Combining sketches?

Anonymous — Fri, 01 Dec 2017 09:50:13 GMT

Hello,

I am just starting out with Fusion360. I have very limited knowledge, I've watched lots of videos and have been successful extruding basic drawings and shapes. I have searched for hours now and cannot find the answer. I drew a more detailed drawing on one plane that has a total of 6 sketches. I wish to now extrude several sections at different thicknesses but am running into a problem where cannot select specific pieces of my drawing to extrude because when I try to, a larger section with multiple areas are selected. how do I join everything in my drawing so I can extrude each section individually. I hope I'm making sense.

Thank you!

Welcome to the community!

Although there are a lot of similarities, this is the Inventor forum.
You can find the Fusion360 forum here:

It'll probably help a lot if you can provide a screenshot of your issue.
It sounds like your sketches aren't fully defined in the regions that you wish to extrude, but it's hard to tell without seeing what you're working on.

Thank you for directing me to the proper forum. I was wondering why the logo was different....LOL

Hi! I am not an expert in F360. But, in Inventor, you will need to either the already consumed sketch visible or share it.

Many thanks!
