Extruding issues

jatNGV77 — Wed, 07 Sep 2016 02:30:17 GMT

I have derived an Iphone from a rectangle. I now wish to make an Iphone case. I can't extrude sections for volume buttons, charging ports etc. as it only gives me the option to create a 'new solid'. A few students in my class are having the same issue, but not all. Please help!! Attached is my file.

When you Delete the faces use the "Select Lump or Void" option in the dialog box, this will then leave the part as a solid so your extrusion cuts will then work.
