Hello.
I have a Circle on a scketch and a sphere.
So, if the sphere has size A, I need to extrude the Circle "to the objet", so the end of the cylinder would be rouded.
But if the size of the sphere is B, i need to extrude  this circle again "to the object", but to have the ending flat like if i use "profile plane".
Is it possible to make in parameters and configurations?

Can be done without configurations.

 

Set Circle to any size.

 

Extrude to the plane, 

Combine > Cut the sphere from the cylinder.

 

Might help...

As you can see from the picture. If the size of the wall is A, i need extrude to be from Object. But if it's B, it should be also from Object, but with the flat ending and 0.5mm from the outer surface of the ball.

If this were my design - I would not be using Move to locate the feature. 

What is your Design Intent - what are you attempting to model?

Do you have a picture of something similar that already exists in the real world?

Hi,

An extrusion from the object ends with the profile of the object, while an extrusion from the profile (even with offset) always has a flat surface ( perpendicular to the extrusion direction).
