If I understand - the main solution is having just two sketches (front and bottom). Then you will have regions to choose when you extrude. You can also use the new part setting in extrude for the cuts; then boolean union the parts. here is an example I did from your document - https://cad.onshape.com/documents/5838cd39df39c110362e0536/w/74a9fc15f3ab611e882ba856/e/9cfda80a9344e2c4cd76228d
Also, in most cases sketches should be fully constrained without using 'fix'. Instead use dimensions and normal constraints. For more information see https://www.onshape.com/videos/dimensions-and-constraintswww.accuratepattern.com5

the problem is that a want to cut the edge 5x5 mm around the curved part to fit a lens inside. When Im trying to make a extrude around the smaller extrude it fills the inside and then its one solid pice aigen.
