Editing a Sculpture
Editing triangulated polygon models already isn't Fusion 360's strongest suit.
The purpose of almost all of the mesh tools is to repair meshes and by some means reverse-engineering them to end up with a solid model. Models that lend themselves to this are usually of mechanical nature and feature a lot of prismatic geometry.
Highly textured models consisting of triangulated high polygon count meshes such as the toad model you provided a link to don't lend themselves to reverse engineering and are not the type of object you want to edit in Fusion 360!

Hallo @TrippyLighting , peter This is exactly what is explained in the film, that it is not necessary to convert every stl, but to modernize it by tessellating volumetric bodies into network bodies and just as easily combining them with revising an existing network model.
you do not go into this novelty - why? greetings mango
Good question 😉
Thanks for pointing out that video!
That video is also a prime example of why I very rarely watch these videos. Like the vast majority of Fusion 360 tutorials and They are so squarely aimed at beginners that I lose my patience 5 minutes into the video.
Explaining the new stuff to an advanced user of CAD and 3D modeling software would take all but 10 minutes, not over an hour (Yawn).
Occasionally that means I miss out on new functionality 😉
I do stand by what I wrote, however. In this instance, Fusion 360 can probably be used. But for many other modifications of triangulated meshes, it is simply not suitable and at his point in time Meshmixer is the better tool.
It's a little bit like going to a steak house and ordering the one vegetarian dish they have on the menu. I'll work but is unlikely to be a very good vegetarian dish 😉
hallo @TrippyLighting - peter actually i want to let it be good and not undermine your opinion any further,
BUT - the video is exactly what you HAVE to know in order to deal with the new network environment properly.
Anyway, thank you for your thoughts on eating where you are right as always. meat at vegan meals!

I always welcome someone to challenge my opinion, that's how we learn.
With the exception of the "merge" mesh bodies, I was aware of all of the other things already as many of them were presented by one of the Developers in an Expert Elite online meeting.
Many of those come from Meshmixer, but you have to know Meshmixer to get a better understanding of what you can do with Fusion 360 and what is better to do In Meshmixer.
I think you misconstrued the comparison I was trying to make, and probably deliberately so.
