Hi, I’m new to shapr3D and up until the middle of yesterday I was able to use the extrude tool just fine to make holes like it was shown in the tutorials. Then something strange happened and the app suddenly stopped guessing that I wanted to use subtract snd instead seems to have locked itself into the new body option instead. Every time I try and click to switch it from new body to subtract to stays stuck on the new body option. I have no idea why it’s doing this.

Hi @Pau Welcome to the forum.  
I hope you have been able to resolve your problem.

If stumbling across something of this type I have found that Powering Off the iPad and after 20 seconds or so Restart it.  
If you are experiencing problems after a restart shout for help again.

I come back to continue in my modeling and find now that I can’t get an extrude to do what I’m trying to do and which I’ve done before. I know the app was updated a few days ago,… I created an offset construction plane and created a rectangle and moved it into position where I wanted. I’m trying to essentially create something akin to a handle on the side of this extruded half ellipse. H…

@Robert and @Pau

This is being written up for the benefit of the Community, it may be of use with your problem

A Circle has been placed on the side of a Cube ready to use **Tools \> Extrude**

When Clicking on the Circle [or anything else needed to create an Extrusion] the Small Icon, shown after the Dimension, always includes a ‘Blue’ Colour but does not necessarily reflect the Option choice. See the second ScreenShot:

Clicking on that Icon pops up a Label Displaying the Options:

EDIT: Close up of the available Options:
