Hi, I'm trying to make an extruded cut where that black square is. I need a slight indentation on the top of this object but it only let's me cut out a square all the way through. How can I accomplish this?
If you need any more pictures let me know.

You should be able to use the "Offset" option in the "From" window.

You can use blind, offset from surface, etc. to achieve that.
You have too many contours in your sketch. Turn the other lines to construction geometry (centreline font) and it will allow you to do a blind cut.
Alternatively, cut with the rectangular contour.
Could somebody please post a picture of the contour dialog box, so Micah can see what I talk about? I am using a phone and have no access to SW at this time.
Ok, I see what you're doing. But how did you get the blue rectangle off from the ground? My rectangle is right on the bottom so when I do extrude it cuts from the floor to however high I want it. I can't get it to start the cut from the inside of the object.
Deepak, show him how to change the start condition.
Right at the top of the dialog box, there is the From setting.
Also nice to know that you can start from the top surface and cut in blind. As much as the pocket depth is.
Oohhhhhh, I didn't see that you have to click the button next to offset. Thanks everyone.
