Please help with first project

Anonymous · ‎04-01-2017

I just installed fusion 360 and am working on my first project.

I'm having a problem with extruding.

I'm drawing a sign base that has a pocket in the bottom of it, and it will also have a door.

I have drawn the base and the pocket.

I also need 6 door support features (4 in the corners and 2 on center line)

When I draw the door supports, and then extrude them to the bottom of the pocket, they also "lock" onto the

base surface and then I cannot reduce he height of them (.25) for the door to sit on.

I'm attaching picture to help explain what I'm trying to achieve. bottOM OF SIGN BASE marked up.png

If you can share your model this this is easier to explain. Export as .f3d and attach to next post.
