once you have a 2d sketch completed the
pool tool can be used to develop it into
a 3d model if you are in plan view after
sketching it's a good idea to switch to
home view before pulling as this will
allow you to see what's happening as the
3d shape emerges
when you select the pull tool and hover
over the sketch you'll see the surface
becomes yellow and some yellow arrows
appear the small solid yellow arrow in
the center of the surface shows that the
sketch face is ready to be pulled the
larger double arrows which follow your
cursor indicate that you can click and
drag now to pull the shape up or down
notice that the arrows are pointing
vertically in the direction you will
pull as long as the large yellow arrows
are visible you can pull the shape from
wherever your cursor is
when you pull the solid you can drag it
to a dimension or type in a value before
releasing the drag
note that when you release the drag the
dimension will disappear but it is still
an option to type a dimension if you
want to modify the extent of the pull
the new dimension will be added to the
original pull
