Extrusion in a different direction
Extrusion in a different direction
(OP)
Just wondering if a sketch can be extruded in a direction that is not perpendicular to the sketch plane, instead it is inclined at an angle to the sketch plane?

RE: Extrusion in a different direction
The sweep way of doing so would be to create your sweep path, then create your extrusion profile, and select the Keep Normal Constant option of the sweep.

1) Create a plane perpendicular to the direction you want to extrude along & on the side you want to extrude.
2) Start new sketch on that plane & convert the entities of the original sketch onto it.
3) Extrude the new sketch Up to surface & select the original sketch plane.
