Fusion 360 - Project to Surface (Do you really need to use this command?)

Exploring how the project to surface command can be used and other alternatives. While the project to surface command is useful in creating complex 3D geometry, it might not be suitable for what you want to achieve.

    OH MY GOD YOU SAVED ME. I'm frustrated with the Emboss feature that mess up my sketch line.Not knowing there's a such simple way to do this! Thank you a lot!

    great explanation. it helped me a lot. i projected two circles onto a curved surface and try to thicken the surface between in between the circles. Obviously patching didn't work. extruding from the curved surface did work. many many thanks...

    The trick is to create a sketch on the cylinder first otherwise you will get an error if you try to project to surface. Thank you for the awesome tutorial.

    So wait, I'm supposed to create a sketch on the cylinder to project a sketch on that same cylinder? how do I sketch on a cylinder first? do I create a plane first bisecting the cylinder to then project on that plane? but then this tutorial makes no sense because it doesn't follow what now we're supposed to do, because this tutorial doesn't include that, so WTFFFFFFF!!!!!!

    Now you can use emboss :)))

    It really depends on what effect you are looking for. Emboss should only be used when you need to wrap the sketch entities. In the case of a straight projection, extrude should still be used.

    Fusion 360 School sure, sure! It’s absolutely different features. But you right, emboss is more for wrapping sketch around the face.

    I have used it in the past for generating a 3D curve for sweeping and performing a pattern on path. But it is also possible to simply use the sketch to create a split line on the face.

    I do the exact same thing and I keep getting "Projecting sketch geometry onto the same sketch is not supported. Please change either the target sketch or the geometry" WTH...Why is Fusion so ret..ded? is like they hire the most incompetent people to design this software.
