How to highlight (turn on) 3D model on the drawing

Anonymous

Hi there, I am still a beginner in Autodesk Fusion 360 and I would like to ask you for some tips on how to solve the following problem.

I need to turn on (highlight or simply make visible) the 3D models on the drawing (please see the attached print-screen No.1  - there are only the shadows of the 3D models, the goal is to have the models clearly displayed as it is drawn, for example, on the print screen No.2). Normally I could do so by clicking on the icon Bodies on the left side of the screen (in my case the icons Body1 and Body4 respectively, see the print screen No.1, to turn on / off the models). But unfortunately it does not work. I have tried to solve the task also through the icon "Visual Style" located on the bottom of the screen, but unsuccessfully. If you have some suggestions please let me know. Thank you in advance. Best regards, Miroslav

Hi Alessandro,

I have just checked the link, the 3D models are displayed properly, but the same look I would like to achieve also on the 3D drawing. Best regards, Miroslav

Sure. That's the case in the web browser, but if you want I try to understand why this is not the case in Fusion 360 I need to open the model in Fusion 360.

Can you share the file making sure you have enabled the option to download it, as in the image I've posted above?

Thanks!

Hi Miroslav,

For "solving" the problem, you just need to set the opacity for the bodies to 100%.

By the way, this and also the other warnings in the timeline are due probably to the fact that the first one is a sketchless body (not sure how you did that exactly).

I recommend you right click on it and convert to DM. This makes the sketchless body into a base feature.

Here you can find the recovered file and in the video below you can see the steps for getting rid of the warnings.

I hope it helps.

Hi Alessandro,

Could you please tell me how to set different types of lines (in terms of thickness and style) in the following 2D drawing ( https://a360.co/3dNJQ6B )? The file is downloadable. For example, I would like to use thick lines for contours, thinner for dimensions lines, the thinnest for hatches, etc. Also if I wanted to draw the center lines (an axis of the shaft, circle, etc.) manually through the Create Sketch mode I could not find a dashed thin line with dots. Do I have to first create these various lines manually or are they downloadable? Best regards, Miroslav
