Hello, I am trying to export a design I have but whenever I try to export it, it only lets me choose one feature, I tried combing the bodies into a component but that doesn't seem to work..  any help?

 

Like over in my design process column I have 4  bodies total, but can only print one, how can I combine them all to print them?  Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Welcome to the Fusion community! Could you try downloading the STL file from A360? You can access A360 by clicking "Open Details on Web" in the Data Panel. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Hey there!

You can also export it from within Fusion 360 by choosing the top level component.

This way the entire file is selected for export instead of a single component/body

Hope that helps!

That helped thank you very much!  However, I have some hidden pieces under my whole project, will they be printed out after I save as an stl?

 

Thanks!

Glad that helped! Doing a quick test on my end it appears that hidden components/bodies do NOT get exported as STL, only visible goemetry is exported.

Happy Printing!
