Hi,
Please show with a screenshot what you want to achieve in the end.
Please share the file.

What is missing from the screenshots I already posted?

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?
Can you reproduce this behavior in a new dummy file?
There will be a work around...This is via delete face but there should be a more elegant way!
how do you use the delete face feature to do that?
Nevermind I figured that part out. My next question is, how do I apply a tangent constraint to two curves. I can do this in onshape but not in Fusion. How can I make this work? This is the same file but on the "e" now. I want to apply a tangent constraint between the two curves at the top left of the e. The one's I've zoomed in on in the screenshot.
All the black and blue fillets in the sketch are already Tangent.
You can't change the purple curves unless you break its link to the source.
You might add modelling fillets to the problem faces.
Might help,,,,
In that example the curve is made tangent to the flat line at the top since I couldn't tangent it to the curve. However that causes the extrusion to fail. In another cad software I was able to solve that extrusion failing by making the curve tangent to the curve as in this example
However I can't get fusion to replicate this behavior.
Should be no failures, in that area, except the purple corner is open.
Blue / black fillet curves must be tangent, and coincident to the endpoints if applicable.
I have an update since the file I posted originally was in disarray from me trying things. As you can see in this file I can't tangent the upper left curve of the e to another curve nearby. I can tangent it to the straight line at the top but if I do that then the -45 degree taper extrusion off that shape fails.
Extrude taper cut was self intersecting, Fusion's biggest no no. Wider profile allows for deeper cut.
The profile was too narrow, and I widened it by 1 mm, put the outside top curve tangent to top line.
Might help....
Thanks, I was able to get something that will work by making things wider. Is there really no way to tangent to a curve in Fusion? That seems like a pretty serious oversight.
You were never going to those 2 curves tangent, the projected one is a spline.
Spline tangency is not implemented.
Serious oversight or known limitation, can't say.
Might help....
It shouldn't be a spline, I don't know how that happened. It works fine if I change it back to an arc. Thanks for catching that.
