Extrude

Use the Extrude command to create a solid or sheet body by selecting a section of curves, edges, faces, sketches, or curve features and extending them a linear distance.

The following example shows how Extrude can form a solid body from a section of curves.

You can:

• Size an extrude feature by dragging distance handles or specifying distance values.
• Unite, subtract or intersect an extrude feature with existing bodies.
• Produce multiple sheet or solid bodies with a single extrude feature.
• Trim an extrude feature using faces, datum planes or solid bodies.
• Add drafts to an extrude feature.
• Add offsets to an extrude feature, measured from its base section.
