Fusion 360 has me tearing my hair out...

[Daftlander]

I have these two objects I want to join with a cone. I have tried lofting but I just get an error message with no information of how to fix it. 

 

Any CAD able to help a newbie out?

 

Let me know if there's any more information needed.

If I understand you correctly, you should use 'Combine' to join the two separate bodies into one. Loft should work then.

Just gave that a go. Still throws up the same error message.

I'm not a Fusion 360 - guru and I don't know how to do this the Correct(TM) way, but I can kinda-sorta get the result you're looking for by changing the order of the actions.

 

Here's a clip I recorded:

1. Create a solid cube and a cylinder
2. Move them to where you want them
3. Loft them together
4. Use shell on the cube to hollow out the interior
5. Punch a hole at the bottom of the cylinder

Thanks for the help WereCatf. 

 

I ended up making another box as you said and punching a hole in that. Not quite as elegant as I was going for but I'll report back if it works.
