Lower Hinge

The lower eyelid hinge needs to fit over the upper eyelid hinge, so we can use that to extrude from.

---

• Extrude - Select the circle profiles and extrude by 2mm symmetrically.

---

• Join - Extrude the profile below by -2mm:

  • Set the start to object, and use the flat section as the new object profile

---

• Extrude the screw hole - extrude the middle screw hole profile, setting the distance to all

---

Extrude to Object

There is a small gap between our parts that we need to fill.

Fusion has a handy feature for this in the extrude dialog box in the extent type called to object.

Mirror

Lets mirror this new feature.

• Mirror - Click on the CREATE and Mirror function, then select the 4 features that have just been created and the origin as the mirror plane.
