Hi all,
In the attached file, I'm trying to use "SKETCH Middle Hole" to create a cut through the one body in the file. However, when I go to do so, I get the below error message, and I don't understand what it means. Anyone have any advice
?
All help is appreciated, especially with screenshots!
Thanks in advance,
The attachment image.png is no longer available

You're lacking a radius in your symetry

Excuse me, I forgot to adress the error message.
The error message is because you're doing two direction extrudes, so it's telling you that one of it's direction is not crossing any of the bodies.

Even when I uncheck Direction 2 and make sure it's in the right direction, the cut still doesn't execute.
...I apologize, but my screenshot simply will not paste onto this comment for some reason...

You might be trying to paste the image into the Quick Reply window instead of the full editor.

Open up your sketch, add the radius needed that I circled, and then relaunch the extrude feature. It should automatically select the proper direction without you having to toggle anything.
Until you add the missing radius, your profile remains open and cannot create an extruded cut.

I'm having trouble viewing the image you posted about the missing radius because it's such a tiny image. Would you mind providing a verbal description, or better yet, a larger image of the missing radius
?

The forum is having a little temporary issue with images.

If you don't understand the concept of a closed contour, you probably need to spend more time with the tutorials.
Maybe an answer in one of these posts will help.
