How should I resize this case? Multiple layers

laraxlanmcod — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 23:46:23 GMT

The file is for a dashboard for a screwed steering wheel. It was custom made for an Iphone 14Pro

The file specs are the following (X152M Y72M Z18.5M)

I need to resize that 14Pro dashboard to be able to fit a display with the following specs

(length is 170mm, Height 105mm and the thickness is 11.5mm.)

I also need to make Openings/Cuts to allow space for these Buttons and ports

On the left side there's small buttons to control display. (25mm from bottom of screen to buttons cut, that cut should be 45mm, from top of the screen to cut there should be 35mm)

On the right side there is some ports, HDMI, usb-c and audio port. (there are 19mm from the bottom of the screen to the ports cut, that cut should be 36mm, from top of the screen to cut there should be 50mm)

Any tips? I'm a noob having a hard time >c

If you are using the free version of Fusion, I would redesign this part from scratch using the native tools, which do not work on meshes.

Triangulated mesh data is not native CAD data and is often challenging.

As a Noob, you should NOT download stuff to modify it. You should complete one of the free complete tutorial courses here:

If you are using a paid subscription, this particular object can be converted into a prismatic solid body, which you can modify with the Fusion tools.

I have attached that converted file in case you are not interested in learning how to model in Fusion.

Simple geometry - model from scratch.

The first part of my post suggested to go through the free tutorial created by Autodesk for new users.
Then you can decide where it is wise to modify imported and even converted "stuff", or if you learn more by modeling this from scratch. We can demonstrate how to approach that!

You will learn very little by trying to modify the converted model I posted.
