Bodies will not combine

[bonner.caleb]

Hi, sorry if this isn't the correct board. I didn't know which one it would go under. I am working on designing a sign off of an SVG. Extruded the base of the sign to create a body. But when I do a second extrusion to raise the walls/edges of this sign and try to join the two I get errors. Something about a coincidence previously not being a coincidence. And when I extrude that second extrusion by itself it work. But when I try to combine them it says general modeling error. Confused as to why it is doing this when a sign I previously made for my nephews worked just fine using the same process.

For the second extrude, go 2 directions, one to create clear overlap into first body.  This will allow Join operation as a bonus.

Might help.

Sorry it took so long to respond, I had work. No time to play with my design/ printer lol. I attached the f3d file, hopefully i did that correctly. I have the two bodies I'm trying to combine extruded, just not combined.

I can't tell you what Fusion doesn't like but if you extrude the image first and then the solid back second, the extrude joins.

Oh really?!? I haven't tried it backwards, well because it seemed backwards lol. I'll give it a shot

'Why the 2nd extrude does not join to the 1st extrude, is unknown, other than imported sketches don't play well in Fusion.

@jeff_strater may be interested in this one.....

I tried it again and it didn't let me extrude it until that bottom piece was a negative extrusion
