Extrude from sketch in form mode

is there any direct way to extrude from a sketch in form mode?
Or transform a solid to form without losing the real lines? (tesselation put lines wherever it wants, so i lose the basic geometry to change it as i want in form mode)

Yes.  Form environment does have an Extrude command.

 

You request is not clear, face counts are adjustable.  

Might help….

Thanks i looked for it and found it (extruding on form enviroment), btw i cant do the work around from solid form to spline, if i have a solid body and then i go to form enviroment i cant choose the entire original body i made on solid mode, if i choose a brep face i have the problem that geometry that is proyected in spline mode (usually squares) is not useful for working on the surface of my original geometry.
Example in the pic.
is there any way to proyect the splines just on the margin of the face?
I need to work over that face and only over that face.

Or i need an specific workflow?
Maybe from solid body to mesh and triying to control te automation of faces in brep to mesh?
i dont know if im being clear but specifically what i need to know is if a line (or object made) drawn on solid mode-sketch can be later edited in form enviroment and used as spline to sculpt the body in an specific point.
If so, how do i do it?
Eg. i make a circle in sketch (solid) and i cut a piece of it, then extrude it, make a point in the midle of one of the radius and then go to form mode to make a crease in that specific point...

Thank you very much.

Solid is a body.

Spline is a sketch article.  Sketch articles do not get drawn on solids, but you can use sketch articles to work on solids.

 

That said, I don't know what you want to do.

Nope, I'm not clear. You are asking a question that is too narrow based on a workflow you are imagining.

 

Can you create a paper/pencil drawing/sketch of the shape you want to model?

 

It is often possible to create very similar shapes with T-Spline or Surface modeling. I'd be happy to demonstrate.
