Sketch in 3D tutorial (by Bill)
Pls refer to the enclosed image.
I want to cut off the volume defined by the white lines.
The volume is enclosed.
Created the sketch in 3D but i am stuck, have no idea how to actually cut it off.
It may not be the right way to go about this but anyway, I have no idea about the 'sketch in 3D' either ...
Nothing about that on https://solvespace.readthedocs.io/en/
The reference says "This is the area that would be swept or extruded or lathed by a subsequent group. " Which makes no sense for I haven't got the faintest clue what the 'subsequent group' means. Do I need to create something? What?
Simply selecting extrude says "Activate a workplane" which, again, makes no sense. What workplain? Guess this just means it's not the way to do it.
So, I am stuck.
What's the right way to do this
and
is there a 'sketch in 3D' tute somewhere?
Many thanks.

In order to make a cut you first have to create a plane on the position where you want the cut to start. To do this select two lines and a point on this plane and then goto New Group and select Sketch in New Workplane (or simply press shift-W). The newly created workplane is selected. Now draw a rectangle that overlaps the surface that you want to cut. Next extrude the rectangle and select difference in the Property Browser on the top-right. Finally draw the rectangle with your mouse in the direction that you want. I've added a simple example to demonstrate this.

Thank you Eric!
