NX7.5 - Modeling technique

NX7.5 - Modeling technique

(OP)
Hi,
I'd like to know how you'd create (other then using the features Extrude 7 and 8) the area in yellow (Extrude7) and green (Extrude8)?
I am asking your opinion since nothing else cross my mind at the moment. Wondering if you can find another option to use just one feature(instead of two, as I used)....
Thanks

Also, I'd like to know if you'd create the whole part in different way than I used.

If your goal is the least number of Features, the Attached model is how I'd do it, at least in NX 7.5. Starting with NX 8.0, I'd have performed a Subtract Boolean when creating each of the Extrude features and then used Pattern Feature to create the 'instances', which would have resulted in ONE less Feature overall.

You can also eliminate a sketch by combining the curves of sketch_002 and sketch_003 into a single sketch, then use the selection rule "region boundary curves" to select only the curves you need for each extrude. If it works in 7.5 I don't know.
