Needing to keep both the intersect extrude and the base part...

In the original sketch 1 there is a geometric shape that was intended to be extruded and used when the shape of the complete part was final.  The challenge currently is the inability to extrude intersect the compression fitting from the sketch 1 and then retain the complete base part as well as the fitting component.  Not sure if I am explaining correctly.  I need to extrude intersect a sub component and use both parts when complete.  Currently when I finish the extrude intersect function I lose the remaining geometry thus rendering the objective lost.  I know this is a bit of a process determining the sequence, however I thought method would yield the best results.  I may be wrong with that assessment.

    I'm not totally clear what you're looking for, and it seems like that document isn't public/link to view (or at least, permissions are such that I can't see it).

    I might be dense, but I still don't get what you're trying to achieve. Perhaps you should actually do the intersect extrude (that doesn't give you the result you want) in the shared document, so that it is easier to see what you are trying to do?

    And BTW, your document is shared as view only, so no one is able to make a copy of it to experiement/work with.

    If you do the extrude as new, and then a boolean intersect with 'keep tools' checked, does that do what you want

    All sorted out now.  Required a Transform function on the extrude.  Appreciate all the feedback!
