Datum planes and multiple solids

[Benji]

Hello everyone,

I am redoing an old design and also using datum planes this time to make the file more compact and also the building process easier. I run into a weird problem however with a shape I am trying to create on the datum plane. I have sketched (Sketch006) a circle that I want to pad to a 0.5 mm high cylinder. It does not make any contact with any other object yet I keep getting the Multiple objects warning and I have run out of ideas on what else to try and can't seem to find an answer on the forum either. Can someone tell me what I did wrong? Thanks in advance!

The fact the new solid does not make contact with the rest of the body is actually the problem.

Ah okay then. Is there a way I can get around that or should I go about it another way?

Should the pad from Sketch006 be a separate body? Each Body should be a single solid. You are trying to create a separate cylinder in to the same body so that is why you get that error.
Create new body, then the Sketch under it, pad it,...

That seems to work. Thank you!
