Hope you can gain something from this very short video. The name of a command can often constrain our thinking. In this case, the flange is not exactly a "rib" in the typical sense of the word. But by understanding how a command works, we can deploy it in unlikely scenarios. Whenever there is a need to create material that conforms to a curved face, it is good to keep the rib and web commands in mind.

True, never would have thought to use rib for something like that. Probably nice to use for a closing mechanism on a round object.

One can never get enough useful examples (and re-explanations) of the rib command. I’ve had situations like that shown here and Rib never crossed my mind-just arbitrary extrusions and subtractions.

I’ve been using fusion semi professionally for years and at some point even teaching it.
I did not know the rib tool could be used like this but remember at least five instances where trying to do exactly this has caused me immense frustration.

Thank you, that was really helpful.
Side note: I just have the top half of the options in the rib menu. It begins to get very confusing in Fusion if in such cases just an update is missing or if it is just not in the maker / hobbyist license. I wish they would offer at least for the updates an option for us to get the updates as soon as possible if we want to, instead of the slow rollouts that sometimes take weeks or months for some. It could also help if we could see all options in the maker version, but have the features we can't use grayed out. That would make watching educational videos much more consistent and lead to less confusion.

Thanks so much! This is a scenario that I have encountered and I never thought of using the rib command.
