Replace face tool

Anonymous

Hey guyz, 

My question is regarding the "Replace Face" tool.

I want a replace face tool like how we have in UG NX. Why do i need to have a surface body to perform a simple replace face command. Why cant i just use a face of the solid body part. 

Its such a tedious work when i need to perform direct editing on imported parts or edit any model. 

I seriously request to allow users to select a face for performing a replace face command. It is very usefull trustme. It is same like in solidworks. And i hate that.

You are not required to use surfaces to perform the Replace Face command in Fusion 360.  You can use solid bodies to perform the command.  Take a look at the Screencast for two examples.

Sir, i got your point thank you for the reply. 

I have another concern that is what if in some case i need to use this command on a single body itself. So in that case i think this wont work. I ll have to offest a surface with zero value and use that for the replace command

If you only have one body, of course you are going to either create a replacement surface or another body.  The Replace Face command works with either solid or surface bodies but by the definition, you must have two of them.

Before you make any other requests, please consider that Simens NX has had 30+ years of development time and you can buy a lifetime worth of Fusion 360 subscription at full price for the upfront cost in the first year of buying  Simens NX license.
