SUPPRESSING REMOVES A FEATURE FROM A MODEL, BUT DOES NOT DELETE IT. THIS IS USEFUL IF YOU NEED THAT FEATURE BACK IN THE FUTURE.

SUPPRESSING CHANGES THE COLOR OF A FEATURE. THIS IS USEFUL TO HELP EASILY DISTINGUISH BETWEEN DIFFERENT FEATURES.

Which statement best describes the term "parametric modeling"?

YOU CAN SIMPLY PUSH AND PULL THE GEOMETRY UNTIL YOU ARRIVE AT THE SHAPE YOU REQUIRE.

THE DIMENSIONS AND RELATIONS USED TO CREATE A FEATURE ARE CAPTURED AND STORED IN THE MODEL.

DIMENSIONS AND RELATIONS ARE NOT CAPTURED OR STORED WITHIN THE MODEL.

THIS TYPE OF MODELING IS OFTEN COMPARED TO WORKING WITH MODELING CLAY.

COLLINEAR

CONCENTRIC

Your sketch is not extruding correctly. It does not seem to be a properly closed contour, although from a simple visual inspection, it looks to be fully closed.
