Cannot delete face and shell model

Anonymous — Sun, 10 Jun 2018 11:28:05 GMT

Hello,

I have only been using fusion for about a day now, and I haven't run into many issues except this major one. I am designing an artwork to be 3D printed. It is a goblet/chalice water bottle. So essentially a goblet shaped water bottle. I haven't gotten to the thread or the cap just yet because I wanted to shell the item I have made.

I can delete the face on the top to make it hollow, but I can't shell this to a 1.5mm thickness, with or without the face deleted first. It tells me that the topology will change too much, and to choose a different face. I can choose seperate faces and it will do this, but I figure this will take a really long time and there has to be a quicker way. I also have troubles with this because once I thicken one face, the rest of the body doesn't show up, and I don't know how to get that back. Basically, I just want it to look like a water bottle, which is hollow.

So far I have made a sketch with line drawings, revolved it, filleted the edges, and sweeped out the cuts on the sides of the cup area.

I do have an old computer and I think my graphics is out of date, but I am using the latest software download on Windows

Thank you for help in advance 🙂

The software you are using is Fusion 360.

The Fusion 360 forum is >>over here<<.

I've tried the file in F360, but I didn't succeed, perhaps because of not enough skills.

General problems:

- Shelling of the "foot" makes no sense, therefore the part was split into 3 bodies

- Shelling of an 1.5 mm outside fillet to 1.5 mm sometimes fails. Shelling is better before these tiny fillets

- Only 30 deg section was shelled and then patterned. Less work

2018 IPT and STEP in Zip attached. Still hoping for uploads coming back without zipping needs

Later: After looking at a half section and 3D printing in the end, shelling the foot should be done as another featurep, too.

That's no big deal.
