Extruding 3D Sketches
Extruding 3D Sketches
(OP)
Hi
I was wondering whether anyone knows how to extrude a 3d sketch, or extrude a 3d curve.
Basically, I have imported a curve using a .txt file and have converted it into a pseudo-profile by converting entities into a 3d sketch. However, now I cannot extrude this profile.
If you know how to do this, your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

RE: Extruding 3D Sketches
This may seem cumbersome. However, I find it useful to use this method in order to keep 3D curves available for reference in other features as needed.
RE: Extruding 3D Sketches
I found another way too:
You can use the loft command instead by offsetting the 3d curves by the desired extrusion length with straight (default) guide curves.
Not sure how this would work for extrude-cut sequences, but at least it works for simple extrusions.
