How can I extrude all these different part of my sketch at different heights

Every time I try to extrude an individual surface the rest of my sketch disappears. I can't seem to figure out how to extrude different details in my sketch to different heights.

he default behavior of F360 is, that the skatch will be hiden after you extrude an body from it. You can open your sketch drawer, click the (now gray) light bulb that than switches to yellow and you can extrude the next body.

If you don't like the default behavior you can change it by unchecking "Preferences -> General -> Design -> Auto hide sketch on creation"

Hi @Anonymous,

 

You can do it one of two ways.

 

1. Separate the entities into different sketches.

2. If you want to keep it all in a single sketch, then select everything (or all entities that go to one of the heights you need) in the sketch for your first feature.  If the "Autohide sketch on feature creation" is enabled in your preferences, then the sketch will be consumed by the first feature.  Go to your sketch node in the browser and click the light bulb to show it again.  Select other entities as you need from the same sketch and create separate features for each selection.

 

If the above is not clear, let me know, I can post a screencast.

 

Best regards,

Sanjay Jayabal.
