Split-Trim-Join command combo to turn surfaces into a solid

[cekuhnen]

Since the new timeline you do not have access to the patch mode like before.

This makes it very complicated to work with surfaces in Fusion which is not really ideal at all.

In the screenshot you see three surfaces. The Modify menu has a split surface tool, which works but there

is no join poly surfaces and in this model for example splitting the vertical back face is not possible in Fusion.

This is really a must have function folks.

Here is the Rhino video and how it works there:

Not really happy about losing the patch mode guys.

Our company bought Fusion 360 a week ago before I realized that the Patch mode had been removed.

When will it be returning? I would not have gotten Tyco to get it for me if I would have notice it ahead of time.

Thanks!

Dustin, regarding the absent of some tools like untrim in Patch mode, and now Patch mode not being inside the desing time line, I am very sure that what you see right now as Fusion 360 is not the last word in the story but rather

the introduction chapter.

Patch Mode is still there, you can use the insert base feature tool, or stop using the design timeline and have the old 3 mode selections back.

Yes, all the patch mode tools are there in the Base feature and Form feature.

Patch mode is returning, and we will be moving all the patch tools to the timeline in the coming weeks.  First to come are Patch and Stitch based on this forums feedback.

Boudary fill which is the right tool, based on my understanding of the first post, is next in line.

great to hear the plan
