Sections need to be at same 'altitude' as profle

import first tail section as dxf draw splines over polylines and erase polylines 1/2 of section only to save time and lower entity count. Sketch for rocker, import DXF, remove extra entitiesĮxtrude rocker+extra rectangle (cut) to form 'blank' body1Ĭreate work plane for each section, same offset as sections are in BoardCADĬreate sketch for each section on its work plane Sketch for outline, import DXF, remove extra entities, replace with splines if desired Jo, looking at your pictures, you might be creating bodies early, forming ribs so to speak. If you discover a better method, please let us know here in General Discussion.Ī public link to the design so far, sharing is caring and all of that jazz (I do appreciate all I have learned at Sway's): These I either print on paper, tape together, and cut out with a scissors or if I have the time or mood I will convert them into a file to be used on a CNC router or laser. Since my primary board shaping tool is hotwire on EPS foarm followed by planing and sanding, the outline and rocker (profile) templates from BoardCAD work well for me.

Here is a video from Autodesk on using a mesh body like STL to create a surfboard object in Fusion360:

STL might also be a possibility, I have used this to go to other software but the facets were not a concern for that project. You could take the DXF sections from BoardCAD you could bring them in as sketches into Fusion and then re-loft the board and then change it as you see fit.

I have not found an easy way to go from BoardCAD to Fusion360.
