How to create one body per profile in one extrude command?

Hello People of this Great Forum,

 

Of course you can do it one profile at a time but it takes many clicks per profile.  I am trying to speed this up.   I would sometimes have up to 20 profiles to extrude all the to same measurement.

 

See video demo.

Body? Or Component?

What are you modeling?

I suspect that I would use Pattern of Body or Component.

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

Extrude one Body as per beginning of the video.  (1st Body)

Split the Body with sketch lines.

 

Or sketch the three profiles with air gap between them, Extrude will create 3 bodies.

Pattern the duplicates.

 

Might help....

Hi @TheCADWhisperer and @davebYYPCU Thank you for your replies. 

 

I am trying to make these boxes as fast as I can. The boxes are actually represent cabinets and end up being used in a proposal with pricing and this all happens in 30-40 minute meeting.

 

I do these sketches all the time when designing with my clients in Rhino.  I really want to start using Fusion for this but haven't found quick ways to get it done but I determined to make it work.

 

See video demo in rhino, example proposal and f3z file.

Dear @g-andresen

 

I want to thank you directly for making me aware of Thin Extrude Cut. I am using all the time....and it is saving me so much time!

 

Keep up the good work. 🤗
