Fusion 360 on Mac: Can Hole and Body Information Be Changed -

[Farzad_K]

Hello.

I am noticing that once I create an extrusion Fusion makes a body and I can no longer access the geometrical information and change them. Same is the case with holes: once made, they are nowhere to be found in the browser so anything about them can be updated.

I am sure there is something I am just not seeing. Model is attached.

Thanks.

Lots of duplicated unnecessary stuff in that file, 

You can snap the hole to the centre of face, in the hole command, 

Left Click Select the item to edit, in browser or timeline, then right Click to edit that item, Edit Feature, takes you back to when it was made and change the stuff in the Dialogue box.

Might help....

I'm not sure what you mean by "I can no longer access the geometrical information and change them".  The replies here show how to edit features, etc.  Is that what you are referring to, or are you asking something else?

Thanks for the note. I had tried [left] clicking on the Body in the Browser and then right-clicking, and I don't see anything about editing the Body's feature. I don't see anything on the hole either.

I don't know if this is about Fusion on Mac or what, but I can just go back to the timeline and do the edit there.

I understand the model is not very efficient as simple as it is.

It was about being able to edit features such as diameter of a hole or thickness of an extrusion. Right-clicking on the Body in question doesn't provide any commands that allows doing that, and based on the reply from someone here I have gone back to the timeline, picked the action, right-clicked on it and sure enough we can edit the features of the item.

Thanks for the note.

Thank you for taking the time.

It looks like rather than actually building a hole in the model using the hole feature you just created a hole by making a sketch, and then mirroring it about the mid-plane. Even though the hole is straight through, and not sophisticated, I wanted to practice with the "hole" feature. And, in your approach, which I am sure is beneficial, we wind up with an extra sketch which can easily be accessed and modified if and when needed.

you can replace the Sketch Extrude/Cut version with the Hole version. Then you mirror the hole instead of the extrusion.

Sounds good, but what is wrong with using the hole feature in the first place?

[davebYYPCU]

There is no right or wrong, if you get to where you need to be.

When I right-click on a feature, in the 3D viewport, I can select "Edit feature".

Are you not seeing this ?

[Farzad_K]

Yes I can, actually. Thanks.
