"Inset" faces selection and other things

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi , 

I'm from 3dsmax and i've some troubles with fusion 360, i'd like to make an "inset" (like the 3dsmax fonction) of some selected faces (see the picture below) but i can't figure out how to do that simply ... i've try with the offset function , but it just do the modification on the top or bottom, not the all selection 😞 It kind of work with a sweep profil but it's not very handy.  Same thing if i want to extrude this face selection to a new body .. How do you guys do that kind of stuff ?  

In fact i try to replicate the same simple shape as in this video (at 2:50) :

Hi hydeman,

There is no "Easy" Way to do that like in Max and Maya......although there should be.....

The way you have to do it now is with a sketch in the middle of the object, then do an extruded cut for the inset. I'm headed home so I can't do a short video now but if someone doesn't answer this by the time I get home I will make one to show you. Sorry I couldn't be of more help right now.

Hi Hydeman, 

Here's one way to do what you are asking. Here's a screencast (no sound): http://autode.sk/1I4BC9F

Guys, please make this possible! It has been two years already. That's basically one click function inside Moi3D. Fusion360 is too powerful to not have it already.

It was requested multiple times and AD knows about it.

 

This is another area where T-Splines has to catch up as insert face is a standard tool to have.
