Can't run the boolean operation !

Hi guys,

I got a strange case I never met before. A simple operation cutting the object A with the object B, it comes error. 

I attached the screenshot and exported cutting file. Thanks.

The problem is this face is coplanar with the other faces, if you can press pull it a small amount it will cut.

Here I pulled the face 1mm, you'd just need to trim the extra away after.

Attached is the design after trimming.

Thanks for the solution. Hope their team can notice and solve such bugs in future. 

I can't complain for what I paid , but the annoying blockers are lots of crashes and issues in a dozen of projects, often blocked by some simple issues like this. I am considering switching to the other software like Rhino, and would like to hear your suggestion.

Are you reporting the problems? I use Fusion to design injection moulds and design 3 of 4 a month for the last five years and hardly use Rhino any more. You might be unlucky and what you're trying to design is not suited to Fusion but this problem with co planar or colinear faces will also make Rhino fail and a lot of other CAD programs as well.

I wouldn't give up on Rhino as it's a bit of a Swiss army knife and if all else fails you can normally fix models with it. For me that's models supplied by customers. For mould design, history in Fusion makes life so much easier and generally Boolean's and fillets work better in Fusion. It's just on some complex models they fail and with effort and skill you can do them in Rhino. Not automatically, you need to work with the surfaces, trim, extend, rebuild etc.

So my suggestion is ask here when you have problems, maybe someone here will have a better workflow or you'll find out that Fusion's not the tool for you!
