Profile/Surface
The Selection text box indicates the sketch used to create the pad. If no sketch geometry exists, click Sketcher in the dialog to

create the geometry on a face or plane. You can also edit existing sketches with this selection. You can pick open profiles as long as the

existing geometry can trim the resulting pad. You can extrude multiple profiles as long as they don't intersect.
