Best way to go about designing attachment for sg90 servo?

Hi,
I wanted to design my own little arm that would mesh perfectly with the tiny plastic gear of an SG90 servo. I got a complete model of it off of the internet, but I couldn't select an area around the gear, so I decided to make my own sketch that perfectly matched the gear profile using a few lines and a circular pattern. But I still couldn't select the area around that sketch for an extrude, because I did the outline of the gear by hand, so it didn't line up perfectly with itself and form a "closed" sketch. So I'm wondering if someone who's more experienced knows of a tool or resource that would make this a simple task.
Thanks!

Also, take a look at the learning center - there are a lot of great introductory videos, even for people new to CAD in general.
