Model disappears...

eerier_bleach0f — Thu, 23 May 2024 16:01:29 GMT

I can view it in the manufacturing workspace but as soon as I go to the design workspace it's invisible. Visibility is turned on for the body and every component the body is in. There's nothing to unisolate.

Visible in manufacturing workspace:

Might come back after restarting Fusion but I'll need to wait for the beach ball of death to go away before Fuysion closes. Might be a while...

EDIT: Still invisible after restarting Fusion.

Can you share the design ?

I don't see a timeline in your screenshots or the video. Does the design have a timeline?

Doesn't look like I can PM a f3d file, I'm not attaching it to this post. Let me know ho wyou want the file.

Set Timeline to end of file, (before closing - otherwise the recompute is contenated.)

Use Compute All.

Usually restores the window objects.

Very common here from 3 or 4 updates ago.

Might help….

What?

Activate top / root level component.

With timeline controls, send timeline marker to end of file.
Bottom video player controls on left side of Timeline.

Modify > Compute All.

wait for Fusion to rebuild the file.

Usually all window display problems get fixed. ( Before the upgrade this process was automatic, but to save time we now have to do it manually - was promoted as massive time saving improvements.)

Might help…..

I don't enable the timeline, Fusion's too buggy as is.

You're saying it's by design that components just go invisible randomly?

That is complete nonsense!

No need for me to look at your file!

Well someone probably should I guess Autodesk is ok shipping software that just turns models invisible randomly for no reason?

Can't even get saving files correct lol:

It was "hard to produce" the bug that everyone has been getting for at least 6 years where the browser would just glue itself to the screen but some kid in his mom's basement who doesn't even work for Autodesk can upload a fix to github lol.

Can't go 5 minutes without a BBOD.

"Complete nonsense" that Fusion is buggy lol.

I can go for weeks without that on my Windows computers or the 7 year old MacBook Pro.

I have used CAD for over 30 years, over 20 of those in 3D starting with SolidWorks in 1998 (I still use it from time to time) I have used Fusion for almost 10 years professionally and personally in very challenging projects.

I suggest the problem sits in front of your keyboard!

I am not suggesting that Fusion does not have any bugs. I've reported a couple hundred over time.

I am suggesting that experienced users can create complex functioning designs without running into constant bugs.

No it certainly isn't. I've had this happen as well. I reported it, but my designs have a timeline to the process of creation can be reproduced.

It most often appears in models where I work a lot with surfaces and usually it happens when I stitched surfaces into a BRep (solid body). It isn't usually immediately apparent, as the solid body is visible after stitching. But when I continue to model, sometimes when I roll the timeline back the solid body disappears from the viewport.

This doesn't happen often, but it does happen. It is also hard to reproduce.

It is impossible to reproduce in designs without a timeline!

Happens every day lol:

Not sure what I did before that. Not wasting screen real-estate unless Autodesk want to buy me an external monitor. If I'm driving another monitor I'm going to need anti aliasing to not randomly turn itself on 5 times a day though lol.

Probably same issue is that's causing items in the browser to not be underlined when they should be:

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-manufacture/what-model-is-my-selected-bottom-height-referencing/td-p/12805630

Or the viewcube to just stop working randomly.

Or Fusion forgetting to take levodopa before moving sketch elements:

Or IDK the 30 other janky things I noticed just this morning.

Tries moving sketch element. Fusion decided to trick me and then just shooting it off screen:
