Hi All.
I have searched this forum and managed to get this far but now stuck on how to proceed. I projected slot sketch to surface but isnt a profile to perform an extrude on? The projected lines of the curved slot on the face are now control point splines? See picture:
1. Faces of project
2. Slot Profile
Results are as expected the purple sketch object on the faces.
So question is how can on now extrude this into a cut feature? It is not a profile tried making point coincident but get error that it is over constrained.
I cannot use the extrude slot from surface as the slot on the ends cuts all the way through.
TIA!

Here is an example of @g-andresen said would be a good method.

If you want Extrude then you don't need to project. Just set the start to Object and select the surface to extrude from.

Reading your post again I think you want a pocket so as above but into the body.

Just FYI - Profiles in Fusion are only 2D. So, any profile-based commands (Extrude, Revolve, etc) can only consume 2D profiles. However, as @HughesTooling , @jhackney1972 and @g-andresen point out, there are other features that can consume 3D geometry.

Thanks @HughesTooling I tried that my results do not apply the curve and just simply a straight cut like so:
It does however seem to be applied to your face selected or am I not seeing the model correctly?
@rickjohnston Can you share the design? Export as an f3d and attach. If not can you get a screenshot showing the extrude dialog and more of the part. Only thing that stands out is there's a seam in the middle of the area where you want the slot, not sure if that might cause a problem.
