Create Forms

[Anonymous]

Up until yesterday the form creation tools were seemingly working fine.
Click the Create Form button, Fusion would go in to Form creation mode (in the Sculpt environment), select the form I wanted to created. It would then create a form as it did in the past, meaning it would show the purple form, with all the t-splines whose parameters I could set.
Now, what is happening is it is creating what appears to be a solid body. I say appears to be because when I hover the mouse over the form it clearly shows the subdivisions are present, all lines, points, come out, but, only when they are hovered over.

I have gone through the preferences many many times and cannot find anything which implies something is turned off.

Like I said, when i first starting using Fusion, it created the forms just as expected, it just seems to have stopped.

I was just creating a T-Spline form by creating faces that I then extruded.  I could only extrude a flat "body" with no thickness and only in one direction.  This is something I was doing a month ago with out any problems so I agree something is amis.  I did notice that when using "Edit Form" the selection of Vertex, Edge, Face, Body, or All are now separated nicely which is new.

Hi @CGPM and @Anonymous,

Could you post a screencast of what you are seeing?  I'm not seeing what you describe in a very simple test.  It seems to work OK for me:

But, if I could see what you are seeing, maybe we could figure out what is going on with your workflow.

thanks,

Jeff

Hey Jeff, Thanks for responding.

Sorry for the response delay on my part, I work nights so ...

Attached is a screen capture of what I am saying. As the image shows, although the faces are present (I highlighted a portion of the form, made it 10x10x10), however, they no longer show as they used to, that being from the time it is drawn. What I see at this point (with none of the form selected) is what appears to be a solid body.

I have reset Fusion, I have reset the computer. I have changed a few of the default settings within fusion, but cannot find anything which relates to T-Splines being hidden or anything like that. I have watched the video you presented, and really didn't even need to see that. It is such a simple process to create the form it is almost to easy. 

Thanks again for the quick response.

You just need to turn on visibility of edges, like that:

Ahh
Funny, but I do not remember even going in there recently.

That has however solved the problem.

Thank you

Hi Jeff,

I just tried to re-create my issue and it now works fine using the identical procedure.  Before when I would select "Extrude" I could then select either of the 3 Direction options.  Once I selected a face the only Direction option was One Side.

Hi @CGPM,

Glad you got your edge display figured out.  What you are seeing with Extrude can be explained.  Extrude in the Sculpt workspace does multiple things.  One is very similar to what the same command does in the Model workspace:  It creates new geometry from a sketch.  However, if you select some existing geometry in a Sculpt body, the Extrude command is used to add new faces to an existing body.  What you saw with the options in Extrude is that second usage:  Extruding one or more faces of an existing body.

Here is a screencast that shows the difference:

Hope this helps clear up the mystery,

Jeff
