Create an Extrusion

This option enables you to create extrusions from objects such as polygons, lines or circles. This can be useful, for example, to create a surface from a line or a cylinder from a circle.

1. On the Create ribbon tab navigate to the Surface group and select Extrusion.

   

2. Highlight the object from which to create the extrusion.
   

3. Specify the Direction and Distance of the extrusion.

   

4. If the extrusion must be terminated by an intersecting plane, rather than by a defined distance, select Intersect with a plane and specify the Intersection plane.

   

5. Click OK or Apply. The extrusion will be saved in the cad container.
