Extrude

A flat sketch pulled to a height: a part with any profile.

How to add

Draw a shape in 2D, right-click and choose "Extrude to 3D…". Or in 3D mode: Parts → Extrude.

Properties

X, Y, Z and rx, ry, rz
Position in metres and rotation in degrees about the axes.

How far the sketch is pulled.

Tips

  • The sketch supports dimensions and constraints, so a part can be defined exactly.
  • An extruded body can be filleted, subtracted from another or assembled into a mechanism.
