*Failed to Boolean bodies together

shermancrane1980 — Thu, 06 Feb 2025 00:36:03 GMT

relatively new to Fusion, so I haven't encountered this error until now, and what I'm finding here doesn't quite answer it for me. I am trying to make a figure with some arms coming off the side, so i figured I would use the body of the figure as a tool to trim the arms so they can attach flush, but i got the following error.

I thought it might have been the gap between the segments

But when I try it with single segments I still get the same result.

I would like to look out for this in the future, so can someone shed some lite on what sort of thing causes this and how to fix it?

Hi,

1. convert Mesh to BREP

2. combine solids

That works in this case, but thee are hundreds of threads on tis forum where the combine does not work.

It might be best to convert the Barrel into a mesh (Mesh tab ->Create->Tesselate) and then combine in the mesh tap.

But only do this as the latest possible stage o the design.

@shermancrane1980 I don;t assume you are using a pid subscription, but if you do, you can use the organinc mesh conversion, which would ht ehe best option in this case.

Or, if you have a free subscription, you can use InstantMeshes, or the quadriflow remesher in Blender to convert the triangulated mesh into a quad mesh , import it into Fusion and then into a T-Spline and the BRep. Sounds like a lot, but is usually very quick to do and returns much superior results as opposed to convert the traingulated mesh directly int o faceted solid.

I can create a screencast later is needed.

I tried converting the disks to mesh and you're right, I was able to combine/cut just fine. but why won't it work as a solid? that's really what brought me here. The arm mesh was initially converted to solids, but trying to do a combine/cut after that is where the issues are coming from. I don't think it would be an issue, but does the fact the disks were created via sketch cause a problem?

will that work for you if you combine/cut? because initially I had already converted the mesh and it won't let me do that. I'm not trying to join the two. i want to use the disk to trim the arm off so I can make a removable arm that site flush when installed.
