You used to be able to edit a feature like an extrusion. Now you can no longer do that. What is this SketchUp? What is the point of having a parametric modeler if you cant edit the features?!
Did your timeline somehow get turned off? Is it still displayed across the bottom of the screen? You should be able to right click and edit a feature such as an extrusion with no problem if you do.
This is a not so minor peeve of mine but why should it matter if you're in timeline mode or not ? I get that you can't edit history in direct modeling mode, but there are a ton of things that seem perfectly suitable for direct modeling yet mysteriously disappear when you're not using it.
Anything that can work in direct modeling mode should stay and anything that doesn't should still be there in the menus but disabled / greyed out with a nice tooltip to explain why it's unavailable if you hover over it.
I have capture modeling history checked. I find this particularly annoying when I have to create a part based on outside model (STEP IGES). When I create a new component and save it I get no modeling history for any features. I now have wound up with several parts that have no design history and even sketches that were used to create features are not linked to the feature itself and are uneditable through double clicking the feature, I have to go back and direct edit them to create the changes I need. Why is Fusion so much different than Inventor? I used Inventor for years and was able to keep deisgn history on imported parts, granted only the edits that I did to them but nonetheless recorded.
It seems to do this with imported models. I noticed the same thing when I import DXF files.
You have to right click at the top of the browser and turn on "Capture Design History" there, not just within preferences.
The problem I have found is that you can never go back and edit whatever you imported as it becomes your "Base Feature." So for instance I imported a DXF from a model I created in Geomagic. Once I turn on capture design history I can no longer refine that sketch that was imported. I've found a work around that works for a sketch, but if the same thing were to happen for a model I don't think it would work. Though maybe IGES/STP work differently than imported sketches.
KUDOS to you sir, its stupid that you have to go select this manually, even when your prederences are set to capture design hisrtory, and from an obscure menu but thank you.
What @damincin posted is correct. When you import a model Fusion puts you into Direct modeling mode and not parametric. The reason for this is direct modeling allows you to edit models without having history, as the case with imported data. If there is a hole that you do not want, simply select the hole and press delete or use press pull to change the size. These are things that are painful to do in parametric modeling with imported data. If you would like to parametrically edit the model turn on "capture design history". The reason why @nick.prsha you do have this option in Inventor is due to the fact that Inventor does not have the ability to do direct modeling.
