Pattern on Path not Working "Object is too complex"

Pattern on Path not Working "Object is too complex"

I am trying to repeat a simple pattern, but Fusion won't copy one of the face sets. If I do it individually, it claims it is too complex to compute and suggests I select less faces. It's literally only two triangles, I don't understand how it's too complex. Pictures below, I have all the appropriate faces selected

Bottom object will not copy via pattern

Error if I try to just copy the bottom object

Here it is. It is the "Angles" ring, in case the other components are there too

I did not see your model.

Why not use a Circular Pattern instead of Pattern on a Path.  You can use full or partial circular pattern as needed.  Model is attached of a partial pattern.

It works as a feature pattern, with the compute type set to "Adjust"

With pattern of any kind, the rule is:  try all the different types.  One of them will probably work.

 

If I were to speculate, the "too complex" error is because of this non-manifold edge:

That can't be manufactured.  But, that is just a guess....

and yes, @jhackney1972 is right - circular pattern is better than pattern on path in this case.  However, it has the same problem.  Circular, also, does work for Feature/Adjust..

Thanks, this fixed it. Idk if that point will work with my 3D printer or not, but the point is to find out

Hi,

Pattern on path is difficult or even impossible to handle if the path is a closed profile.
Therefore, I agree with the  recommendation by @jhackney1972to create a circular pattern.
