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!
Face split + Press pull = Exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Good stuff, thanks! I like that you cover multiple use cases that many of us face while trying to achieve specific results
I am expected to get 1 solution, instead you gave me a lot of them. You are very good on this! Thanks!🤝🤝🤝
straight to the point instructions and easy to understand explanation. one of the best Fusion 360 channels I've watched.
3:25 this is EXACTLY what I needed, thanks so much!
Wow, your tutorials are amazing. Thank you!
Brilliant, very well explained and easy to follow
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...
Thanks! Big help! Just what I needed after splitting a body.
Dide, thank you for the extrusion trick, other videos where doing so many manipulations to get the same results! Thanks again!
Exactly the explanation I needed, thanks!
Thank you! Learned a lot in this video I didn't know!
Excellent and very detailed explanation. Thank you.
1000 txs! straight to the point! maybe not for newbies.
Great tutorial. Thank you!
excellent explanation! very helpful, thank you!
Extremely helpful, thank you!
Why does your UI look so damn clean? I love how simple it looks compared to what we get out of the box.

That's how the standard interface looks 🤷
Thanks so much, this really helped!
Thank you! Very informative!!
Thank you!
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!!!!!!
Very helpful, thank you
You beautiful man thank you ive been pulling my hair out and you solved my problem within the first minute
this tutotrial is amazing
many thanks
Big thanks! Subscribed :)
Very great tutorials the best on youtube !
Thank you
Thx! 👍
waw thank you SO MUCH
thx
thanks man
Appreciative of the direct approach of your channel. Can you do a video on complex fillets/radii on 3d models , eg lofted/swept shapes produce non planar intersections

Hi, thank you for the suggestion. I will consider this.
HI, excellent tutorial me a lot, I have found on the of my project it would not let me choose the surface on the round body to extrude why would that be?
ah this was recorded back when fusion hated higher resolutions
What if the thing I don't want it to follow the curvature and angles of the cut surface? Like with the cylinder, what if I want to extrude a block out of it?
Hi, can you help me please. I need to sketch on the curved side of a roll. I need to split the curved side to 6 equal parts. My goal is to design a dice roll. What is the best way to do this ? Thank you
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 keep getting Warning: Not support projecting sketch geometry into same sketch, please change the target sketch or geometry. how is this happening?
there's no project include in my create submenu

Hi, could you confirm if you were in sketch mode? You can only access this command in sketch mode. Let me know if this is resolved.
What IS it useful for then?

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.
Thank you!
