Absolute beginners question.

Dutchworks — Mon, 13 Jul 2015 01:35:52 GMT

I just started with Fusion a couple of days ago using the online tutorial but now I'm stuck. I did and got the sketching part but now I'm trying the sculpting part, in the tutorial it says to "Step 5: Increase the number of faces to the box in Length and Width." "1. In the Box dialog window set the Length Faces to 3". My question is: How do I open the Box Dialog window? After creating the box it disappeared and I can't for the life of me figure out how to open it again....
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for posting!

Yeah, there is not, today, a way to edit the box to change the number of faces after it is created. It's on the to-do list, but not there just yet. What the tutorial is trying to get you to do is change the number of faces before you click OK in the dialog. So, at this point, it's easiest just to delete the box and start over.

Sorry for the confusion,

Thank you! I spend a lot of time trying to find it, now I know why I couldn't...

I was very happy with your question. I had the same problem. Every time I searched to re open the box dialog box.

Is this still the case? I spent hours trying to edit the number of faces after creation to no avail.

@Anonymous,

Thanks for following up on this thread. There is still no way to edit a box in Sculpt after it has been created - that is intentional and unlikely to change, because you could have made edits to the box in-between creation and the current time. However, there are a couple of tools you can use: Insert Edge and Subdivide, which can help here. Insert Edge, when you select a loop, will insert an edge all the way around the loop, and if you use the "Both" method, you can use it to add faces around a central edge. Subdivide can introduce evenly-spaced faces in existing faces, and can also be useful in this scenario. Hope one of these can help:
