Correcting dimensions

Anonymous — Tue, 07 Feb 2017 06:27:07 GMT

On Mac, Newbie question: After I've created an object, like a cylinder, I later want to change the dimensions. How can I do this? I cannot seem to find a method to bring up a modifiable bar that shows the current dimensions.

Thanks for your patience!

Hi @Anonymous

welcome to the Fusion community.

If you created a simple cylinder feature see attached video how to edit from the timeline:

Sorry, I used my Adsk testing account for the answer.

This is my right account.

Hi Josef,

Thanks. So, when I created the cylinder, I did not get a pop up menu on the right side of the screen, as happened in your video. What sorts of information did you input there, and why might I not have seen such a popup?

Hi Again,

I also do not have anything that resembles the timeline in the video. There is a small timeline down in the lower left of the screen, with scrolling arrows and one icon for the Cylinder Primitive object created, but I can't seem to get to a more complex timeline like the one in the video.

Thanks

Hi Josef,

Okay, I finally managed to access the modification system by double clicking on the icon of the object in the timeline. That problem is solved I think. As to how I can bring up the more complex timeline representation, I'll keep trying the shotgun method.

Thanks for your help!

I'm sorry for the trimmed video where isn't obvious what I clicked in the context menu, I recorded a new where it's more obvious...

Double-click on objects in the timeline works as well for edit.

There's an issue that sometimes you have to select object first (left-click) in the timeline and then right click to get the proper context menu with the Edit command.

Josef

Josef,

Thanks again for your help. So, one of my problems is that with this new computer I'm using a bluetooth mouse that for some reason the right click was not enabled. Just did that, and now I can bring up the menus in the timeline.
