6.1.4.3.5. Extrude Surface

It allows the user to create an extruded surface geometric entity by using a curve.

6.1.4.3.5.1. Modeling Options

The user can create an extruded surface geometry by the following procedure.

  • Profile, Distance

    • Profile: Selects a profile.

    • Distance: Defines the distance of the extruding length.

  • Curve, Direction, Distance

    • Curve: Selects a curve.

    • Direction: Defines the extruding direction for the extruded surface geometry.

    • Distance: Defines the distance of the extruding length.

  • WithDialog

    • WithDialog: Extrude dialog box is shown. The surface is created by clicking OK in the Extrude dialog box.

      • Color: Specifies the color of the surface to be created.

      • Direction: Defines the extruding direction for the extruded surface geometry.

      • Distance: Defines the distance of the extruding length.

      • Add/Remove: Selects several edges of any geometries as the user wants to add or remove.

      • Add/Remove (Continuous): When using Add/Remove, if this option is checked, the connected edges within the degrees are selected together.

      • Tolerance (Degrees): The angle of between the connected two edges.

      • Bi-Direction: If it is checked, Extrude together in the opposite direction of the extruding surface.

      • Preview: Previews the surface to be created on Working Window.

      • Update: Update the preview.

6.1.4.3.5.2. Properties

The user can modify the geometry information using the Extrude Surface Geometry property page.

  • Make Road Data: Defines the patch size for the road data. This option is activated in Ground Mode.

  • Depth: Defines the depth of the extruded surface geometry.

  • Bi-Direction: If it is checked, Extrude together in the opposite direction of the extruding surface.
