Scale or move faces, edges, or points by themselves

[Anonymous]

I'm learning Fusion so I thought I'd start by designing a guitar neck since I have several near my desk at any time. I'm familiar with 3d toa  degree -- I can find my way around Blender easily enough.

So I managed to get the profile drawn with Sculpt > Face. Then I thickened it to make the length of the neck. One end of a guitar neck is wider and thicker, so I select all of the faces that are on one end of the body and click Modify > Scale. And it automatically selects every part of the body so it only scales as one unit.

So I figure I have to jump back into Scuplt mode. So I do. Then I select all of the faces on that end of the body, look for a scale or size option anywhere. None. Ok, what next?

I figure I'll select all of the edges one one half and move them over to make it wider. Not ideal since I need to make it taller as well, but I'll worry about that later. I select the edges, Right-Click > Move. It selects everything and I can't move just one face or point or edge.

I did tge same starting with a spline and extruding but i couldnt get that to work either.

How can I do this? It seems like a pretty simple thing to do, so i must be missing something

Hi @Anonymous,

Welcome to Fusion.  You are definitely on the right track.  You do need to scale in Sculpt mode.  Scaling is built into the Edit Form command, with some special manipulator handles in the command.  Here is a screencast showing how to do this.

Also, since you seem to be interested in guitar design, the Fusion community seems to have quite a few of us, myself included.  Just this weekend, I was trying to model a telecaster neck.  Check out some of these other threads:
