If you look at the below image it is a ball and socket joint. I am trying to measure the distance of the ball to the socket (the tolerence) to get a nice snug fit. As you can see, when I used the tool it picked a point which was was behind the right side point (when the view was aligned), then when I rotated my view I got the view you see above. I cannot change the mesh, I bought it online and it's been imported so I have to make do with this limitation.
I have found this happens a lot with imported meshes as there are so many points on the model and it doesn't seem to be smart about how it selects them - it just picks whatever point is closest to the cursor even if that point is far off in the distance.
Important: the image you see above is from using the cross section analysis tool. Is there anyway to tell Fusion to show a "slice" (from both sides) of that cross section rather than it being sliced and showing the whole back end of the 3d model?
Here is what I tried whilst using the cross section tool:
- Keep it as a mesh - it still selects points behind.
- Convert to solid - same issue
- view in Wireframe and other views to try to select the exact points - same issue
I would have thought that when using a section analsis tool, that Fusion would be smart enough to know that when measuring, you only want to select points in that plane. Surely you can do this??
thanks,
