These fins are supposed to stop at the rim, but one side just keeps going. Is this an error in the source file, or did I do something wrong?
Alternate question: what kinda settings are used in F3D to stop an extrusion at another wall? Or am I overthinking this?
I’ve used Inventor and Fusion360 for small personal projects since 2014. In an instance like this, I would just draw a quick 2d shape off of the front face in your picture and cut it. Sometimes it’s just not worth the time to figure out. Are you modeling professionally?
Might be an issue with the source file and the sketch or other actions they used to make the fins…
Did you get any warnings or errors when you changed the parameters? Are any of the elements in your timeline highlighted in yellow?
There were some errors that popped up and then went away. How does one find the timeline? I can also open the original file fresh and make my param changes again.
The timeline should be at the bottom of the editor window, if you’re in the default design workspace. If you started in the mesh editor workspace then “design history” might be turned off, in which case you wouldn’t have a timeline. It looks like this:

If some of the icons are highlighted in yellow, those have errors, so, things like broken projection links, or missing objects for some operations. You can usually fix those and patch things up.
Edit: oh, sorry, just realized you were working from someone else’s file. That might not have design history turned on. The person who told you how to edit the extrusion operation has the right idea.
Don’t use Fusion, but in most 3d applications that would typically be a Boolean operation to subtract the fins from the circle part.
