We all know what a nightmare it can be. Seriously \u2013 you used a loft here? Why do you leave your workplanes on!? #fail, right?<\/SPAN><\/P><P style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 15pt;\"><SPAN style=\"color: #706d6f; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10.5pt;\">&nbsp;<\/SPAN><\/P><P style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 15pt;\"><SPAN style=\"color: #706d6f; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10.5pt;\">This is the advantage here with Fusion 360 \u2013 we can work with and without history. You\u2019re not constrained by a history tree \u2013 finding that one feature you need to modify, hitting the ok button hoping for anything other than an error message. Delete is your friend.<\/SPAN><\/P><P style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 15pt;\"><SPAN style=\"color: #706d6f; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10.5pt;\">&nbsp;<\/SPAN><\/P><P style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 15pt;\"><SPAN style=\"color: #706d6f; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10.5pt;\">The next time you&#8217;re struggling to make a change to existing geometry, no matter the source, give this a try, combine it with selection sets and you\u2019ll see why this is a powerful tip.
