Bug with Modify > Combine Tool

pengox — Thu, 02 Jan 2025 21:13:46 GMT

I am trying to combine two bodies into one, but for some reason Fusion won't do it for part of my model.

I have recorded a video describing my problem here:
https://www.loom.com/share/29078fcb0b3645c7a6c7816bb5919e93

I know the combine tool can perform the function I want, as the right side of my model has been combined the way I described. But no matter what I do to the left side of the model, it won't combine the bodies and ends up creating new bodies that remain separate.

In reviewing my video, I see it doesn't show the UI for some reason. Here is a screenshot of the GUI showing the newly created bodies, which is not the correct behavior. It should be combining the bodies, not copying them into a new component.

please share the model here. Export as a Fusion Archive, and attach it to your next post in this thread. Thanks

Thanks for looking into this. Here is a copy of the file.

Thanks. The problem here is those two bodies do not overlap. Combine requires bodies to intersect to be combined into one.

If you move one so that they overlap, Combine will succeed:

Oh, wow I feel like a total dunce. Thank you so much for looking into this and the help in correcting it.

I appreciate you!
