Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.</P> Fri, 10 Mar 2023 20:40:02 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/how-to-make-copied-part-unique/m-p/11813672#M43035 jhackney1972 2023-03-10T20:40:02Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/how-to-make-copied-part-unique/m-p/11813675#M43036 <P>You probably used Copy/Paste instead of Copy/Paste New.&nbsp; The first one will give you an "instance" of the original so if you bore a hole in it the copy will get the hole.&nbsp; The second one will give you an independent copy where changes to one will not affect the other.&nbsp; Just a guess.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>If this is the case, there is a way to "sort of" separate them without doing your work over again.&nbsp;</P> Fri, 10 Mar 2023 20:48:43 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/how-to-make-copied-part-unique/m-p/11813675#M43036 jhackney1972 2023-03-10T20:48:43Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/how-to-make-copied-part-unique/m-p/11813698#M43037 <P>I used the move/copy tool. and selected Create Copy.
