Hi @Anonymous,

I'm assuming that this is in regards to your other post? I'm just curious as to what your end goal is here. I know that you wanted to created a T-Spline model from your mesh, with which you were successful, but now you are trying to bring it into Inventor? If you would like to edit your T-Splines, my best suggestion would be to leave it locally in Fusion 360. Also, one suggestion I do have if you are trying to pull the model into Inventor is create a BRep of the model. This will turn your mesh into surfaces, which can then be successfully exported from Fusion and imported into Inventor. I guess this is really a question of what you want in this scenario, either a T-Spline model or a Surface model. If you are trying to make soft edits to the mesh, then you will want to work with the T-Spline you created. If you want to try and create a solid from what looks like a 123D Catch project, your best bet is to start with the surfaces. 

I created a screencast below showing how to do this: NOTE: In order to complete this step there needs to be less than 10k triangles.

Hopefully this helps and hopefully other users will chime in as well. Mesh conversion is a tricky beast and every user has different methods as to how they hope to accomplish their goal. Personally, what I wrote above is how I would go about it. Please let me know if this clears it up for you. If not, let me know and I would be more than happy to keep helping! 

PS This is a really neat looking project by the way!

Thanks,

thank you so much  james you saved a life again 😉

Actually my problem was about topology i wanted to creat and modify something on it so i  click model section on fusion but i had eror about topology. I didnt know the way you told me.

Actually my main goal is turn this object on a really motorbike on programme, ok  ther are many tutorial but almost all the same make people only making something on faces or animals on kind of this programmes or the indstruial tutrials are so weak there is no tutorial about this kind of industrial things. so thats why im trying every way.

Dont be suprised if you see my question about nurb faces in 2 days. 😛
