Brand new to Fusion and I am trying to fill the triangular gaps between cylinders and the plane as shown in the image.  What is the best way to do this?Screenshot 2026-06-21 at 7.38.30 AM.png

Hi

  1. Create sketch
  2. Project circles geomtry
  3. Draw line
  4. Add tangent constraints
  5. Extrude sketch

Can you File>Export your new *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

Your browser shows Sketch6 is unconstrained and also you have two bodies rather than one.

I've attached the .f3d file.  There is 2 bodies because there are two parts, one is  just not shown in the screenshot.  however,  I would like to separate each part into its own file.  Can you elaborate on the unconstrained sketch?
