hi guys I did a 3d sketch of a part and wanted to extrude this piece 90 degrees from the direction it is show below in the picture attached. I sketched an arrow showing the direction I want to extrude this shape but I dont know if its possible.
I need to extrude it the long way if that makes sense..is it possible to do this? or should I re do my sketch from the proper plane instead?
Thank you!
Varun, I would place the sketch on a plane if at all possible and extrude from there. If for some reason you cannot place this on a plane and it needs to be a 3D sketch you simply need to have a direction (axis) for it to extrude.
You can create this axis by making a sketch on a perpendicular plane and use it for the "Direction" on the extrude. This direction (axis) sketch needs to be before the 3D sketch on the tree or it will not allow you to select it.
