Hello,
I am trying to add a 2mm insulation layer to a 3d busbar that has bents in different 3d dimensions but I can find the tools that serve that purpose.
I tried using the offset and the thicken command but I keep getting the error:
"The body could not be repaired after deleting faces ..."
The first image shows a sample of what I'm try to do and the second image shows the 3d bent busbar that I am trying to add insulation to. I imported the 3d bus bar as an .stl file.
You will get a better and more relevant answer if you attach the model you want to cover. If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section of a forum post to attach it.

What @TheCADWhisperer is telling you is the the input geometry is garbage ( I completely agree) and that is the reason you cannot work with the normal Fusion 360 modeling tools.
.STEP is the right format, assuming that thit actually does not export faceted geometry.
Export the .f3d file and attach it to the next post. It's getting late in this part of the world so I might look at it in the morning.
My recommendation is to redesign the geometry with the native tools in Fusion 360. The input geometry is pretty terrible. even in STEP format. How was this created, to begin with?
