1 0.6. -Select the "Extruded Cut" command; if we use an open sketch to make a

cut, selecting either the "Through All" or the "Through All - Both" option, it

automatically activates the "Direction 2" checkbox with the "Through All" end

condition and one side of the model is cut using the open sketch. The small arrow

located at the center of the line indicates which side of the model will be cut. Use

the "Flip side to cut" option if needed to cut the left side. Click OK to complete the

cut and repeat the same sketch to cut the right side. Note the cutting plane is

shown in the graphics area.
