Breaking Projected Sketch Links

While sketching in Autodesk Fusion 360, you may want to "Project" sketch entities from one sketch, body or component into the current sketch.  This is done with the Project command.  If you want to form a "link" between the current sketch and the projected geometry, make sure there is a check in the indicated box.

But what if you checked the box, projected your sketch and finished your body or component, and then you realize you want to break the projection link, how do you do this?  In my short video, I will show you the method for breaking the projection link on a per sketch entity basis.  I have not found a way to do this for the whole sketch at once in Fusion 360.

 

Autodesk Fusion 360 Silhouette Split

The Silhouette Split tool is probably one of the most misunderstood in Autodesk Fusion 360.  The main feature of this tool is its ability to find the widest point of a model without the creation of a cutting plane.  The tool has three forms, split solid body, split faces only and split shelled body.  If you are splitting bodies, you can either turn off or remove the new body.  If you are splitting faces only, you can use the split line to create unique sketches and surfaces for mold building.  Take a look at my short video and see how this command may work for you.
