yes!

Not all meshes are created equally, so @g-andresen method may, or may not work.
In any case it is often the least preferred method.
If you can share the mesh file or even a screenshot, we can provide much better feedback.

When I convert the mesh to solid I still have all the triangles which is harder to design on to.
That would indeed be the wrong workflow

That would also be the wrong workflow.
What I would do is to create two spheres with the solid modeling tools in Fusion.
Then I'd change to the mesh tab and tesselate the two spheres. Still in the Mesh tab I'd then combine/cut the tesselated spheres with the imported mesh.
Done!

Hi, I tried your suggestion but couldn't get it to work, I still had mesh triangles and not a solid surface to work on so I used the hole command on a point on the surface and that allowed me to roughly cut in the size and depth that I wanted. Thanks for your help.
You did not follow my instructions 😉
If you can provide the model, I can demonstrate it.

Hi, thanks for replying, I copied your video to the letter and the attached file is what I ended up with. Although the end result is good it's not really what I wanted.
The purpose of my video was NOT to do exactly what you need but to convey the concept of how YOU can complete YOUR work. I find your explanations somewhat ambiguous. Please create a pencil/paper sketch of how a cross-section of that recessed glued-in eye in the main body would look like. Snap a picture of it and embed it into a post (you can drag an image from a folder right into a post).
Then I can show you how It can be modeled.

I wish you would just answer the question.
Can you convert a MESH to Solid useing the personal version of Fusion?
Or you could just insert a mesh and try it ?
The only option in the free subscription is the Faceted" version:
Depending on the mesh, however that might not result in what you want, or might not work at all . Not all meshes are created equally.
