untrim tool

[cekuhnen]

lets say you get a design that has some holes (step SW import)

and you want to close that hole in Alias or so I would untrim the opening.

Fusion does not have the ability to untrim data.

Very useful idea.

I did find a workaround for this, that I will admit isn't as easy as untrim would be.. but if you first patch the hole, stitch it, return to the model environment, you can then select the patch and delete it. This will untrim the original surfaces it seems.

hi there

this was just a quick fisual tool. the problem with fusion patch is that well the patch surface will hardly fit the originially trimmed surface.

ok different example think about you get a model with fillet edges and you want to restore the original hard edge model.

normlay in Rhino or so you del the fillet surf and untrim the edges the fillet trimmed.

Hi,

In my example I was not using the patch to fit to the surface, the patch is just to turn the model with a hole in it into a solid model.

In the solid modelling environment you then have a surface that you can select and delete (step 4 in my previous post). When you excecute the delete, I believe Fusion will attempt untrim the adjacent surfaces and fill in the area you are deleting.

For your other example of importing a model with fillets and wanting to restore the hard edge model, the same delete action can be used.

I've drew up a quick loft in rhino and added a fillet at one end and a blended surface at the other. Below you can see that if I then select the fillets or blended surface in Fusion and hit delete, it untrims the surface and restores the hard edge.
