Surface Body still has Free Edges after Stitching

rjstrock — Thu, 09 Nov 2023 21:59:43 GMT

I am trying to convert a surface body into something that I can unwrap in Meshmixer. I can't seem to clean up the file in Fusion 360 that is an offset from a solid body. I tried stitching it, but I ends up with a bunch of free edges around the perimeter that I cannot get rid of. I was able to do this awhile ago, but I forgot what I did. Any help would be appreciated. File is attached.

Thank you so much! I'm not sure what you did, but it worked. I spent all day yesterday trying to do that. 😁

I don't know why - but for some reason I could not get Unwrap to work in Autodesk MeshMixer

I use Unwrap function in Autodesk Inventor Professional.

Ah ok. I used to have Inventor LT just for that purpose, but they stopped offering the LT version. I wish they would add that function to Fusion 360. Thanks again!
