Extrude problem with Artisan or not?
-
I've been following Adam's excellent Youtube tutorial (a big THANKS!) and attempting to make a model of this car. Yesterday I was able to extrude but in the afternoon when reworking something, began to have problems with it. I'm not certain if it's due to my inexperience or the program got buggy. This morning I can only extrude backwards. Also, I've been unable to enter the dimension and extrude automatically. Actually it did only once in numerous attempts. Artisan should work well for cars and I encourage others to join in and add their experiences and critiques. My goal with this is to 3D print this and build it as a 1/24th scale model. Thanks for your help. Pico

Hello, I am not familiar with the tutorial you are referring to, but one thing that might be confusing you is that the Artisan extrude tool only works in the direction of the front-face. You might want to reverse your faces (right-click on a face) if you are getting unexpected results. I tried extruding the face in your attached file and it worked fine for me.
Sorry if I'm misunderstanding the issue.

I've downloaded from my above post and was not able to extrude from it. The video is "Wheel Pant- Sketchup Artisan Tutorial". I've continued to work on this and I have found that its seems each time I try the extrude only works three or four times and works better extruding behind the image plane than in front of it. Sometimes I click on it and attempt to pull it out, nothing happens, although the numbers in the lower right box increase, then I let off and the icon moves back and it extrudes out the back. I have found by closing and redownloading I sometimes can have enough success with the front extruding and here is what I was able to do today. It's a bit of progress and I'm beginning to feel as if I might be able to get this after all.
