Export assembly as one single component

Anonymous

Hello,

 

It is posible to export an assembly as one single component so that the components, that are inside, are not vissible in the browser when the file is imported again?

I want to sent a STEP file to a customer but I dont want to show what parts are inside and what they are called.

Export will bring all the model data, even if you pick a mesh file, you'll still see the geometry.

 

SAT export will turn all components into bodies in a root folder. The bodies will not have names or materials/appearances from the original. File menu > Export > SAT type.

 

  • If you wish to hide geometry, you can open the SAT file and delete things, then export it again.
  • Or copy the original file and remove the components before exporting to SAT.

Thanks for your reply but that is not exactly what I meant.

I do want to show the geometry but I don't want to show all the bodies of which the assembly is created from.
I want to export the whole assembly to one single body and remove all the names and materials/appearances (just like you explained using the SAT format).

Fusion cannot turn disparate blobs into "one body". If it's a separate object, it will be another body.

The closest thing you want is SAT export, why don't you give it a try and see if you like the results?
