5.15. -Now we are ready to make the extruded cut. For this operation we'll use a

seldom used but very powerful option in SOLIDWORKS. Select the "Extruded

Cut" icon from the Features tab as before, but now activate the checkbox "Flip

side to cut."

This option will make the cut outside of the sketch, not inside. Notice the

arrow indicating which side of the sketch will be used to cut. Make the cut 0.5"

deep and rename the resulting feature 'Hex Cut'.

The same result can be obtained without the "Flip side to cut" by adding a

profile larger than the polygon; this way the Extruded Cut feature would use

the region between the two profiles to make the cut.
