AUTODESK INVENTOR'S FRAME GENERATOR

[italmrci11]

After designing a tubular steel frame, for example a go kart, how would i go about adding tabs to the frame itself for suspension components, body panels etc.?

This looks like an awesome new feature!

What I don't understand is how do you get the skeleton frame (cube) to begin with? I can't seem to make one? :/ Please help! thanks!

The skeleton frame is an simple extrusion that the height, length, and width of the frame needs to be. I changed the color to "Glass" for ease of use. Then I just inserted the frame members.

Thanks for the explanation!

Since it's called "SKELETON" in your video, I thought there was a way to convert it to this, but I've learned a few more things in the meantime. However for me the frame generator still doesn't work because of an error, it seems I need to have Vault up and running as well (and that isn't working for me at the moment). I hope to fix it and check out the frame generator soon! :)

Thanks for replying!
