I’ve got a mystery and maybe y’all can help me figure this out - <BR />I was half way through a project when Fusions Cam stopped recognizing my mesh model. I cut one side just fine, came back the next day to do the second side and I started getting a Zclearance error. If I regenerate the paths I used the day before, they ignore the mesh and cut / face the stock down to the set bottom height. Also the “shadow” of the paths I had programmed have now moved away from the stock. Moving the model in Cad will correct the Zclearance warning, but it no longer recognizes the mesh model. <BR /><BR />I was just doing this as a learning project / making something fun for myself (it was supposed to be a lamp base) so I’m not out too much more than my time but, man what a bummer. Can anyone shed some light on this one? My only guess is that fusion updated between operations, I see there’s new buttons in cam that weren’t there last time, but I wasn’t able to find anything about meshes that might have changed in the updates.</P> Thu, 04 Mar 2021 12:14:46 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-manufacture-forum/fusions-cam-stopped-recognizing-my-mesh-model/m-p/10126703#M68876 FacebookGroupMember 2021-03-04T12:14:46Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-manufacture-forum/fusions-cam-stopped-recognizing-my-mesh-model/m-p/10128440#M68877 double-check your setup.
