Hi Tref-Het -
I've tried to duplicate what I think you are describing, but I get no errors. Can you create a screencast or video, please?
I believe that error can also occur when you create geometries that have a thickness of zero - but I am not sure. (think two corners that just touch one another at the line on their edges.)

Accepted solution
agreed that this should work. I created FUS-70507 to track this. The workaround, you already discovered, is to do the extrude in more than one feature.

Thanks for this, and for the model. I watched it, played with it a bunch, and can confirm what you see. The model itself seems a bit strange to me....the sketch you work with here blinks on and off in my graphics window. This is not normal behavior for my machine. I was thinking that there might be some issue with this particular model.
I tried to figure out how the model was built. I was not able to figure out all the steps - but I could find no reason for the sketches to be flickering and no obvious corruption of the file.
As a last test - I built a small test file, very similar to yours using just a few basic sketches. In this file - the same issue was present. I can create a singular element, but multiple elements do not work. So there does indeed appear to be some underlying issue.
As a side note - I was able to create 2 elements in your model at once, but not 3 or 4. In my model, I was unable to create more than one. I don't know if this has any relevance for the issue, but just in case, I thought I'd mention it.
Thanks for your help in tracking this down. Hopefully we can eventually get it figured out and fixed. I hope the workaround is OK for now....

One other thing:
You might wish to consider (in general) not doing all four of these elements in a single sketch. You could also just do one (and only have one sketched circle) - and then just pattern the bodies that are created (or the feature).
This is because sketches are resource-intensive. Having simple sketches will improve performance of the software a lot. So, a simple sketch, and a pattern of the bodies created by that sketch, is a lot better than a sketch with many elements that creates several bodies in one go.
In this case - the sketch is not at all complicated. I don't envision any kinds of problems - but its best practice, so I thought I'd let you know.
On the other hand - the FIRST sketch in the part IS quite complicated. Breaking this up - if possible - would probably be a good idea. Its not critical in this case though.
Oh - and to be clear - what I am talking about here has nothing to do with the issue you found. Its just additional info for you.
