Re: Won't allow an extrude
You might've been extrude-adding. The three important variables are direction, type (new/add/remove/intersection), and merge scope. We have logic that will try to set these things intelligently, but it won't do what you want 100% of the time.

Re: Won't allow an extrude
@chris_mcgough... First off, a suggestion...take the training! Looking over your feature tree you are really doing thing the hard way...which can make it frustrating when trying to learn.
The part you're trying to model can be done with just 6 Feature items...your feature tree has 30!

Re: (Not answered) How can I measure the normal distance from a face to a point in an assembly?
This function is not available in assemblies today.

Re: (Not answered) How can I measure the normal distance from a face to a point in an assembly?
Josh, as a workaround I would create a plane (plane point, using your two inputs) and measure parallel distance between face and new plane - then delete plane afterwards if not needed. Not a perfect solution, but should get you there.
Oops, just noticed you were talking about assemblies,above advice is for part studio - but I'm with you, wish they had the "normal to" dimensions included in the measure tool.
Re: (Not answered) How can I measure the normal distance from a face to a point in an assembly?
As long as your surface is planar, it works exactly as desribed above: Click on face, klick on point, click on measure tape and read the distance value in direction of surface normal (Z). Pic below was taken in the assy.

Hi Josh
Just click on the two entities you want to measure the distance from. in the bottom right there is a small measuring tape. Just click on it and you will receive the different distances.
Hope this helps you out. There is also the Shortcut " [ " for measurements, if you like that more.
