Extrude with an asymmetric angle

This example shows how to extrude a draft with an asymmetric angle.

Procedure

  1. Choose Home tab → Base group → Extrude.
  2. Select a closed string of curves or edges for the section.
    • A preview of the extrude feature based on the selected section and default parameters appears.
    • Note: If the extrude preview is not already two-sided (that is, it appears on both sides of the section), drag a limit handle to make it two-sided.
  3. In the Draft group, from the Draft option list, select From Section-Asymmetric Angle.
    • Tip: You can also right-click the extrude preview and choose Draft → Draft → From Section-Asymmetric Angle.
    • Angle handles appear with default values.
  4. In the Draft group, from the Angle Option list, select Single.
  5. Drag the Front Angle and Back Angle handles to get the angles and shape you want. You can also type values in the Front Angle and Back Angle boxes.
    • For this example, 2 is entered for Front Angle and –13 is entered for Back Angle.
  6. Choose another command or click Apply to complete the extrude.

How do I

  • Extrude a solid body
  • Create an extrude feature with an offset
  • Subtract an extrude feature
  • Extrude between two bodies
  • Extrude using a section with self-intersecting curves
