Re: Problem w Boss Extruding a Part
Jeremy Grigsby Feb 8, 2018 1:43 PM (in response to Russell Waseem)Open the sketch and right click. Choose select chain and then click towards the top of the profile. You'll see it selects everything but a section on the bottom right. Zoom into the area where the selection stops and you will see that the endpoints are not coincident in two areas. As soon as you make the problem endpoints coincident, you should see the sketch turn blue. I am using 2018, but i believe the sketch shading color has been around since 2006. Either way, once you complete the broken profile, you should be able to extrude.

Glenn Schroeder Feb 8, 2018 2:30 PM (in response to Russell Waseem)For the future, instead of trying to do that all in one sketch you might model one section of it first, then finish with a circular pattern (7 instances in this case).

Dwight Livingston Feb 8, 2018 2:44 PM (in response to Glenn Schroeder)Yes, what Glenn said. In fact, I'd model half a section, mirror it, then make the circular pattern.

David Nelson Feb 8, 2018 2:48 PM (in response to Dwight Livingston)Add in I would start it on the Origin that would make it a lot easier to fully define your sketch.

Russell Waseem Feb 8, 2018 2:52 PM (in response to Russell Waseem)I am aware of those methods, I just jumped the bridge and converted the 2D autocad drawing to solidworks entities which is why all I had to do was extrude the part..
