Need some help on combining bodies

[leoplazaponte]

Hi Everyone-

I'm new to Fusion 360 and am having some problems constructing an object. I hope my noobness does not get in the way of my explanation. To start, I lofted together the base shape using 2 sketch profiles. I then drew a third shape to cut out a recessed area, then made a patch to fill in the hole that it left. I want to create a fillet on one of the edges, and continue adding additional detail, but since all of these actions created 3 new bodies, I think I need to combine them, but I can't. Using Combine I can't select the target body or do anything. Can someone help me out? I can't seem to figure this one out. Happy to provide additional details if this doesn't make sense. Thanks!

Please attach your model for the best explanation.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section of a forum post to attach it.

Without your model, I cannot be sure but it looks like you are highlighting 3 Surface Bodies in the Browser.  Surface bodies cannot be used with the Combine command.  Please attach your model.

Thanks for the quick reply. Attached is my project file. The bodies I'm referring to are L Ear Puck, Body 39 and Body 40.

First of all this is a model, not a Project.  A Project is the top level container in your Fusion 360 Data Panel.

The three surface bodies have no thickness and they are also separate.  Follow the Screencast to Stitch them together and then Thicken them to a side and thickness of your choice.  Model is attached.
