Re: Need some help with Solidworks please

SKETCH PLANE--If you want to change your sketch plane you can edit that too. If the tree on the left find the feature you want to edit. Click the "plus symbol" so you can see the word "sketch" below the feature. It will have some number too. Example "sketch3". Right mouse click to edit the sketch and you will see some icons. One is a hand (edit) holding a datum plane. That is what will change your sketch plane so you can now pick the correct one (top in your case). Fair warning that many of the following features may now turn red and have failures because the prior (parent feature) has now changed. You would need to continue on with editing planes and features.

Good time to learn that in Solidworks "Ctrl Q" will rebuild the entire model and look for errors. The red/green stop light rebuilds changes but not ALL features and sketches.
