I want to copy the blue surface so that I can start creating a 2nd model that will fit on top of it, the top model won't be symmetrical to the bottom, it will only have that similar mating surface. So all I need to so get the sketch, then I can start building up from it, but I can't seem to figure out how to work the copy function.

Select the Offset Plane option under the Construction menu, select the surface and enter "0" for the offset distance.</P> Tue, 22 Mar 2022 23:04:50 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/how-to-duplicate-a-surface-to-create-a-top-and-bottom-half/m-p/11022566#M61297 jhackney1972 2022-03-22T23:04:50Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/how-to-duplicate-a-surface-to-create-a-top-and-bottom-half/m-p/11022572#M61298 <P>Here is a short Screencast showing both methods.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><IFRAME src="https://screencast.autodesk.com/Embed/Timeline/ebb3f3bb-0365-42d4-98e7-8502a8254d0d" width="960" height="850" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen"></IFRAME></P> Tue, 22 Mar 2022 23:08:11 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/how-to-duplicate-a-surface-to-create-a-top-and-bottom-half/m-p/11022572#M61298 jhackney1972 2022-03-22T23:08:11Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/how-to-duplicate-a-surface-to-create-a-top-and-bottom-half/m-p/11022640#M61299 Thank you very much!
