Sketch does not Extrude

Sketch does not Extrude

I have a complex sketch that will not Extrude.

 

Even if I edit the sketch to add a circle away from the main drawing the circle will not Extrude.

Nothing is selectable..

 

About 3/4 of the way through drawing the sketch Fusion became very slow. I might have done

something to cause it to get its knickers in a twist and have an invalid sketch that displays

but is useless for anything else.

 

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Check - test - recall making it a 3d sketch, they won't extrude. Try to Redefine Sketch Plane.

Is the shape giving an orange profile?

 

More info the better.

Ah, it probably has bits of 3d sketch in it. I noticed I must have accidently

clicked the 3d sketch tick box, and unticked it, but obviously before I drew a 3d 

piece.

 

How do I redefine the plane?

The whole design is only a complex sketch so far.

There are no 3d pieces yet.

can you share the design?  It could be that there is a gap in the profile, or that you have inadvertently moved some part of it away from the sketch plane, but it's hard to tell without the design itself.

I edited the sketch to add a 2 point circle. It won't extrude either, so while I might not have closed my shapes, that is not

the error, and if I find gaps I know how to close them.

 

I did notice the "3d sketch" tick box was ticked at one point. i must have hit it be accident. I unticked it. However

there are probably 3d lines in the sketch. But how do I find them and delete and replace them? Orbit appears

to show everything in a 2d plane.

Not much wrong in the sketch, didn't look for anything else....

 

In the sketch panel, tick "Show Profile"

Circle and sections of your sketch turn orange.

 

Away you go....
