Here it is, Dave's question of the day!
I'm following a tutorial on building a V12 engine (a tutorial with loads of missing info) and once again I find myself stuck.
For some reason, I cannot complete the multi-directional extrusion as explained in step 9. Now the tutorial was done on a SW2012 edition and I'm using SW2016 but I don't think the procedure would change between those editions. Below is a short excerpt from the tutorial showing the few steps leading upto step 9 and I have also attached my model. Step 6 and 7 are complete and step 8 I think might be part of the problem (I don't know) Please tell me where I am going wrong this time?
1. Step 6
open a
sketch under the body and draw this sketch
1. Step 7
extrude
it up to top plane
1. Step 8
open a sketch on the right plane. use convert entities
command
1. Step 9
extrude
the last sketch in two directions. direction 1 is up to body and direction 2up
to purple surface
All very clear as mud!
Dave.
