Hi <fiona>,

After successfully doing  SFDX: Authorise Org, Please follow the following steps :
Step 1: Go to the Manifest folder in your created project.
Step 2: Right-click on the package.xml file.
Step 3: Select the' Retrieve source in Manifest from org' option from the drop-down list.
After successfully retrieved the source file, you can find the Apex classes in the 'force-app' folder.

I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark it as Best Answer to help others too.

Thanks and Regards,

The SF tutorials don't mention the manifest. I'm not creating new classes, I need to work on existing code. This was very helpful, the missing piece.

At first I didn't see the manifest folder, but creating the project anew in VSCS with the option SFDX: Create Project with Manifest instead of SFDX: Create Project solved it for me together with sachinarorasf's answer.

I'm currently trying to import some Apex classes from a package without success. I've tried to put the package information in my package.xml but it's still impossible to retrieve my class from my org to my visual studio code project. Do you have any solutions for that? If I'm not wrong, it's supposed to work. I can see all the code from the developer console, so the class should be accessible.
