Combine and Offset

Anonymous
Not applicable

When I combine two bodies and choose "cut" and "keep tool" I get the perfect cutout in my target body but how do I add offset that cutout or add clearence/tolerance? I tried using the patch-offset command and then trying to split the main body using the offset as the tool but that didn't work and even if it had that would be extremely clunky and inefficent. I would love any suggestions.Thank You.

Try press/pull. Select all the faces that you want to offset, then make sure to set the type to 'new offset'. Then, set the value of the offset you want.

Hope this works for you, I don't have Fusion in front of me, so I may not have all the names of things correctly.

Thank you for the recomendation but every time I try that the app crashes or it fails. In fact in this picture I wasn't evan able to select all the faces with the push pull tool before the applciation crashed.

No application should ever crash, however, you may want to try fixing these red issues in your timeline. Chances are that crashes are reduced.

TrippyLighting is correct on both counts. Fusion should not crash, and you may have better results if the errors are not there. If you can share the model, we can take a look at it. It would be good to have an example that crashes just on select in Press/Pull.
