Simple model, but now I can't add a sketch and extrude it

[don.fief]

I have a very simple phone holder I modeled, and 3d printed.  Now I want to add to it.  I select the face I want to add a sketch to, and create a new rectangle.  I click finish sketch, and the sketch does not show on the face.  What am I doing wrong?  I created it a month ago, and have tried several times to edit it.  This is getting frustrating.

Thank you!

Without a screenshot (in which your timeline and expanded browser is visible) and preferably your file it's hard to tell. If possible please export to *.f3d and share here.

Sorry.  Here you go.

In one screenshot, you can see the small rectangle sketch on the bottom right of the model.  The next shot is after I hit 'finish sketch'.  I can't see the new sketch.

Hi,

Turn on sketch visibility

Press down arrow on sketches folder 

turn in the Eyeball for the sketch needed.

Might help....

Sorry, it IS on for that sketch...

I watched you animation, and fixed it!  I didn't know that the visibility for ALL sketches, as well as the one for the sketch in question needed to be on.  Thank you!

You are one of those modelers that turn off the visibility of the Sketch Folder instead of just the sketches you do not want to see.  I believe you have the Folder Visibility off and do not realize it.

Yip, that was it!  Thank you!
