Ensure sketch contours are closed and well defined. Use Extrude with Sketch Contours: Select different contours from the sketch to create separate Thin Features. Apply Extrude-Thin for walls instead of drawing multiple profiles. Add Boss-Extrude for Base: Select the bottom face and extrude a solid for structural support. Fillet Edges: Smooth all edges with the Fillet tool to give it a finished, ergonomic design. Organize Features: Rename and group features to keep the feature tree clean and understandable.
