Boolean Subtract and leave a trail in a path

[Anonymous]

I am new to fusion and 3d concept in general.

I started to study just last week so please mind my low understanding. as well as my english

I am trying to make a foam insert for my travel case as my first project.

I have some models( constructed out from the gear that would be in the case )

and I have my foam model.

I need to make hole in the foam model shaped as my gear.
I found out the combine method and I tryied to pleay with it.

my problem is I need the cut go in to the depth of foam as well as leaving a trail on there path, so  I can slide the gear inside.

my gear shapes  are complex.

I found a video topic this thing just to make my qstion clear.

but over there the shape is simple and that is not fusion.

so is there a way of doing this in fusion and considering the complex shape and trail I would need throw the depth of the model that is being cut.

Great question, thanks for posting it.  I'm working on an example to show you the basic idea.  I'll post it later this morning.

OK, here is a screencast I made of one way to do this.  Hopefully this can help you enough to do a similar workflow to model your design:
