For some odd reason, I wasn\u2019t able to use a sketch I created to make the cutout for the neck. The extrude tool was simply not allowing me to use the\u00a0sketch profile, even when using the long-click &#8216;select other&#8217; tool! It was frustrating to say the least, but I set out to understand the issue more.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s when I remembered something I\u00a0used in the patch workspace that I thought might help; the &#8220;stitch&#8221; command is a bit of a snitch when it comes to\u00a0illustrating where gaps exist. Using this method, I was able to understand WHY the sketch wasn&#8217;t working for my extrude, but while I was there I figured I could use it to make the cut just as easily.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To understand what I did, and how, check out the QUICK TIP below:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"QUICK TIP: Overcome Sketch Problems\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dCEJO8j2bMM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for watching &amp; reading!
