Using the Extrude Operation

The Extrude Operation extrudes, and optionally bevels, the selected faces or edges.

The Extrude operation has several settings available including Extrusion, Bevel Amount and Extrude as Region. These settings can be adjusted using the Object Layers Panel when an Extrude operation layer is active.

The Extrusion setting is used to indicate the amount of extrusion desired.

The Bevel Amount setting is used to indicate the amount of bevelling to perform.

The Extrude as Region setting is used to indicate that the selected faces or edges should remain connected after the extrusion.

The Extrude Using Face Direction setting is used to indicate that each of the selected faces should be extruded using its direction. Normally faces are extruded using the average direction of the selected faces. This setting has no effect on Extrude as Region since it always extrudes using individual face directions.
