There is more to Extrude than making a 3D model from a sketch. 2
Activate Extrude from the toolbar or with keyboard shortcut E. 3
You can select one or multiple profiles, and you can also choose 4
if you want to Extrude a solid body or a thin Extrude with custom wall thickness 5
and with locations set from either the inside, outside, 6
or center. 7
The default setting is to start 8
your Extrude Commando from the profile plane, 9
but you can also start with an offset distance from the profile 10
or from another object, such as a construction plane. 11
This gives you great flexibility 12
when you design. 13
It is easy to Extrude in multiple directions, 14
both with custom dimensions and with symmetric settings. 15
Use the measurement 16
settings to select if you want your symmetric Extrude 17
distance to be valid for the whole length, or for the half length. 18
For example, 19
do you want the distance 200mm on each side or a total of 200mm, 20
which equals 100mm on each side? 21
You can set a positive or negative taper angle 22
depending on your design goal. 23
And just like the other demonstrated options, this works 24
well with the thin Extrude option as well. 25
Let's create 26
a sketch on a face to demonstrate Operation Type. 27
First, I'll just go back and edit our Extrude feature 28
and turn it into a solid model again. 29
When you drag your sketch upwards, 30
a Join operation is suggested. 31
This new body will be part of your current body. 32
Change to a new body or new component if you want to create this 33
as an individual part. 34
Cut is automatically suggested when you go inside your body, 35
and the red area will be removed in this cut operation. 36
You can cut 37
a specific distance, to an object or through the entire body, 38
including several bodies or components if you have that in your model. 39
You can also flip directions to the other direction, 40
which could be useful in some cases, but not this one. 41
You can also cut with the taper angle 42
Cut Intersect is an interesting commando. 43
It creates a new body from your cut selection and removes 44
the rest of the body. 45
You'll see more from Extrude 46
when you start the first project, but first, see you in the next lesson! 47
Thank you.
