How to close this surface

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

How can I close the surface where you have the blue lines, it to give me a better CAM output.

You may could try going to the sculpt environment and using fill hole or even edit form and drag one of the faces over to fill the gap.

I would suppress the cut out, but without the detail in the file it is a guess.

Can you File -> Export  the design?

It is a import step file, so I haven't the history

[lichtzeichenanlage]

That's okay. But having the design helps to find solution.

Delete the slot faces, Fusion will repair the model, Save as new version for CAM purposes.

I've tested to solutions

• Delete a surface
• Extrude to object

This is one area where Fusion really kicks ass- here, taking an imported STEP file and confronting the geometry with intelligence.    I'm inclined to tear stuff apart just to see how Fusion will handle it.

Hello all

I got a follow-up question, for learning purposes

This one, I wanted to clean up

I erased one stripe at a time and recreated it with loft (please suggest other ways, if there are any)

it did however leave edges like this - how come and how can I clean it up?

[davebYYPCU]

Bottom Menu, in the window, 

find Display Settings > Visual Style, Select Shaded.

No, I didn't mean the visual style. See these splines seem to be split.

If we take a look at the other curve, it is one single that goes all the way around.

My question is, how do I fix these broken lines. Can I join them? Should I rebuild the surface?

Keep in mind, the model is just fine, but I am asking so to learn Fusion better.

[davebYYPCU]

Without the file, the pictures are not telling me the problem, 

so maybe.....

the middle picture with nothing highlighted, has a problem?

the highlighted edge, is an ingredient of the model, they should chain, and there is a complete loop in one pic, so not sure there is a problem.

It's the same model that was published earlier, and I did this cleaning up.

So look at the bottom side and look for this edge that isn't a perfect loop.

Even though it isn't a problem, my question is how I can fix it so that the line is a perfect loop, like the other lines/edges.

[davebYYPCU]

I can't explain it, other than it is an imported stp file, there is no history.

If you were to Pipe or Sweep along those edges the full loop is recognised, as 2 sections, so I am thinking the loop is not tangent / colinear across those end points.

Selecting one end is normal, highlight is black, double clicking does not chain, unusual.

I suspect that the fill in process at the beginning of the thread, is a contributor.  Zooming into the end points does not look straight, and other loops are 1 piece.  Can be fixed (fiddly) by deleting and replacing the dish, if need be.
