Extrudes a planar shape along a given direction, to form a closed, solid volume. The dialog box below allows you to choose the extrusion axis and length.
In most common scenarios, the following lists the expected output shape type from a given input shape type,
- Extrude a Vertex (point), will produce a lineal Edge (Line)
- Extrude a open edge (e.g. line, arc), will produce a open face (e.g. plane)
- Extrude a closed edge (e.g. circle), will optionally produce a closed face (e.g. an open ended cylinder) or if the parameter "solid" is "true" will produce a solid (e.g. a closed solid cylinder)
- Extrude a open Wire (e.g. a Draft Wire), will produce a open shell (several joined faces)
- Extrude a closed Wire (e.g. a Draft Wire), will optionally produce a shell (several joined faces) or if the parameter "solid" is "true" will produce a solid
- Extrude a face (e.g. plane), will produce a solid (e.g. Cuboid)
- Extrude a Draft Shape String, will produce a compound of solids (the string is a compound of the letters which are each a solid)
