Description

The SheetMetal Extrude tool extends a sheet metal face.

Usage

To Extend the face:

1. Start with a base plate or sheet, select a thin face representing the thickness of the metal sheet
2. Click on the Extrude tool to extend the face.

Note: The workbench does not have a tool to create a base plate, so you need to start your model with one of the following methods:

• Method 1: Part Cube
• Method 2: An extruded solid made with Part Extrude from either a:

• Draft Rectangle or a
• Draft Wire or a
• Sketch

• Method 3: PartDesign Body containing either an

• additive box or a
• PartDesign Pad made from a Sketch.

If you start with a PartDesign Body, you can mix Sheet Metal features with PartDesign features such as pockets or holes.

Note: In an extension operation, set Refine = true.
