Extrusion isn't working.

Hi, so when I try to remove some material the top says "selected tools and targets do not intersect" I don't know what this means, can anyone help explain this to me?

    Hi @chloe_chen866, this means that the shape you are extrude removing isn't touching your target part. Your extrude might be facing the wrong direction.

    It's hard to see from this view exactly what is wrong. You could try extruding deeper as well as the negative direction. If you are still having issues, you can share your document and get more specific help.

    Click on those two arrows right next to "blind". This will change the direction of the cut. Or just type a " - " (negative) in front of your depth, like Michael said.
