By David Melvin, PE, TEDCF Publishing

Confirm That the Files Imported Successfully
When you successfully import a file Inventor automatically converts it to a solid body. When this happens the color of the model is the default model color, which is the gray color you see above. If it’s the translucent orange surface color you may need to use a different format or repair and stitch surfaces to create a solid body.

Open a Fusion Session
Expand the file in the browser and then double click the Solid Body Base. You’ll receive a prompt explaining that you are about to open Fusion so that you can edit the body. Click OK.
