Difficulty with Bodies

Anonymous — Fri, 13 Dec 2019 18:04:33 GMT

Approximately a week ago, while sketching on an off set plane, the body 'disappeared.' As a result I could see the outline of bodies, but that is all. This oddity exists within all my projects and previously modeled bodies in separate files. When looking at Fusion 360 on my new laptop (which has the latest version of Fusion 360 while the old desktop I use doesn't), the same issue occurs. I am still able to model, sketch, edit etc, however this lack of visibility proves difficult when trying to verify that the body is complete / the appearance is correct. Upon looking online for similar issues, I stumbled across the suggestion to 'Compute All,' this did nothing when I tried it.
Many thanks for your time.

Please attach an example of your models which show this issue. In the future, when asking a question about a model, like this one, you will get a quicker and better answer if you attach an example of your file for the forum users to look at.

Images help but, as I mentioned, you need to attach an example of your model.

I'm not clear on what you mean (I'm using this software as a a student in highschool).

This is the link https://a360.co/2PMQrEq however what it shows is not what I see on my screen.

Yes, sharing via your Fusion 360 database is a method. You can also attach an exported model using the same method you attached your screen capture.

Now to the issue. I too can get a little dropout, in the graphics, if I use one of the wireframe modes. I suggest you choose a Visual Style of Shaded with Visible Edges or one of the other shaded styles to show you model completely. The graphic dropout you mention, and I see also, has been brought up to the Fusion 360 development team through other forum questions.

Many thanks for your help! I'm not sure where to find that initial drop down menu, however upon hitting ctrl+6 the issue was resolved, and resolved within all my previously finished models!!

I will pass this tip on to a fellow in my class who has recently experienced the same issue.

Thanks again, and a very Merry Christmas to you!

Bottom of the screen. You could ask your instructor.
