Question.


Is there a way to externalize sketch feature when it is created using sketch section of extrude?

Solution

The modeling preferences only controls the behavior when the sketch is not created via section.
If you create sketch and then extrude as two independent steps, then we have a choice to make the sketch go internal or stay external.


If we create extrude and then sketch via the section, it stays internal and there is no preference to change this default behavior.
We should select extrude from part navigator, and right click and pick Make Sketch External.
