How can I extrude crossing lines e.g. from a one stroke drawing or picture

hello,

I am fairly new to Onshape and as part of the learning process I was trying to extrude a drawing using Extrude Thin but it does not work. I used 3 point arcs to copie the drawing but there are crossing lines and I believe that might be the reason why the extrude does not work. Anyone who could help me doing this?

    Correct. I don't think you can do self-intersecting lines for extrude thin, extrude surface, or even sweep. You'll have to divide your design into closed loops or open curves.

    Thanks, for a non-complicated drawing, this might still be feasable…
