to itself. This example shows a perpendicular sweep

The sweep tool creates the shape indicated by the blue arrow

Creating threading in Fusion 360 requires a solid body compatible with threads, i.e. cylindrical bodies or holes.

This example starts with a cylinder made by extruding a circle 10 mm in diameter

The drop down "Create" menu houses the threading tool

Select the surface on which to create threads

Denote the threading specifications

Choosing to model the threads actually cuts them into the body. Leaving the "Modeled" box unchecked creates cosmetic threads.
