Can't build solid

[Anonymous]

I don't know what happened but I can't get this sketch to extrude. Sketch doctor says there's multiple uneccesary points but I can't seem to remove them.

It is because of the pattern you made.
Inventor doesn't automatically connect the end points when making a pattern like that.
To fix it, you can expand the pattern dialog and uncheck the "Associative" checkbox.
Then you'll be able to connect all the endpoints and close the loop.

You'll have to apply some constraints to reduce the amount of dimensions you need to fully constrain the sketch, your example wasn't dimensioned or constrained at all...

Thank you! There were no dimensions because I kept getting a message that it was over constrained
