Tinkercad to Fusio360 export fail

[timYSPZW]

I'm trying to export a very simple round lid from Tinkercad to Fusion360 but it keeps failing saying to try again, I've been trying for 2 days. Must be something I'm doing wrong. I'm using the free version if that matters. Here's a screenshot...

I have never used TinkerCAD.

Isn’t it just a mesh modeler?  Does it have a stl output?

Why not model the geometry natively in Fusion?

[timYSPZW]

It has stl output and yes I can just use F360 but there are some designs I have done on Tinkercad and would like to export it to F360, I figure why reinvent the wheel.

If you model using the basic shapes you can transfer using NURBS surfaces. You are restricted in what transfers and if it's failing you've probably not followed the rules.

@timYSPZW See this post for a bit more info.

It finally exported to F360 after about the 10th try.

There was no solution here other than keep trying until it works, I was doing it correctly the whole time.

this is the singular most frustrating thing about using tinkercad and fusion together. It makes me not want to pay for fusion. It works sometimes, then fails indeterministically - so frustrating, and it looks like no one cares to fix this issue.

If you have Fusion, why use TinkerCAD?

Can you Attach an example file here?

Hi,

If you were doing it correctly all the time then I would strongly suggest that the problem

on this occasion was TinkerCAD failing to create a fusion file, not fusion not being able to

read it. I do feel your pain and frustration.

While TinkerCAD may seem easy to use and you can create some quite intricate and fancy

designs, and create STL file natively, I would transfer the stuff you want and stick to fusion.

Less hassles with transfers and anything TinkerCAD can do Fusion also does plus a great

deal more.

Cheers

Yup i started with tinkercad. Nice so i tried to load in to fusion sucked.

Went to free version of fusion.  Took about a month to get back to where i was in tinkercad
