Cut into object

Anonymous — Wed, 01 Nov 2017 18:19:47 GMT

Hi.

I want to cut a rectangle from a plane to an object with 1mm offset for example.

I know the function extrude or pull but it doesn't work when it is on more than one surface or if the sketch is bigger than the object.

Does some one know how to do this kinf of cut without a sclupt because I have to use this cut a lot of time

Thank you

You might try doing a "split body", then push/pull the face, and combine it all back together. here's a screen cast.

Also, as a general rule you want to do fillets very last in the design. For many reasons. In this case you'll find the program doesn't bog down so much. In this case you don't even have to delete the fillets. just grab them in the time line and drag them to the end. Then when you want to make changes to the model, roll the timeline to before the fillets.

Hi,

Thank you for your answer, bur my problem is more when the rectangle have to cut the fillet too.

If I try pull as you did than I try pull in the direction of the fillet so I cut the part in the fillet too. It doesnt follow the shape.

Here is the URL so you can understand better my problem

The original screen cast does cut into the fillet a bit, it's just a matter of resizing your rectangle. Here's another screen cast. I played around with the time line to demonstrate how it effects the out come of the shape also.

Attached also is the file from the end of the screen cast.

Thank you,

It's exactly what I want to do.

But I have a more complex conception a combine of diffrent pieces and I can not move the fillet , it has to be before the cut.

If you have any idea I will apreciate it.

Thank you

Can you attach an example?

Hi,

Here is the conception. I need to do the cut where I put the rectangle.

Thany for your help. I really appreciate it.

It the attachement is not correct, Please let me know

Yikes, that's a weird model. This is going to have to be done in patch mode. Not all those curved edges are true fillets anymore either. If you plan on doing much with this model, you may consider rebuilding it (looks like it was imported?).

Any way, I'll take a run at it a little later tonight.

I tried a couple of things. In general fusion doesn't care for this model to much. The surface geometry isn't particularly clean, and that always chokes fusion up. Here is a work around approach, but not a great one.

Is it possible that you could rebuild this model in fusion? That would give you cleaner geometry, and make it easier to work with.

Hi,
The conception is totally made in fusion. Nothing is imported. My model does have this kind of curve. And this case is less complex. It s a body with fillet join to another body with a loft. It’s the loft that you find complex 😉

Your solution is manual but did work. I think that in fusion I have no choice to use this solution.

Thank you,

With that sort of degraded surface quality you can expect to run into trouble preventing you from completing your work.

I'd follow @laughingcreek's advise an rebuild tis object with clean(er) geometry. I say clean(er) rather than clean because depending on the situation it is difficult to impossible to build clean geometry in Fusiosn 360 when lofting.
