Why not use the sketch then make it internal to the extrude feature?

Cowski,
I can use sketch for extrude but.... ususally in working with surfacing sketch is not used as i see with GM work which i have been working in plastic Interiors design
Thx

Some surfacing designs are easier to create/edit without using sketches. However, since you are making a simple extrude feature and already created the sketch - there is no reason NOT to use it.

Although you would be better off just using the sketch to trim, you dont even need to extrude, just trim along a vector.
