7.6.2.8. Advanced Extrude/Cut Methods

7.6.2.8.3. Up to Area

Extrude up to the selected area . [Extrude up to the selected face.]

The Method " [To face] Extrude to Face [To face] " extrudes a sketch up to a selected face.

	Note
	Unlike the "First" [To first] method, only a single face is allowed (no adjacent or contiguous faces).

How toHow:

Select "Extrude " or " Cut " in Sketch.
Select the "To Area [To face]" method.
Now you must select a target area. You can select it while "Select New Area" [Select new face] is enabled. The first time you open "To Area [To face]," this option is automatically enabled.
→ Now select a surface in the 3D viewport.
The "Select New Face" [Select new face] button is automatically disabled. If you want to select a different face, enable this button again and then select a different face in the 3D pane.
Confirm by clicking OK.
-> In this example, the lower surface was selected.
-> You can already see in the preview that the cut extends all the way to the bottom surface.

Note
To some extent, the various methods overlap. You can also achieve this result using the " Through All [Through all] " method.
