How: optionally select a surface to attach the sketch to, then create the sketch, close it and you will have the option to either "Pad" (add 3D-object outline attached to the surface) or create a sketch-defined hole in the previously selected surface.Īnd "optionally" above means that you can start a new 3D object by simply creating sketch from scratch.įor least amount of trouble keep sketches as simple as possible. Now, to get further you need to switch back to the /Tasks\ tab and click close.Ī FreeCAD Sketch is just two dimensions, so for addition of ONE feature at a time. To get to grips with what you have done/where you are: Click /Model\ just above Close and you should see a the text "Pad".Ĭlick on "Pad" and press the space bar and your sketch will show up WITHOUT the part you created with it. From the image I reckon you have done the "pad" of the sketch and then re-entered into editing the same sketch.
