Hy , I am having problem getting a sketch to extrude , Circles in main sketch are selected and they will extrude but main area will not "Select so that I can extrude it , It's as if the lines are not connected and area is open instead of closed .

I appreciate any help.

Is the sketch 2D (planar) or is it 3D?

Can you File>Export and then attach the *.f3d file here?

 

What happens if you start a new sketch on a workplane and Project the geometry into a new sketch.  Does then new sketch Extrude?

The fact that the profile's not shaded means it's not a closed profile, there an app here that might help.

Edit I did a thread here with some more tips on finding breaks in profiles.

Worked great . I was able to zoom in on areas app highlighted and locate breaks in outline and then close them.

 

Thanks for your help

I am having a similar problem.  Can someone take a look at my  video http://autode.sk/2itbt9l  and recommend what I should do to correct the situation?

 

Thank you.

I your screencast it looks like all the curves are construction curves, you need to edit the sketch and convert them in to normal curves.

Hello Mark:

 

Thank you for your help.  You have helped get closer than I ever have been! 🙂

 

Now that I have the construction lines corrected (see the video below) I can not select on it from the other body to push/ pull.

 

Any thoughts would be very helpful.

 

Thanks

Bret C

Is that an opening the profile (red arrow) or simply a glitch in the graphics?

 

Edit the sketch and sketch a line across the profile (green line).

An enclosed area should highlight.

You can find openings by moving the green line around the profile.

Do you have coincident constraints at all of the endpoints?

Thank you for your help and support.

 

I followed your instructions and found that the airfoil was not connected as proved by placing lines over it.

 

Also there must be a basic understanding that I am missing.  I have learned that when I create a shape using the lines tool an enclosed shape is not created unless I enclose the shape in one action

 

A file and video are uploaded.

 

Thank you for the extraordinary help and support.

Hi Bret

 

You do not need to draw all the curves in one go all you need is a closed profile. You can just make sure all endpoints are coincident or just have overlaps. Also have you looked at the links in post #3, there's a link to a sketch checker that shows any open ends and a link that explains how drawing lines across the profile can be used to find breaks if the plugin doesn't find any problems.

Bret, a couple more things I notice looking at your screencast. All the curves are green, this means they are Fixed, did you import the curves as an SVG or did you add the fixed constraint? Either way if you want to move any end points you'll need to select the curves and unfix them.

 

This image shows the bottom end of the sketch is open. Have you gone through any of the exercises in the help because the problems you're having are quite basic things you'd learn from the tutorials.http://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=GUID-4D32F515-A105-42A7-B4B9-20C756F9A7C9
