Inspire simple geometry creation

Hello,

When sketching, I select 'create new part', then right-click twice, then push-pull face to add thickness to the new part.  Every time I do this, the face that's push/pulled is the previous geometry and not the newly created part.  I feel like I'm missing something really simple...is there a way to select the newly created part without hiding the other geometry?

    Hello,

     

    I always press as the first action 'new part', before I start sketching (flying icon on sketch). Try it please.

    Please check in the Model Browser, if a new part has been created?

    When you finish sketching, no part is selected. Be sure you select the right one.

    It is highlighted and you can select almost any geometry (Solid faces, surfaces and edges of surfaces).

     

    Best Regards,

    Mario

    Hi CJD160,

    i faced the same problem but found a solution. just click the 'transfer sketch' button as shown below and the sketch will be transferred into a new part.

    Best regards,

    Simon
