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

Controls whether the original geometry is deleted.

DeleteInput=No supports History.

ToBoundary

Extrude the object to a boundary surface.

SplitAtTangents

Controls whether tangent points on the input curve are extruded as joined edges or as surface kinks on the side surfaces.

SplitAtTangents=Yes (left) and No (right)
