Extrude join to specific body

[mr.codycole]

This is a feature request, my workflow would be improved by having the ability to choose what body to join when extruding from a sketch (exactly like choosing what bodies to CUT). I've found that currently, the only way to accomplish this is to toggle visibility on bodies I do not wish to join to the extrusion or to extrude as a new body and then use combine.

Give the Emboss command a try.  It will join your sketch to a body behind any number of separate bodies between it and your sketch.  Animated GIF attached.

Thanks for posting this workaround!

Just played with it a bit and wanted to list out a few limitations in case anyone is looking to try this out. 

-New addition must be fully enclosed by selected face or it will be clipped

-New addition will only combine with the selected face. Additional bodies with need an additional combine feature

-No draft feature

-No thin feature

-No ability to offset from the selected surface 

-No ability to extrude in multiple directions

🤞here's hoping for a fully resolved extrude feature for 2024

Agree too, it feels backwords to use the actual workflow. Also is extremely annyoing when you edit a extrusion and suddenly it joins other bodies that are visibile during the edit. To see that this was asked in 2022 and is still not implemented, being a basic behavious... well... ok...

I have the feeling that software design decisions are ruled by let's do it differently instead of by let's use the most efficient solutions. But just in random tools  or implementations.

Hey Fusion.... Still not ?

Extruding is the main thing we do when designing.... we do it ALL THE TIME. And you do not want to add this feature ?
