Sketch half the profile and revolve it. I don't have Fusion here, so I'm not sure of the exact name of the revolve command.
I’m new to fusion 360 and relatively new to cad in general. I’m attempting to model a radius dish and am sure it’s something simple but it has me stumped. Basically it’s a 24” circle that’s 0.75” deep and has a dished surface with a radius of 25’. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just bought one of those from Luthiers Mercantile except 15' radius.
Cheaper than i can make it.
What guitar are you making?i
I haven't got the style down that i want to build yet but I'm most likely going with a grand auditorium style body and then doing a cantilevered neck.
I realize i could buy one cheaper than making one but I also know i could use the practice with F360
There are many ways to skin a cat. What I ended up doing was making a rectangle that was 0.75” tall and 24” long. I then made a vertical line and used the tangent and centerline functions to place it vertically through the center of the rectangle. After that I made a 3 point arc with a circumference of 300” and used the coincident tool to place the arc on the top corners of the rectangle. From there I used the push pull function with the equal to both sides to extrude the rectangle to a thickness of 0.0625”. I then extruded the arc across the 0.0625” depth and then the same with the vertical line through the body. I then split bodies with the arc and vertical line and removed the bodies I didn’t need. This left me with a 12” long body that had the arc in the top of it. Using the revolve function I chose the large face of the body that I had and chose the axis to revolve it around which was the face of the smallest height. After revolving full it makes a 24” circle with a 25’ radius dish
If you have a look through the fusion forum there are quite a few guitar guys there

Being Disabled is OK CNC is For fuN
Creekrat, this would be easily done in solids, 24' sphere and rectangular solid,
boolean subtraction about 5 minutes to do the drawing , then direct to the CNC. does 360 do solids?
What grand auditorium plans are you starting with ?
I am doing dreadnaught molds and side benders from Georgia Luthiers Supply plans,
they are great drawings full sized and verified a few times.
Been doing this too long
I'm not sure about the solids in Fusion but there is bound to be a similar function. All told, the way i did it took me about 5 minutes or so as well.
[QUOTE=What grand auditorium plans are you starting with ?[/QUOTE]
I haven't got any plans yet and want to work on a couple tele builds first and then most likely a cnc router build.
Go to Grabcad for starter files.
