Projecting my lid
Hey folks, newbie here. I have been looking at pages and using the AI agent inside Fusion for all of yesterday. I still don't understand what is happening. I'm trying to create a project box for an Arduino project.
I have a drawing, two components. Box component is the box to hold the electronics. I created it first. I'm having trouble with Lid.
For Lid when I create a new sketch I select the plan that is the upper rim of the box because, the lid goes on top of the box 😄. I add a 2 point rectangle that size set to outer permitter of box (50mmx70xx). I want to extrude it expecting there to be one solid brick above the box. But what I get is an extrusion of the rim. Or, if I select inside the box during the extrude command I get an extrusion of the inner dimension of the box. But no way can I find to just make one big brick the same size as the outer perimeter of the box. I know this must be really simple and it seems like it should be based on all the reading I did but, I can't figure out what I am missing to get it to work. Thanks for any tips you can provide or pointers to tutorials that show how to do this.
