extruding a section takes a long time. It's been like that for the last week or so

@gdcm1964

Can you attach a file here that exhibits this behavior?

Are you running a 3DConnexion device? If yes try Calibrate.

It's slow to open now too.I'm getting the "program not responding message now as well.

Rebooted it and seems better. The model I'm working on has a lot of detail.

would that slow down the extrusion?

I shut it down. It's pretty much useless now. It took well over 15 minutes for the last extrude.

It's working better this morning. Is it possible that the sheer number of users online was causing it?

Can you record an instance of the issue occurring on your phone and upload it to the forum if this is a repeating issue please.

Your specs seem fine for Fusion

So I took a look at your file and timeline in general, I saw a lot of yellow issues within sketches and extrusions, so I can only assume that you misused the delete feature which removed necessary reference data. This is just a wild guess but I'm presuming it is most likely because of Fusion 360 having to work on cache data only without the original data which is potentially causing your PC to slow down.

Regarding the sketch I zoomed in on in the photo, Are you tracing an image and just extruding it upwards to create the design of this badge your making? as there may be a more efficient way to achieve your desired end result with either an application for fusion 360 called Salvador project or just another method that could drastically reduce your timeline,

Could you show your reference photo and explain your end goal please?

It's a bit rushed but is this the rough layout of what you're trying to achieve? from the name I'm guessing it's a badge, there should be enough room towards the centre "leaf"? Canadian leaf? to fit a pin in.

Hi Ricky.
I'm making a trailer hitch insert for a friend that served in the Airborne Regiment.

I'm going to print it in multiple colours which is why I have the different layers.
I dug around the internet and found another picture of the hat badge that doesn't see to be as detailed.

I'm going to try extruding that one.

This is the picture I'm working with now

using Project Salvador may help you with the process:

Rather than having the many sketches you had originally.

gdcm1964 — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 11:54:26 GMT

so I downloaded Project Salvador, installed it and I can't find it anywhere. lol

Re: program is slooooow

TimelesslyTiredYouth — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 19:41:36 GMT

Just to check, after downloading Project Salvador, you ran the application so Fusion can detect it? as in attempt to open the Project Salvador file you downloaded.

If so, then just follow the video below and you can apply Project Salvador:

*ignore the fact that I somehow enabled another application alongside Salvador

Hope it helps,
