Cannot shell body

Anonymous

I am unable to shell the object i am working on. It keeps saying "this operation created an invalid result." I can't seem to find out what is causing this. This side i need to shell is the flat side.

To get an effective and relevant answer to your forum question, you need to attach your model on all questions that relate to a physical file as in your case.  If you do not know how to attach your model, open it in Fusion360, select the File menu and then choose Export and save the .F3D file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section of a reply forum post to attach it.

It has been quite awhile since I ask you to attach your model, are you having difficulty?  You will get a quicker answer if you do since the forum users will not have to try and duplicate your model to give an approximate answer.

Thank you for uploading your model.  The shell function will use the exterior features to create the inside faces.  Since you have a pretty small fillets on the body as well as some pretty sharp edges, you were having difficulty.  You did not say what shell wall thickness you wanted but I used the same wall thickness of your front extrusion for the shell.  The Screencast will explain it better.  Be patient of this one, Fusion 360 has a lot of calculations to do.  Model is attached.
