Autodesk Fusion 360

[Anonymous]

I have been using AutoCAD Mechanical with Thermal Desktop for the last 10 years. I'm now using Autodesk Fusion 360 and the learning curve is quite a bit steeper than AutoCAD Mechanical. I'm  trying to take three 40' shipping containers and weld them together. I have a Solid Works model of a 40' shipping container, but I have not been able to create 3 instances of the container. I tried creating 3 components and copying the body parts into the 3 components, but all of the body parts have the same body number. I want to delete the common interior walls, but when I delete an internal wall, I delete all of the panels on that side of the container, so the exterior walls get deleted too. I tried following the tutorials and uploading/importing as described, but I just cannot get it to work.

Here is a video that explains the effects of copying and pasting components and bodies in Fusion 360:

Thank you! That video was hugely helpful.

Please share your design so we can Analyse this. I am pretty sure Your Fui0sn 360 is not broken.

This thread is for answering the issues posted by @Anonymous and you should start a new thread for your issue.

[TrippyLighting]

In that case, as suggested, create a new thread in the support forum and share your design.

Yes, please do create a new thread.  It is confusing to everyone when people combine topics in a single forum thread.

And please share your sketch, as everyone is suggesting.  Very little debugging or help can be offered with just an image.

However, having said that, your "ghosts" look like sketches that are visible.  You can just turn those sketches off with the light bulb icon beside the sketch.

This is my first time using the forum thing so I am a bit new to it, how do I create a thread?

And I have tried the lightbulb thing, it does not work

Anyone there?
