Redefining the value of an extrusion instead of starting back from the sketch

Anonymous — Fri, 22 Oct 2021 14:23:50 GMT

Hi there,

I am new to Fusion and I was wondering: Is it possible to say change the given value for an extrusion, e.g. 10mm and set it to a variable X for example without having to start back from the sketch?

I saw that with pull you can add or subtract from the current extrusion, but that is not what I want...

Cheers!

create a user parameter, edit the extrude, type in the parameter name to the distance. I'll do a quick screencast to illustrate

if you haven't yet done the extrude, you can do this at the time you make the extrusion, by typing in a new parameter name in the distance field:
