commands giving errors

abiliofernandes097 — Fri, 05 Sep 2025 16:39:25 GMT

Hello

What should I do when some commands give errors?

For example:
I'm trying to delete the surface in the image below. This shape was imported from Plasticity, to reapply the fillet, and I'm getting no response.

Do I redraw everything? Or is there a less laborious option?

Thanks

Did you try Press/Pull on this face? That would let you edit the existing one instead of deleting and re-adding.

However, the problem might just be that the imported geometry has issues, and Press/Pull would fail.

If you share the model here, we can take a look at it

Also: for something as simple as this, redrawing it should be easier than determining what is wrong with it. For other, more complex shapes, the cost/benefit of redesign changes.

Thanks for the help.

Am I speaking generally about all the times when commands give errors?

Is it appropriate to look for other ways to make what I want to work?

Or do we always have to consider redesigning it?

Are there tutorials that explain these times when commands give errors? Demonstrating other ways to perform these operations?

Thanks.

It might be as simple as running the Validate command, but without the actual geometry - impossible to determine.

There are other tricks as well in the Surface environment.

I'm not sure I understand these questions completely. However, no, there is no single place to go to learn about errors and what to do about them. Each command can return wildly different errors, or fail in different ways. And, yes, it is always appropriate to look for other ways to achieve your goal. One of the powerful, yet frustrating things about any CAD product, including Fusion, is that there are often a dozen ways to get to the same result. You will see very passionate discussions on this forum about the benefits of different approaches. Most of them are equally valid approaches. So: learn the available tools, and you will eventually find out which ones work the best for different desired results.
