I'm converting from Fusion360 to FreeCAD and adjusting to terminology and process differences. I have a sketch I created and am trying to pad/extrude specific sections. In Fusion, it was as simple as grabbing the "face" in the sketch and extruding and I have had a similar experience with the Pad tool though with less complex sketches and it seems to be an all-or-nothing approach.
I have included an image of my sketch. I'm looking to pad the orange and green sections while leaving the red out. Do I need to create multiple sketches or am I just overlooking something?
Thank you.

Re: Select parts of a sketch to extrude/pad?
You can derive a ShapeBinder from the Sketch and extrude that.
Or you use your sketch as a master sketch and you create Sketcher CarbonCopys of it and toggle he undesired parts to construction geometry.

Everything in a sketch is too much work. Keep it simple !

Thanks. I'll take a look and see how to improve my process.

Realthunder’s Link Branch has Export Single Geometry and Export Multiple Geometries tools as well as automatic SubShapeBinder generated when edges forming a closed loop are selected from the sketch before padding.
