Cannot delete objects

[Anonymous]

Dear support team,

Just installed the software on a Mac Powerbook I7, 16GB RAM with 512 SSD and albeit it looks easy, I find it quite hard or even impossible to use after the first 5m of excitement.

Installation was messy, the software didn't show up and I had to manually look for the program to create a shortcut to be able to actually launch it.

One particular and pretty terrible issue that makes the software unusable is that I can't delete objects at all and each time get an error message.

for example, I create a cylinder, select it and try to delete it via right click and selecting delete and all I get is the message "error delete face 1", "compute failed", "the operation could not heal the edited region of the model". 

In addition, each time I leave the fusion window, to type this message, the error message disappeares,

Very frustrating

thank you for advising

The problem is you've selected a single face not the body, Fusion tries to heal bodies if you delete a face but can't with a cylinder so you get an error, in the model workspace the result must be a closed volume. Fusion is not a toy you can just jump into, do yourself a favor and do some of the introduction tutorials.

Learn how to sketch first then model and give up on the primitive shapes if you're going to design anything at all intricate.

Start here tutorial.

Main help sketching.

Don't apologise mate, this wasn't a dumb question as this isn't actually immediately obvious - shame the response you got made you feel that way. Did you ever get to the bottom of this - if so, how, please share?

This might be better explained with your actual geometry.
