The ExtrudeCrvToPoint command creates a surface by tracing the path of a curve tapering to converge at a selected point.

Steps

  1. Select a curve.
  2. Pick the point to extrude to.
  • A planar curve extrudes vertically to the curve plane by default. If the curve is not planar, the default extrusion direction is the z direction of the active CPlane.
  • The extrusion preview direction in the viewport defines the positive direction for distance input.

Command-line options

Output
Surface

Create a surface object.

SubD

Create a SubD object.

  • A SubD friendly curve as the input creates a better SubD object.
  • Some options may not be available when Output=SubD.
Solid

If the profile curve is closed and planar, both ends of the extruded object are filled with planar surfaces and joined to make a closed polysurface.

DeleteInput

Deletes (Yes) or keeps (No) the input object.

SplitAtTangents
Yes

Tangent points on the input curve extrude as joined edges.

No

Tangent points on the input curve extrude as surface kinks.
