Hi,
Please can someone kindly help with a way to extrude a solid body from a "wrap" curved surface on a cylindrical body.

RE: Extruding a Solid Body from a "wrap" curve
What are your extruded "From / To" choices ?
A work around below :
"Extract Face" your cylindrical face.
"Thicken sheet" it.
"Trim body" it using your extruded.
"My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."
RE: Extruding a Solid Body from a "wrap" curve
I was looking to extrude from top to bottom, but it came out as shown in the pic like you figured out.
I also tried thicken sheet and that didn't work too.
I'm going to try extract face and trim body to see if these help.
Thanks a lot.

I see replace face (with offset) maybe being utilized here.

These are not NX vocabulary words I expected
In your extrude, you must specify a Start and a End.
For both, it can be a : Value / Until next / Until selected / Until extended ... etc ... etc.
What did you select ?
What is the final shape you'll like to model ?
A bump or a recess on your cylindrical face ? In radial or linear way ? Through the all body ?

* Use Divide Face, then extrude using the "pace edges" as selection rule. This will give parallel sides of the extrusion. draft needs to be applied i a separate feature if that is desired.
* Thicken Sheet will give sides which are normal to the thickened face.
* The Emboss feature, can use the wrapped curves without prep, it allows for multiple draft angles and top-face-options.
* there is also an older colleague to the Emboss called General Boss, which would give similar results.

I am actually looking to model a bump of a certain shape on the surface of a cylinder.
Toost: I'll try your approach and get back, thanks a lot

I remembered wrong name in previous post, it's "General Pad", not "General Boss".
Edit the first sketch change P25 to 0 to see a more orthogonal result.
