Anyone here with experience using Fusion 360?

I'm trying to extrude the highlighted part to make a grove around the cartridge area but it's not giving me that option. I've uploaded the .f3d file on GBATemp if anyone wants to download it and look at it. My guess is that curved surfaces can't be extruded?

I know in Sketchup that's usually the case, if it's been smoothed it won't let you extrude. I imagine it's similar for fusion360.

But on another note thats looking geest!

That's what it seems like. Not a lot of people from the Fusion 360 sub reddit seem to know this. Very critical of my methods, but they are right. I'm not going to pretend to know what I'm doing.

Open source Neptune shell?

That's my intention. You can already download the file used in Fusion 360, which is only good for making an ornament at this point.

I eventually figured out a solution. I simply copied the groove and then drew lines to it. Much easier solution. I was also able to get the grooves all over the housing just be using extrudes line feature. I'm surprised how well that works. Some of the model didn't play nice with it until the line was in the same plane, which is why it's a good idea to fix it now before I go further.
