Fusion
I have been having this issue, and still haven't received a solution. I am trying to make a leather wallet pattern. For every piece of the wallet, I create a new component. I have no sub components. I want to extrude the "right pocket" component, but every time I try to select it either the entire design gets selected or one of the components beneath it are selected. I cannot select just the component that I actually want to extrude. It is as if it has become part of the other components, but I am sure that it is its own component. Someone suggested that it was my order of operations, but I don't understand how that could be because all I did was create new component, draw the sketch, finish sketch, then I try to extrude and fail. I am new to Fusion, so I'm having a hard time. The first photo is the entire design, second is only the component I want to extrude, the last three show how it will only select the components beneath for extrusion instead of the actual one I want to extrude.
Please share you design so others can troubleshot your issue.

hi @Anonymous please see that attached video for the solution (video file in the bottom) - while in the extrude tool - hover with the mouse in anywhere above the relevant sketch, then long press with the mouse click until it opens an options menu and select the sketch from the list - this overrides the click to select sketch that currently forces you to select an overlapping component that is higher in priority for selection - the option menu expands your selection and gives you all the geometries that are available to select behind the mouse click in that area - simply hovering over the options will show you which object/sketch/profile it is referring to
I am guessing you are trying to select the profile from the wrong side. Take a look at the Screencast to see I select the profile from the backside and then use "From Object" to find my Extrusion start plane. Then it is just a matter of selecting the surface you want to start from and enter the material thickness. If you had started your sketch on the surface you wanted to extrude from and Projected your existing profile to it, then you would not have had an issue.
