surface fill similarly to pad function
surface fill similarly to pad function
(OP)
The padding function allows to extrude a sketch made of several profiles (such as a circle inside a square for example, hence creating a hole inside the square).
Is there a way to do this similarly but producing a surface?
I know it can be done by filling a surface and then cutting some of the profiles out but it can get quite tidious for complex drawings.
Isn't there a function as easy to use as the 'pad' but that would give zero thickness?
Thanks.

RE: surface fill similarly to pad function
If you want the end face, the only way I could do it was to FILL the square&circle sketch and then split it with a second circle sketch. The FILL said there were two sub-elements (domains), but I couldn't remove one. You might be able to make a FACE, if you have the VOLUME tools
