To start off, let’s model out our door. To do this, we’re going to start by creating a tangent construction plane on the curved face of our door hanger. To do this, simply go up to the construction planes option, select tangent, and click on your face. From there, you can set a reference plane that aligns with the top of the track to set your construction plane.
Now lets create a sketch to rough out our door. To do this, create a new sketch, then use the rectangle tool to draw a rectangle the size of the door. Particularly, in this situation, we’re going to set this to be a 1×4, with actual dimensions of 3/4″ x 3 1/2″. Draw a rectangle, then use the Fusion 360 extrude tool to extrude it to a height of 7’0″, which will be the height of our door.
Then, use the rectangular pattern tool to copy the board 10 times so the pieces are all aligned. It should be about 10 copies to get us close to an opening size of around 36″ Draw another rectangle and extrude to create the top support, then use the rectangular pattern tool to create 3 copies so that you have your horizontal boards. From there, it’s just a question of using the move tool to duplicate your door hardware! In the next video, we’ll talk about how to set up the door and hardware so that it slides and the wheels roll together on the track!
