    We all missed the fact that your board is not a solid part yet. You cannot extrude cut a surface model.

    Greetings Ste_Wilson

    Hey thanks for reading my post. I have successively extrude removed a hole in 3 of the 7 boards I created. The other 4 are giving me this same warning. I think the program just doesn't recognize it in the right way, but I am at a loss as of what to do.

    All the best

    If you can make your doc public and share a link to that then the clever people here will be able to trouble shoot it better. :)

    Though from your screen shot you haven't chosen a merge scope. (red box). The merge scope is just what part do you want to apply this thing to. It doesn't feel like it makes much sense when you only have one part but when you have a multi part model it makes more sense.

    Just click on the red box then click on the board.

    if it’s not what Ste_Wilson suggested. Then you might be running into non manifold error. Use the starting offset option to move the start of the hole above the board.

    It's because you chose Remove option, but did not tell it what to remove from. At the bottom is Merge Scope, pick the surfbaord.

    The Merge scope box is red, so try selecting the part(s) that this remove extrude should affect.

    Do any of you know someone who would be willing to take on this project of 7 surfboards? For hire? I am trying to create prototypes for a game. Like I said 3 of the 7 boards I was successful with. I am in agreement that MDesign hit the nail on the head with the board not being a solid. I can share what I have already.

    Thank you for your time everyone

    All the best
