@OceanHydroAU - thank you for the very complete bug report.  We'll look into this.  Having the design + screencast is very helpful.  More info when we have it.

Just FYI - the Fusion bug is FUS-75024.  Fusion should not crash, definitely.

It is worth pointing out that this face pattern would not succeed - the selected faces do not connect with the rest of the model.  I was able to make Body Pattern work for this model, FWIW.

Thanks!  - yes - this wasn't a serious operation I was doing, I just wanted a quick screenshot, but I did recognize that a crash isn't good, even if the user is doing dumb things:-)

The actual project places the blades in an arrangement such that my FFF printer can build all 3 in one go, with them each supporting one another for the print.  It actually worked out extremely well - too well in fact - it spun so fast that the print ripped itself apart (my fault - I pick an unsuitable RPM for PLA, LOL)....

the working output (before self-destruction) is here:  https://youtu.be/_VYOE5AHHqA

Good.  Yes, appreciate the time you took to report this.  Yes, no matter if the operation is not going to succeed, crashing is not a good result, so we definitely will investigate.

That result looks great!  Nice to see it in action. even if the prototype didn't survive...
