Continuity Settings missing in Patch (Surface Tab)

Hi Everyone,

I am having trouble creating patches that are tangent to near faces, in particular, it seems that some options are missing from my Fusion 360, the continuity settings in the SURFACE PATCH section: Connected (G0), Tangent (G1), Curvature (G2) are missing, or maybe I am doing something wrong... but from the official guide there should be these settings (https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=SFC-PATCH )

I created this test with a 3D sketch, and I would like to create a patch that follows the tangency of the already created face:

3D sketch, with one extruded edge, I would like to follow the tangency with a G2

when I try to create a Patch the result is always this, and I can not modify the Continuity setting on the CURVE 2:

Result of PATCH, with missing continuity settings I also tried different 3D sketches, with 4,5 and more edges, but there was no way to display the continuity settings.

I am not using Loft to avoid singularities in the texture map, because the face I want to create has only 3 edges (and not 4 as suggested for lofting), anyway, I tried to use Loft as well, but in my design, it was not working.

I tried to repair fusion 360 but nothing changed.

Has anyone had the same issue?

Thank you in advance!

Make sure that you are selecting edge of surface and not the sketch.

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

You are right,

Apparently, I was selecting the sketch and not the edge.

But Fusion is not letting me select only one edge, is selecting OR the face (4 edges) or the 3D sketches...

What would be the best thing to do here?

I attached the file.

I wonder what you are trying to achieve.

In your image you have Edge Chain selected.

Thank you for your replies, yes I had Edge Chain Selected, and that was a problem, It managed to work after I removed that option.

but when I tried again with another design it did not let me select multiple different things, it was either sketches or edges, not both... I will try again
