FUSION 360 MODELS UPDATE
The latest update doesn’t stop there, with a Reference Objects tool able to create explicit associative references between an external component and other design features in an assembly before starting detailed design work. New options for Symmetry in generative design Netfabb technology sees further integration with its repair tools directly carried over, while there’s the introduction of familiar tools such as Scale, Plane Cut, and Combine, with a useful preview of what they’re able to do, before users commit to the action. The mesh environment now gives meshes a parametric history and face group information, similar to face information for solid models, with actions able to be undone, redone, and edited via the timeline.įusion 360 has also expanded on the ways in which you can convert mesh bodies into usable solid bodies, including options like Faceted conversion, Prismatic conversion (available in paid, startup, and education offerings), and Organic T-Spline conversion (coming soon in the new Design Extension). Traditionally, working with meshes like STL and OBJ files has been disconnected from the CAD world, leading to errors and data loss.įusion 360 has now changed this by providing a history timeline to the mesh edits function, as well as improved conversion options.įusion 360 now offers a ‘seamless interaction’ between solid and mesh models, allowing both to coexist within the same environment, while inserting an STL will also allow users to define the mesh’s units.
FUSION 360 MODELS UPGRADE
Mesh bodies in Fusion 360 have seen the biggest upgrade in the latest release, with the mesh environment graduating from a preview functionality to a persistent tab within the Design workspace.Īutodesk’s Fusion 360 additive manufacturing development group says it has been working on the improvements for over two years, having ‘completely overhauled’ the toolset, improved the performance of how users can edit mesh bodies, and added a selection of new tools to increase flexibility.
