| Oct 26, 2018 at 6:37 | comment | added | Jonathan R Swift | Which version of Inventor are you using? There's no way to private message on Stack Exchange, but if you have a Thingiverse account, drop me a message here: thingiverse.com/messages/compose?username=jonathanrswift and I'll arrange a link/time where I can go through modelling this via screenshare? The surface modelling tools in Inventor are clunky and certainly limited, but they can save you, so it's worth having a quick primer on how to make them work! 3D Sketches, particularly, are a very powerful tool... | |
| Oct 20, 2018 at 21:25 | comment | added | Jonathan R Swift | I used a flat tab in step 1), because, despite seeing that it was from a casting that probably had a rounded tab before being bent, I still had in my head that it was a sheet metal tab that would have been flat when cut. There's no reason this method wouldn't work if the floating tab in step 1) were to be convex, but I'm not going to update all the screenshots because I don't have time! | |
