I am a beginner at this and during the course of learning through videos, forums practice, I havent yet been able to fully complete a project beyond the point Im at in the attached file. This seems to be my preferred Dead End. Any actions I take beyond this stage ultimately lead me down a rabbit hole on off the cliff into the abyss. Similar to quick sand , the more I orbit around, and go off into a frenzied "clicking at anything to fix it" the further down I sink.

Assistance with this solution is appreciated as I believe it will enlighten me on understanding a Fundamental that I missed that day in class.

Thank you in advance.

Your first sketch is not fully defined.

This dimension does not make logical sense.

I think you intended a aligned dimension of 33.

Was the Desing Intent for this arc to be Tangent?

Are you following a Tutorial for this?

If yes, what is the url?

 

Are there any unresolved issues highlighted in your Timeline?

Does Ctrl b (CMD b on Mac) return any issues?

We would love to help you, but you wrote 5 rhetorical sentences about how you can't cope and 0 substantive sentences about the problem you encountered.

To show you the way, we must first know your purpose.

Sketch2 is missing dimensions and I would have modeled with symmetry about the Origin if it were my design.

What is the purpose of Sketches 3-9?

 

 

Sketch10 only has one dimension and that one dimension does not make logical sense?

I suggest finding a new source of instruction on using Fusion (or any CAD),

 

What is the purpose of Extrude4 (why not simply edit Extrude3 distance)?

Would you like to learn how to do this correctly with step-by-step instructions?

 

Edit: I just read your other thread Editing in general. Move/Copy specically - Autodesk Community

You probably should have picked an easier first project, but what exactly are you attempting to model (I have a general idea it is a hand grip of some sort, but do you have an image of something similar to your Design Intent that already exists in the real world?

 

While I await your response, I did a little work on cleaning up the sketches.

lofts frequently don't behave well when you combine straight sections with curved sections, and when you have hard non-tangent transitions between curves.

 

to make this object, over build the primary shape (red), and then cut out the areas where you see hard edges (green).
