The ExtrudeSrf command creates a solid by tracing the path of the surface edges in a straight line.

Steps

  1. Select a surface.
  2. Specify a distance.
  • A planar surface extrudes vertically to the surface plane by default. If the surface 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

SetBasePoint

Specify a location that serves as the first point when picking two points that set the extrusion distance.

Direction

Two points establish the direction angle.

Direction steps

  1. Pick a base point.
  2. Pick a second point that establishes the direction angle.

BothSides

Draws the object on both sides of the start point, creating the object twice as long as you indicate.


The BothSides option demonstrated with the Line command.

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
Yes

Deletes the original geometry.

No

Retains the original geometry.

ToBoundary

Extrudes the object to a boundary surface.
