- In the Profile box, select the profile to be extruded.
- In the Direction box, specify the direction of extrusion.
- You can select a line to take its orientation as the extrusion direction or a plane
to take its normal as extrusion direction.
- You can also specify the direction by means of X, Y, Z vector components by using
the context menu in the Direction box.
- Specify the Limit Types of the extrusion.
- Length: enter length values or use the graphic handles to
define the start and end limits of the extrusion.
- Up-to element: select a
geometric element. It can be a point, a plane or a surface.
If a point is specified, the up-to element is the plane normal to
the extrusion direction passing through the given point.
Note:
The wires cannot be selected as an up-to element.
-
Select Symmetric extrusion
to extrude the profile in the opposite direction using the same dimension value as the one defined for the first dimension.
-
Click Reverse Direction
 or the arrow in the work area to display the extrusion on the other side of the selected profile.
- Click OK
to create the volume.
