Add Flat Bottom To Curved Body

[maple15207]

I have a body with a curved bottom. I'd like to add a flat, ~7mm bottom so it sits flat on a table.

I can't sketch that contour in the XY plane, so I assume there's an easy automatic way. 

Thanks

I can't attach my fz3 file for some reason. Says it doesn't match the type.

I have a rectangular cube where the bottom is not flat. It is lumpy. How do I make that bottom flat with a 5-6mm thickness?

Hi

I can't help with the part problem but to upload an .f3z file you must drag and drop it into the reply as using the browse method doesn't work for some reason.

The Autodesk forum developers are aware of this issue but with the recent "upgrade" causing soo many issues they haven't issued a fix yet.

Assuming you have trouble with only one component of the assembly - can you Export that component as *.f3d?  Don't really need the entire assembly.

I don't see an f3d option

Here is the STL if that help.

I think if I made a rectangular sketch and did a join, I think there would still be a gap in a few places. If i raised it above that, it would possibly run into a layer where the model would be cut where it shouldn't.

I put in a bottom rectangle, but it cannot fill the undulating gap on the bottom. How do  I fill those in?

no, it doesn't help.  needs to be a native fusion model. (either .f3d or .f3z)

you can try a few things to get it attached.

1-try the drag and drop mentioned above

2-just zip the .f3z and attach that.  those will attach ok.

3-the .f3d file type doesn't appear as an option when ever there are linked components in the model.  you can break the links to the linked components, and the .f3d option should be available for export.

Here it is. The bottom is far from flat. I need a flat bottom about 5-6mm thick at its smallest.

[note - I changed the project from first post]

Thanks.
