Hello,
I am attempting to use an Altium generated step file in Fusion. Unfortunately, this immediately renders Fusion unresponsive, since any attempt to move the model causes Fusion to stop responding for minutes at a time- until it finally snaps to. I found out in another post here in this forum that this issue was already discovered and resulted in the creation of an internal bug item for Fusion (Internal reference FUS-37719) back in January of this year. At the time, another user provided a useful work-around but, unfortunately, the solution is to remove detail from the model to make it easier for Fusion to move it around.
Many of our components are small surface mount components and the application of the band-aid results in much of the detail being removed from the model. The improvements in response time are also somewhat modest. Can anyone report any progress from Fusion on this issue? Or, is there some method by which we can make the models easier for Fusion to move around that doesn't include removing visible detail from the model?
I have so-far tried:
- Updating video card drivers as directed in another post here in the Forum
- Exporting the model as a single Part & Turned off "Export Folded Board" in Altium
- Selected "Prefer generic 3D models" during step creation in Altium
- Not exporting Pad Holes in Altium
- Checked "Limit Effects to optimize performance" (under "Graphics Diagnostic" in Fusion)
- Removing any body smaller than 1.6mm as recommended in the video offered as a work-around in the above mentioned forum post.
#6 above did provide modest improvement to response time, but at the expense of removing significant detail from the model. I wasn't able to see any response from Autodesk/Fusion indicating they've fixed the issue, but please correct me if I'm wrong.I have attached one of the models that is giving us issues. Thanks in advance for any help you could offer.
I have *atttempted* to attach a step file to this post repeatedly, but haven't been succesful. I get no error- just the reload of the page. I'm not sure why...
