Have you turned history off in that design? If right click the top node in the browser at the bottom of the menu is there an option to Capture Design History?

Nope that option is not appearing , just reset all the things to default , still the same

It is On " Capture Design history (parametric modelling" mode .

and all the extrudes, revolves, shells are appearing in the sketches.

Something weird is happening

Can you right click the design name at the top of the browser and get a screengrab of the right click menu. It looks like your file is in direct mode, the setting in properties is just for new designs, once created you can turn history on\off.

Hi,

What @HughesTooling is talking about is that preferences changes new designs and not the current one that you are working on, so as he said you need to turn the Capture Design History on

Solution goes to him

This ability to turn off the captured history of a created part... or in other words, the ability to edit your part has to be the stupidest thing I have ever seen from Autodesk! I just started using F360, 20 yrs. in IV, and I was half way through the part before realizing from someone else in the forum that double clicking on a feature in the browser doesn't allow you to edit it... and that for some reason, the new part I created in Fusion was by default set to "do not capture timeline history"... yeah... because that was user intuitive... (where's the emoji for "shaking my head"?

I know this is old, but my timeline was missing while after it was on a few minutes ago. While reading this, I figured that I accidently put fusion in full screen, and the timeline was hidden by my task bar. I went into display setting at the bottom clicked 'enter full screen' a couple times and now visible timeline above task bar. Clt-Shft-F will do same thing. Just another way of timeline 'appearing' to be off. Hope that helps someone else lol.
