Вставка

- Here's my first attempt at doing a tutorial for my process of modeling an electric guitar neck in Fusion 360.
Here's the link to the add-in I've written to help automate the fretboard:

The amount of expertise and effort going into this as well as the add-in provided for free is just incredible. Much appreciated and respect.
Brilliant Brad. For us Novice Fusion Users, that are only interested in creating guitars, this this is heaven sent. Your part 2 video is also a home run. I have created a tilt-back bolt-on neck with great difficulty, surprising how much can get done using the wrong geometry commands that cause problems down stream. What ever inspired you to to do these guitar videos please continue. Some of us don’t want to create whiskey bottles or soda cans and are too old to take that road. Thanks again
Brad, thank you so much! Keep it up man! Earned a sub!
WOW, thanks Brad for sharing this information. What a blessing. I had my guitar body in Fusion 360 and had started work on the fret board and neck and found these videos. What a different way to solve this problem, or rather brilliant. I was working from the neck shape instead of the fret board. Same for video 2 &3. Looks like the current version has the fret slot following the fret board top. I had a few issues with geometry as I was modeling a 3 + 3 peg head and my dimensions didn't fit the model, which is OK as I can deal with that at a later stage. Finally figured it out and left several of the peg head dimensions with the default values. SO thanks for default values. I was also excited to find out there is a Fusion 360 Luthiers group. Thanks again!
Holy wow. Mind blown, Brad. Thanks!
true to download the zip file to my new computer but could not find the download. i had saved from my old computer but for some reason it wouldn't work with windows 11 pulling it into Fusion 360.
Am I missing the download link? I'm going to the link above for Guitar Engine, but I don't see the zip.
Great video :) I can see the github hasn't been updated in a few years. Is this still a functional add-on? I'll give it a play around :)
You should update this, it's a huge time saver.
being able to save presets and share them with other users to generate an open-source environment to fast track design. instead of a check box, are
ad-out that has a generic guitar that changes as variables are input would also be cool. don't know about the feasibility but it would be cool.
Hey Brad, the End Radius value isn't working when making a compound radius. Regardless of the value entered it's creating a straight line in the sketch so the loft creates a radius at the nut then transitions to a flat radius at the heel.
Does your generator do fanned frets?
This is Great for my noob self.
AMAZING!! Thanks!
Hi Brad! the add you have created is amazing! can you help me with some tips for bass neck creation with this add? thanks
This is seriously sick extension! overcomplicated for a noob like me :D Great Job!
Thanks so much Brad that was really helpful. Can't wait to try it out on a project I'm doing.
Great addon! Any chance it could be modified for ukelele design?
Just give the tool your parameters and it will model a fretboard that correspond to your settings. I made a 4 string bass fretboard with that tool and it works great.
Just found these videos. I’ve been trying to design a neck and was just about to call it quits. But then I found these videos and they are exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for putting these and for the fretboard add in. I’ll have to download it and give it a try.
Not able to follow link to the fretboard link. Can you please advise? Looks like a great project and looking forward to working through a build.
Hey Scott, check out this updated video. It also has the latest link to Guitar Engine: ua-cam.com/video/nexoo_gvDb8/v-deo.html&t
@@bradandersonjr Thank you! I found the updated Guitar Engine and built a neck for a guitar a friend is building.
Great job Brad!! This is truly amazing work. Please continue working on it and adding features like angled headstocks and classical neck joint ext... I know this is a lot of work and I wouldn't mind paying for the script if you choose to go that route at some point.
I was trying your script and everything works so far except that I am getting the drawing sideways instead of flat on the x and y axis. Do you have any ideas of what I am doing wrong? Thank you!
I just checked out your script. This thing is really awesome. Let me know if you continue it.
Brad do you have an option on this generator for multi scale fretboards?Thanks
Hey! Currently, I don't. I did begin working on a solution for this earlier this year but it ended up on the backburner. I do intend to implement this in the future!
@@bradandersonjr Thanks Brad I'll look out for it👍🏼
does the Add-in not allow scale length change?
GOD !! VERY HELPFUL!!
hello Brad, thanks a lot for your effort. but, for some reason i can't open it in fusion 360... maybe is beacause my laptop is a PC.
let me nkow please if is posible to have it.
The download link does not seem to work for the add-in.
quick search on google: github.com/BradAndersonJr/GuitarEngine
How to do angled headstocks with a valute?
The is such a useful tool and a great time saver.
It is deleted.....any other link?
Hey! Sorry about that, I've updated the links!
@@bradandersonjr thank you so much for replying! I like your work alot!!
Hello Brad, My hobby is classical guitars and this program you have dedicated so many hours will save me to do it myself assuming I can. I follow your instructions and unzipped the link you have in the description, went to scripts and hit run, but is no opening in the object bar and consequently I cannot work with it. My question is "what I am doing wrong? I have windows 64. Please help.
Also does this work on a mac? Thanks
It should!
@@bradandersonjr Thanks again, and thanks for the quick reply
That is an amazing tool, keep up the great work!
Brad, this is amazing! Thank you for the video.
