Creates a surface or solid by driving a curve in a straight line perpendicular to the construction plane.
Note: Unlike Lofts
and Sweeps
, the initial orientation of the profile curve or surface is maintained through the extrusion.
Steps:
-
Select
a curve.
-
Pick
a distance.

Extrude a curve the distance specified by picking two points along a curve.
Note: The extruded surface starts from the beginning of the curve, not the first picked point. Picking the points only establishes the extrusion distance.
Steps:
-
Select
the path curve.
-
Pick
a start along the path curve.
-
Pick an end along the path curve.

Creates a surface by extruding a curve on a surface, normal to the surface.
Steps:
-
Select
a curve on the surface.
-
Select the surface.
-
Pick
a location on the curve for a height.
-
Pick a location to set another height, or press Enter
if the surface should be uniform in height.

Offsets a curve, extrudes and caps the result to create a solid.
Steps:
-
Select
a curve.
-
Note: The Slab command uses the construction plane in the view where you pick the offset as the ground plane. The Slab command offsets the curve to create a base for the slab and then extrudes the base to make a solid with mitered corners.
-
Pick
a distance.
-
Pick the height.
