Equation Driven Surface

Win64, English

Temba Mateke
This add-in plots surfaces specified by equations of the form z = f(x,y)

General Usage Instructions

  1. The Add-In can be found under the CREATE panel on the SURFACE workspace.
  2. Enter an Equation of the form z = f(x,y). Equations are interpreted using the math python package so exponents must be expressed as pow(a,b) = a^b. Read more.
  3. Specify a domain in x and y.
  4. Select whether the plot should be a solid body or not, if so, specify what the base of the body is defined relative to and the offset from that reference.
  5. Select the step size. Smaller step sizes give higher resolution graphs but take longer to process.
  6. Select whether or not to hide sketches used to create the surface.

Installation/Uninstallation

Install:

The installer that ran when you downloaded this app/plug-in from Autodesk App Store will start installing the app/plug-in. OR, simply double-click the downloaded installer to install the app/plugin.

Uninstall:

You can unload the add-in without uninstalling it by clicking the "Stop" button when the add-in is selected in the list box on the "Add-Ins" tab of the "Scripts and Add-Ins" dialog.

Unchecking "Run on Startup" causes the add-in not to be loaded in future sessions of Autodesk® Fusion 360™.

To uninstall this plug-in, exit the Autodesk product if you are currently running it, simply rerun the installer, and select the "Uninstall" button. 

OR, you can uninstall it from 'Control Panel/Programs and Features' (Windows 7/8.1/10), just as you would uninstall any other application from your system.

Additional Information

This is the first app I have developed for Fusion 360. Any feedback on how to improve it would be greatly appreciated!
