Section Views Fusion 360

• Half:
  • When the cutting plane crosses through a piece of the drawing view, this is generated.
• Full:
  • When the cutting plane crosses through the full drawing view, this value is generated.
• Aligned:
  • When the cutting plane travels through the full drawing view along two non-parallel planes, this value is generated.
• Offset:
  • When the cutting plane bends to display features that do not fall along a straight section line, this is generated.

How to Emboss Text Fusion 360

• Begin by drawing your solid.
  • Add the embossed text to your solid by selecting a planar face and selecting the text command from the Sketch panel dropdown menu.
• Change the Patch workspace.
  • Select the Extrude command from the Create panel's dropdown menu. This operates like the Extrude command, which you've most likely used in the Model workspace. The Extrude command in the Patch workspace creates a surface body rather than a solid body.
• Choose the profile you wish to extrude as the text you produced.
  • For the extrude distance, you can either use the arrow to alter the distance or select All from the Extents heading in the dialog box.
• Use the newly produced surface bodies to split the part's face.
  • Select Split Face from the Modify panel's dropdown menu. Select any face from which the text will emboss to split the Faces.
  • In the browser, expand the Bodies folder. When you do, you'll see a list of the surface bodies you've just produced. Choose one of these bodies as the Splitting Tool. To speed up the section process, click the first body, hold the shift button, and then click the final surface body in the list. To split the face of your portion, click OK.
• Turn off the visibility for all surface bodies in the Bodies folder.
  • Right-click anywhere on the canvas and select Press Pull from the Marking menu.
  • Choose each of the text's faces as your offset faces. Enter the value you want to extrude these faces at. You can extend the faces by inputting a positive value or cut them by entering a negative value. When you click OK, you should see your embossed text.

1. Adding the typeface to the system fonts is step one.
2. Verify the font is a.ttf file (Fonts need to be.ttf files to work with 3D operations in Fusion 360). To make it work, the file extension must be manually altered if the font is an.otf.
3. Start the computer again.
4. Start Fusion 360 again. 
5. Outcome: You should now be able to view the font in the font dropdown. NOTE: Despite being.ttf files, some fonts might not function properly with Fusion 360. Download the problematic font and email it to the Fusion 360 support staff so they can, if necessary, check with the font’s developers.
