Detail2Body – Fusion 360 Add-in
Extract Surface Details as Separate Bodies
Detail2Body is a powerful Fusion 360 add-in that extracts surface details from solid bodies and converts them into separate Joiner and Cutter bodies.
Perfect for kit-bashing, 3D printing, and design reuse.
What Does It Do?
When you apply features such as fillets, chamfers, or holes to a solid body, they normally become part of that body.
Detail2Body reverses this process by extracting them as separate bodies:
• Joiners — Extracted bodies representing added material
• Cutters — Extracted bodies representing removed material
• Sub-Bodies — Copies of related bodies that are not combined with the source
Build once, use everywhere.
