Help PLEASE!!!

[Anonymous]

I am somewhat new to Inventor, and for school I need to make a checkerboard. My teacher says he would make a bunch of squares all on a single base, and extrude them all by 1/32, 2/32, and so on, stopping at 8(it is a 8 square by 8 square board). I have had problems extruding just one square, and was wondering if there is an easier way to make this. Please help! I need this done tommorrow morning!

I do not have another computer with autodesk installed, so should I just reinstall it?

You could also check with your classmates whether anyone has the same OS and have the same version Inventor installed.

If no one has same setting as you, then please try to reinstall it.

Thanks,

Hi 2020jhh1,

Here is a quick video showing one method to do this.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

And here's another take on this that is maybe a bit more simple. It uses the combine tool to "inlay" the black squares into the base.
