Imported SVG creating strange in-plane vertices

So I was working on getting a fairly large svg placed onto my model, so that I could extrude a negative and have some nice aesthetic in my model. While selecting which surfaces to extrude, I got some weird arcing that prevented me from selecting some islands, where it instead pretended that I was selecting the main face when I was really trying to click on the island. Visually it looked like it thought there were a handful of surfaces all in plane with eachother, maybe some of the SVG verticies were trying to connect for some reason? I'm not sure. Anyways, once I had extruded the model and I was outside of sketch view, fusion was trying to apply shadowing to the area that those strange planes were showing up. I saw it occour with multiple, different svg's in about the same region (horizontally, in the top quarter of the part).

 

I generated the SVGs from images using inkscape, using the edge detection to create paths. 

 

It was a little annoying, but not really gamechanging or anything, help would be nice but I'm posting this more as a bug report than anything.

hi highvoltage.maxwell7,

 

and welcome to Fusion. The problem you're experiencing here is with the SVG file itself not how Fusion is handling it.  I'm not sure what controls you have/used in inkscape, but I brought your SVGs into Illustrator and released all the compound paths created in the file, saved and had no problem in Fusion, other than the sketch became a bit slow due to the relative size of the sketch (lots of vertices and lines/arcs in there).  

 

As a general rule SVG files with compound paths, grouped vectors don't translate well into Fusion, so avoiding these in whatever tool your using is advised.

 

hope this helps.

hope this helps,

I've been using Inkscape's bitmap-to-path tool using edge detection, I can't visually tell that there are compound vertices, but I'll see if I can figure out how to get rid of the issues.
