How am i supposed to combine a surface with a body without the "thicken" option

Anonymous — Mon, 07 Dec 2020 12:30:21 GMT

So as you can see in the picture below I've created a curved shape that I wanna insert into the main body and combine them to be able to create a hole in it but fusion is apperently not letting me chose that curved shape to combine it, and I don't want to thicken the shape because then it won't look like I want it to.

You are working too hard - do you want to see how to do this correctly?

Is this a school assignment?

Hopefully you learn something from the two samples. I think I would use elements of each of the examples for the final design.

I recommend that you recreate your favorite one from scratch - as you can see the process is far more easy that you initial attempt.

Tips:

Fully define your sketches.

If you use Move - you are probably doing something wrong - ask questions.
