can not get channel to extrude

[crowndroyal]

Hello, 

I am not a F360 master by any means but I am trying to follow along with a youtube video and my channel I am creating is not getting drawn from the top and I can not extrude it.  youtube video here
 It seems to be locked or something or maybe has something to do with those points ? 

can anyone help me fix this ?

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

[jhackney1972]

Please attach your model so the forum users can assist you with your ACTUAL model.  If you do not know how to attach your model, open it in Fusion360, select the File menu and then choose Export and save the .F3D file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section of a reply forum post to attach it.

Yes I can do that as soon as my next project is loaded ( taking forever ) sorry I forgot this step.


EDIT: file is uploaded into origonal post once again sorry.

Your Sketch1 has a very very strange dimension - I doubt the Tutorial used that dimension.

Also you have a white dot where you lost constraints.

Make that white dot Coincident to the vertical line and the horizontal line.

And you are missing a Horizontal constraint on the 127.541185 line.

No dimensions on Sketch2 and two vertical lines where there should only be one.

Was that in the Tutorial?

Sketch3 does not have any dimensions???

To get access to Sketch3 for Extrude,  do a longgg left click to get the Select Other pop-up (this is because your sketch is inside the solid geometry...

[TheCADWhisperer]

Extrude3 is extraneous - you could have simply edited the distance for Extrude1 and make Extrude2 Through All.

The tut is a basic one using just a square stock, I am modifying mine to fit my needs and dimensions but the dimension does seem off it should have been 95.5 mm up from the bottom of the 430 mm. 


as for verticle lines I have no diea why they would even be in there I dont even recall making any. 

as for the 3rd extrude apprently is done that so someone can come back later and edit measurments easier and always have proper spacing from the pocket edge.


right now I am also just trying to get the basic shape of the inside of the case and change dimension to exactly later
( little backwards yes ) 


guess ill just start again, not like theres a whole lot there.
