Patch Surfaces to Solid Body

How can I make the patch-body to a model-body? I want to extrude the body. I have tried "boundary fill" in patch mode, but nothing appear when i try to select "select cells".

How can I fix this?

Are you referring to Body21(1)?

Extrude only works for flat sketch or body profiles.

 

I think you can Thicken that body to make it solid, depending on the thickness you may be looking for.

 

Might help....

yes, i mean Body21(1). 

I have now tried the Thicken command. But fusion 360 hates it. The program freeze.

It worked after a while to set the thikness to 1 cm but, if I set it to 40 cm the program crash...mask1.jpg

A Patch with 52 edges....  Good luck with that

 

Fusion works hard, but worked at 2cm for me, your patch surface has 52 edges,  might fail, but set the command going, and make a coffee while you wait, if you interrupt the command, then yes it might crash.

It worked for me too after a while.


Is it a way to reduce the number of edges? This will make the whole process much faster and the project easier to work with

I would use your imported triangular faceted planar geometry only as reference in creating proper geometry from scratch.
