Distortion in the model

Anonymous — Wed, 25 Aug 2021 17:53:00 GMT

In the piece I designed, the bottom cover appears to be broken into pieces. Of course it wasn't designed that way 🙂 This is how previous versions of the file look like.

I had .stl file before this situation happened.

I couldn't find how to fix it.

Hello @Anonymous

Could you share your design?

If it's ok for you, here you will find an article How to share files in Fusion 360.

I can look at your design and I will try to give you some suggestions about what happened there.

There are 74 warnings and 30 errors in your design:

I would consider redesigning this from scratch.

Before doing so I would strongly advise you to go through one of the Fusion 360 courses here.

You are not taking advantage of Fusion 360's parametric abilities whatsoever. I would expect to see sketches, but no move operations.

Also, stay away from the geometric primitives in Fusion 360. They are only semi-parametric and that can be very limiting.
