I will start by saying I am learning stage of fusion but could use some help with a project. I have a mesh scan of an object. I am trying to figure out how to make it solid. I have watched a couple tutorials but can't seem to figure it out. Any help would sure be appreciated. the screenshot shows the area I am trying to fill. I have also included the actual mesh file.
Thank You in advance for any help.

That's a pretty bad start into CAD. My recommendation would be to go through the free tutorials Autodesk has created to help new users here:
Meshes are NOT want CAD software (not just Fusion but any CAD software) uses to represent 3D geometry.
CAD software uses analytic geometry and NUBS surfaces usually stitched into a BRep to represent geometry.
As such you will find that meshes can be difficult to work with in Fusion.
That is particularly the case if you want to make it a solid body and work with it with Fusion's native solid modeling tools.
Once you have this "filled id" what do you want to do with the model?
Are you using a paid, or a free subscription?
The paid subscription allows you to use the Organic mesh conversion, which would work well for this part.
The attached model shows the workflow.
If you use a free subscription, you can use a similar workflow in Autodesk Meshmixer, which is designed to work directly with triangulated meshes.
