Offset Face behaving strangely, error encountered only on a section of the part

Anonymous — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 12:45:59 GMT

Hello all. I'm new to Fusion and am working through the Fusion Mastery courses in my spare time to help speed up the learning process.

On a recent self learning project, I am experiencing an unusual error. I have a pattern that I used to split two faces (flat vertical surface and a radiused top), and am attempting to offset the faces inboard for a cosmetic cut that wraps the two surfaces.

A portion of the offset face works just fine, but as I progress down the length of the part, I receive the following error:

"Error: The body could not be repaired after deleting faces.
Try changing the selection, or use the Delete tool in the Patch workspace to delete geometry without repairing the gap."

It's very frustrating, as the offset command works just fine with a different shape of pattern (same part, different model). I have been unable to find any way to have Fusion tell me which section of the pattern is the culprit. I can offset outboard along the whole surface, but only the first part will allow inboard offset.

I have attached the .f3d file for inspection if you need it.

To get the problematic cuts to work you can create a thickened surface to cut the body and then mirror it to the other side.
