need help with stitching

Andy54b — Mon, 12 Sep 2016 18:17:19 GMT

Hi, I'm working through some exercises on Nick Kloski's tutorals. I'm trying to stitch a top and bottom onto a decanter. I talked to Nick and we tried a few things and he suggested that I post the file here a ask for help. This is my first post and I could use some help, thanks.

@Andy54b

Or this part?

This would have been so much easier to just make the whole thing with T-Splines...

Phil,

Hi, first off thanks for responding. I'm fairly new to working with fusion and have subscribed to a couple of different tutorials, one of which I posted the file for. Because I'm a new user I'm trying to follow the tutorials, point for point and I've made some progress but I'm stuck. That said I'm not sure I understand your response to my question. In the first response it looks like you're control z's back several steps and in the second one you're going through the combine processes. I've tried it a couple of times and I'm not getting it to work for me. Any suggestions?

Sorry for the control z, I did that because I had tried the solution before making the video. So I used undo to get back to your state in the file.

Follow the video after the Ctrl-Zs.

Which part is not working?

If it's the first part the stitch will not work until you set the tolerance in the options to 0.001 like this:

Phil,

Hi thanks for the reply. When I opened the file, it was an earlier version without the center body in it. I tried opening the file I posted and though fusion opened, I got a message that fusion doesn't support local files. I went to the forum and double clicked on the file I posted and receive the same message so at the moment I don't seem to be able to open that file. Any suggestions?

Phil,

That seemed to work. I think the tolerance change did the trick, thank you.
