Hi
I am trying to extrude a face leaving behind patterns or holes.
Sometimes one pattern, others another but most often none extrude.
What am i not doing?

You may be misunderstanding the use of our sketch system. Here you have 4 separate sketches, which look like:
No single one of the sketch faces you've created has all of the polygons on it, so you'll have a lot of trouble creating the extrusion you want.
Instead of creating 4 sketches, you'll want to create this as one sketch, and your extrusion will be easy:
Basically this boils down to: if you want to add entities to an existing sketch, rather than clicking the "sketch" button again, you should double click on the sketch in your feature tree (or right click > edit). This will allow you do edit the existing sketch rather than making a bunch of stacked, unrelated sketches.
