Need help extruding 3D sketches
(OP)
Hello,
I'm trying to create a 3D sketch that is on two different planes. I'm having troubles extruding the sketch like I want. Then end result will be turned into a sheet metal part so that I am able to take the DXF and have it cut. I have specified the direction and still nothing.
I will attach the image to give a better idea, and also the file itself.
In the picture there is a piece that has been created that I ultimately want the 3D sketch to look like, but the process used to create that was quite time consuming, I had to create separate sketches and planes and merge them all together, I think I would be much faster to do it in a 3D sketch, but can't quite get it to turn out how I want.
Thank you.

This is not a good way to create sheetmetal part from 3D sketch in single step. Proceed stepwise. Create planar sheet, then add cuts, bends, flanges, etc. etc.

Little did I looked at your file. The first two elements are OK. With the third will be difficulties. These two lines does not lie in one plane and thus form a twisted surface. From such an area not likely to be in SW create sheetmetal part
