The Parent to Child hierarchy is as follows:
MODEL > PLANE > MECHANISM > PARTS > (sketch-loop) > (Auto) PROFILE > EXTRUSION or HOLE
There are a number of elements that must 'co-exist' to add Extrusions to model solids. It is helpful to understand the: •Commands that you need to use •Elements that MechDesigner adds to the model for you. |

Command 1 : |
Add sketch-elements to Lines, CAD-Lines, Arcs, Circles to define the shape of a sketch-loop OR Add Polyline to a 2D-Cam or a Gear-Pair |

Sketch-Loops: ...we recognize for you a sketch-loop |

Command 2 : |
➔ |
Add Profile: You select a sketch-element that is one sketch-element in a sketch-loop |
