Creating an Extrude Feature

To create an extrude feature:

Create a sketch. You can use a closed profile sketch or an open profile. For cuts, open profile sketches are only valid for Blind or Through All end conditions

Click one of the extrude tools:

	Extruded Boss/Base	on the Features toolbar, or click Insert > Boss/Base > Extrude
	Extruded Cut	on the Features toolbar, or click Insert > Cut > Extrude
	Extruded Surface	on the Surfaces toolbar, or click Insert > Surface > Extrude

Set the PropertyManager options.
To extrude in both directions from the sketch plane in the PropertyManager, under Direction 1, select Through All - Both Directions. To extrude as a thin feature, set the PropertyManager options in Thin Feature. When you drag the manipulator to set the size, an Instant3D ruler appears so you can set precise values.
