Hi @Anonymous,

Thank you for sharing this.

I have tried to reproduce the error report with an example file but the "Extend" function worked fine.

It would be great, if you could share your mesh file that I can reproduce exactly what you have done?

I have checked the CER in our system and I could see that your Lenovo P70 Thinkpad / 20ERCTO1WW

is using the Intel HD Graphics card for Fusion 360. I assume that Fusion 360 should be running fine with the integrated NVIDIA graphics chip.

1. Could you may update the NVIDIA Optimus Display Driver with the link here

2. Could you may check your system for any driver updates with the link here:

3. It would be great if you could share a screenshot of your "Graphics Diagnostics" window, which should show the NVIDIA GPU.

4. Could you may share the system information with us? Here is an article which guides you through the process how to manually export the *.nfo file.

I hope this helps. Please, keep us updated.

Thanks,

Hi Mike, thank you for your prompt reply

The VGA card seems to be OK: please find image attached

Anyway, I also send you the scan data of the bumper. It has been decimated because the original one was quite dense

Please ask me the passwd by email. Many thanks

Problem solved.

Basically, in order to extend the 2D entities properly, I have to hide the master section (the orange one I mean). Otherwise, if you do not hide the section, the picking among the 2D entities fails. Evidently, Fusion recognizes this section as a 'bad object' or something like that
In any case, I guess you have to take a look at this issue.
