Newbie question: Extrude with a fully constrained sketch

Be kind, I do not yet have thousands of hours experience on Fusion 360.

I started following courses on Autodesk and I'm at this one: https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/courses/AP-INTRO-SKETCH-BASICS-CONSTRAINTS

 

At the end of this course I wanted to go further and extrude it to build the camera body but as soon as I extrude one part I lose the plane of the other part. Check attachments M2 or M3. I cannot find the way to extrude the large part, then come back to extrude the smaller part. Maybe I should just not try to do it this way.

Can anyone tell me if what I'm trying to do is just stupid? 😕

When you extrude a part of your sketch the sketch is automatically made invisible. If you go to your browser on the left and open the sketches folder you should see your sketch there and the eye logo next to it. Click on the eye and it will make the sketch visible again and then you can extrude the other part to the length that you want.

Tried that but the sketch still does not appear after extruding the first part.

Try making a sketch with 2 faces in another file and see if it works there. Also, make sure you are choosing the correct sketch and not the folder itself. Otherwise, it must be some sort of software-sided error or glitch because it works for me.

You're right. I was not properly selecting the sketch. It works. Thanks.
