I am trying to reverse engineer a Plastic part to be made out of clear Plexi. It's quite a complex part that has 7 different faces (Top, Front, Bottom, Back, Left, Right, and Inside) and I am completely lost/perplexed. I tried to post additional images to show the item i am trying to create, unfortunately my small image files are not being uploaded. Thanks in advance.

I am trying to create a part from reverse engineering something I want to create in Plexi. The problem I am running into is that my part has complex designs on all 6 faces as well as custom depths on the inside. I will attach a screenshot of my sketch.
This views don't describe a part clearly.

Where are your sketch dimensions?
Is this correct (these lines not colinear)?
Is this a school assignment?
Hi! If I understood your request correctly, I don't think you can simply rely on the 2D sketches and magically create the 3D part. You need to understand the dimensions and the shape in order to apply the appropriate features.
One tip I can offer is to leverage Sketch Block. In this case, you would like to place the sketch geometry on different planes. You can either copy and paste the geometry to a different plane. Or, create sketch blocks from the geometry (right-click on the Sketch ribbon panel -> Show Panel -> check Layout). After that, the sketch blocks can be inserted to any 2D sketch.
Many thanks!
