Import Surface From one Part into another In Solidworks
Import Surface From one Part into another In Solidworks
(OP)
Does anyone know how to copy a surface from one part then import that surface into another part then extrude a feature offset from the import surface?

I believe you can also select faces to export. I've never done it, but I recall that being an option.

When you insert a part file into an assembly you can then save the assembly as a part file. This will give you 3 options to save the part file
1 - exterior faces (surfaces)
2 - exterior components
3 - all components
you may want to knit a surface (the surface you want to export) in the original part file (before putting it into an assembly) and then delete a solid body before sending it to an assembly.
