6.1.4.4.1. Extrude Solid

It allows the user to create an extruded solid geometric entity from a surface along the user-defined direction.

6.1.4.4.1.1. Modeling Options

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

Profile, Distance
- Profile: Selects a closed-loop profile.
- Distance: Defines the distance of the extruding length.
Surface, Direction, Distance
- Surface: Select a surface.
- Direction: Defines the direction of the extrude.
- Distance: Defines the distance of the extruding length.
WithDialog
- WithDialog: Extrude dialog box is shown. The solid is created by clicking OK in the Extrude dialog box.

  - Color: Specifies the color of the solid to be created.
  - Direction: Defines the extruding direction for the extruded solid geometry.
  - Distance: Defines the distance of the extruding length.
  - Add/Remove: Selects several faces 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 faces within the degrees are selected together.
  - Tolerance (Degrees): The angle between the connected two faces.
  - Bi-Direction: If it is checked, Extrude together in the opposite direction of the extruding solid.
  - Preview: Previews the solid to be created on Working Window.
  - Update: Update the preview.

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

Direction: Defines the direction of the extrude.
Depth: This is a value for the depth of the extruded solid geometry.
Bi-Direction: If it is checked, Extrude together in the opposite direction of the extruding solid.
