Click Rectangle Click and Hold on (0,0) Drag until dimensions appear. Use tab key to switch dimensions (Don’t hit enter until done) Type .75 Tab .75 hit enter
Danger: Can anyone spot the issue with the sketch so far? This happens a lot with our college students.
Double click x-value dimension Change to 1.5 hit enter Click Finish Sketch
Which workspace am I in 2D or 3D? Click extrude Click on the face of the rectangle Change dimension to .75
Extrusion: A process used to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional profile. A material is pushed through a die of the desire cross-section.
