How To Make A Lid Using A Face

daniel_lowther

Hi,

I want to make a lid using the highlighted face however can't find the correct setting or documentation on how to do this. I don't want to have to trace out all the walls again I just want to be able to copy the face. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Kind Regards,
Dan

Satart a new sketch on the face and then use the 'Use' tool. Clicking on the face will select the outer boundary.
You can also use the 'Select' option in the contextual menu (by right clicking) to select loop, tangent connected....... etc. see images below

Another way to make your lid is to select the face of previous extrude with out making a sketch. See extrude 3 and make sure to check new,
