SheetMetal Extrude

Description
The SheetMetal Extrude command extends a sheet metal face.

Usage
To Extend the face:
 * 1) Start with a base plate or sheet, select a thin face representing the thickness of the metal sheet
 * 2) Click on the [[Image:SheetMetal_Extrude.svg|24px]] Extrude tool to extend the face.

Alternatively you can generate a base plate with one of the following methods as well:
 * To create a base plate use a closed 2D outline - preferably a Sketcher_NewSketch.svg Sketch - with the [[Image:SheetMetal_AddBase.svg|24px]] Make Base Wall command.
 * Method 1: Part_Box.svg Part Cube
 * Method 2: An extruded solid made with Part_Extrude.svg Part Extrude from either a:
 * Draft_Rectangle.svg Draft Rectangle or a
 * Draft_Wire.svg Draft Wire or a
 * Sketcher_NewSketch.svg Sketch
 * Method 3: PartDesign_Body.svg PartDesign Body containing either an
 * PartDesign_AdditiveBox.svg additive box or a
 * PartDesign_Pad.svg PartDesign Pad made from a Sketcher_NewSketch.svg Sketch.


 * If you start with a PartDesign_Body.svg PartDesign Body, you can mix Sheet Metal features with PartDesign features such as PartDesign_Pocket.svg pockets or PartDesign_Hole.svg holes.
