Extrude Mode
Shapes Extrusions Extrude
In this mode, you may interactively extrude either a profile or a face
to obtain a three-dimensional solid. To extrude a face, you may pick a
face of an existing solid. If you want to extrude a profile you must define
a set of points that form a closed polygon line. The points are always
located on the current active .
If a face has been previously picked, this face will automatically
be taken for the extrusion when you enter the Extrude
Mode.
Creation steps to extrude a profile
When you first enter the mode and no face has
been previously picked, you will be asked to double-click on the working
plane to mark the first point of the polygon line. The cursor’s
location will be projected onto the currently active .
When you have defined the first point, a rubber-band appears from this
point to the mouse pointer. This band represents the first line of the
to be defined polygon.
Repeat this procedure for as many points as necessary.
To finish the polygon, choose the last point to be on the same location
as the first one (always remember to release the mouse button after double
clicking, before dragging to the next point).
When you have defined the profile, you will be
asked to double-click to enter the height of the new solid. A rubber-band
displays an outline of the solid with the height defined by the actual
mouse position.
After you have entered the height, the Extrude
Profile dialog box appears, showing you all values of the new solid.
If they are correct, press the OK button to create the new solid.
Creation steps
to extrude a face
At least one
face must have already been picked. If more than
one face has been picked, the last picked face will be used for the extrusion.
Immediately after you have entered the mode, the Extrude
Face dialog box appears. Here, you may enter all desired values for
the new solid.
SHIFT key
By pressing the SHIFT key after the first point
has been set, the cursor movement is fixed in one coordinate and may only
be moved in the other and vice versa.
Display of locations
Throughout this mode, the current mouse location
will be displayed in the lower right corner of the .
Snap mode
All positions will be adjusted to the snap
grid when active.
Cancel interactive mode
You may cancel this interactive mode at any
time by pressing the ESC key. Pressing ESC again in the following dialog
box will terminate the extrude mode.
Undo last double-click
You may go back to the last step by pressing
the BACKSPACE key. Pressing this key in the interactive mode will undo
the last double-click.
Numerical specification of coordinates (TAB key
and SHIFT+TAB key)
To precisely specify the shape coordinates,
you may press the TAB key whenever a point must be double-clicked. A small
coordinate dialog
box will open in which you may specify the shape coordinates numerically.
The dialog entries take over the coordinates
at the cursor position on the .
However, if the SHIFT+TAB key is pressed, the coordinates are always set
to zero.
Pick tools to specify coordinates
You may snap the location to a previously defined
shape’s corner, cylinder radius, etc., by activating a point
pick tool, at the moment when the next point must be specified. The
double-click will be processed by the pick functionality to specify the
location of a point. The picked point will then be taken as the selected
location.
