Padding the sketch
Let's now add volume to our sketch.
 * 1) First, let's change the view orientation to axometric so the next step is displayed better. For that, type  (the zero digit) on your keyboard, or click on the View-axometric.png Set to axometric view icon in the View toolbar.
 * 2) The Sketch object should still be selected in the Model tree view. If not, select it (either in the tree or in the 3D view).
 * 3) Click on the PartDesign_Pad.svg PartDesign Pad icon.
 * 4) Under Pad parameters in the Tasks panel, set the length to 7mm. You can see in the 3D view that changing the value makes the solid thicker or thinner. Tip: you can quickly raise or lower the value by 5mm increments by placing the mouse pointer over the entry field and scrolling with the mouse wheel.
 * 5) Click OK. Notice that a new Pad object has been added to the tree, and the Sketch has been hidden and nested under the Pad object. You can reveal the Sketch object by clicking on the arrow besides the "Pad" object in the tree. Tutorial_Simple_Box_Cover_03.png

Hollowing out the base solid
For this step we need to switch to the Part workbench.
