Can't export more than 1 body as STL file.

clkimmeymd — Tue, 07 Nov 2023 19:07:05 GMT

Only in the past couple of days have I had this problem. I created a design with multiple bodies. I need to export each body individually as STL to 3d print. I have always been able to hide all of the bodies except for the one to be exported, and export each one in succession.

Now, I can export 1 body, but any subsequent bodies will not convert or export. I have reset Fusion multiple times and can only export a single body after each reset.

I have tried right clicking each body and saving as STL, but the scale is modified in the translation.

I need to be able to export STLs in the scale they were designed so they can bee assembled after printing.

Any ideas?

I do not see an issue with what you want to do. The video will show this. If this does not work for you, maybe you need to consider using the Repair function in the Fusion 360 Service Utility.

I had never used that function previously. It solves a lot of problems and simplifies my STL conversions. Thanks for the tips.

One additional question: How did you add the "export as STL" to the lefthand toolbar?

In the video I use the right click menu on the Browse top entry to get the command "Save as Mesh" not Export to STL. Take a look at the video a bit closer. If I am missing what you are seeing, please grab a screen capture and show me.
