Convert mesh into surface

[Anonymous]

I am using the latest version of Fusion 360 and am trying to convert a simple box t spline into a body by following this tutorial by Autodesk:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9pLazatrG8. But I can not find the Modify -> Convert option... I want to be able to select specific edges within the Convert menu to keep, i.e. "Keep Edges" as shown in the video. But cant find any of these options... any help?

I believe to do so you'll have to turn of the timeline.

If you have the timeline enabled the conversion from a T-Spline into a solid is automatic and does not offer you these choices.

You can keep the timeline on if you want to.  the convert button moved, it is now under utilities.  when you ok the convert command fusion will kick you out to the modelspace.  you can get back in by double clicking on the sculpt feature.

if timeline is on you can only create one solid body from the tspline with timeline off you can create multiple bodies.

AFAIK (I am not at my Fusion station ATM) the timeline will not give you the "keep edges" option.

At least it did not a few weeks ago whaen this topic came up in another thread 😉

Must be getting harder to remember 😉  or AD fixed the glitch, either way keep edges is there now.

He He. Yes, @jeff_strater also pointed out to me that htis was possible in timeline mode. Fair enough 😉
