Sketch problem when imported from Inkscape

[Cad4fish]

I tried several methods for tracing the outline of this image in Inkscape.  I got one that produced a single clear line around the various parts, but the sketch in the tree only includes the "holes" in the image.  Is there a way to invert the sketch to get the horse and rider to be the part produced?  If not is there something I should to differently in Inkscape or when inserting the SVG file?

Hi,

please share the files (f3d and SVG)

f3d:

Hi,

Even at maximum zoom in Fusion, you need the screencast zoom to see how the gap becomes visible.
It was made visible and closed with the Extend tool.

I tried extending the two curves to each other which did not resolve the unconstrained point. 

What is the purpose of the two straight lines you drew?  

Did F360 see the "holes" as the only profile because the outer sketch was not fully constrained leaving those places as the only sketch?

Drawing two lines - Divide and Conquer - 

allows you to find the gap in the outline, you see the shading follow the lines being moved.

There is a hole in the outline somewhere in the white triangle. 

Fully defined, not the same as closed profile.  You can only extrude profiles in solid workspace.

SVG imports are notorious for profile gaps, and Divide and Conquer is the visual method of finding the gap you are looking for.

Moght help….

I think I understand.  When you moved the lines closer and closer together eventually you did not have a closed area (the blue shade went away). 👍

[davebYYPCU]

Yeah, but backwards, you have white open profile, 

drawing lines shows blue shading on the closed side, new lines create more and more blue until you find the hole in the profile.

Might help…..

Guess I didn't word that correctly.  I understood that blue was closed and white was open.
