Is it possible to create 3D blocks in Autodesk Inventor?

Recently I acquired Inventor 2015 program. The program is amazing but I can't create a 3D block. If anyone knows how to create 3D blocks and then load them into a new file - please give me answer.

iFeature

iPart

iAssembly

iLogic

 

But forget all that for now.

For now you should concentrate on creating a proper sketch

The 'derive' command might also be worth looking into...

And by "3d block" what exactly do you mean?

Here is a "3d block" (part)

From the way you're describing it, it sounds to me like what you're trying to do is to create a part and put it in an assembly?
