7.6.2.6.1. Extrude...

Call: Solids [Base] > Extrude...

→ The sketch is displayed in the 3D view

→ The Extrude... command opens the Extrusion object [Extrusion solid] dialog box.

Note

Hold down CTRL while pressing the corresponding quick access button in the 3D history [3D History] to execute the action immediately and skip the input dialog.

As soon as complete entries have been made, a preview appears in the 3D view and changes are displayed immediately.

Name: "Base extrude <number>" appears by default. The number is incremented with each extrusion.

Note
You may change the name. However, use only ANSI characters (in other words: a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and spaces).
In the Length field, you define the extent of the 2D object.

Length of extrusion

Opposite direction extrusion is carried out in the opposite direction.

Both directions: The extrusion is performed in both directions.

Black vector = direction: against surface normal [Against surface normal]

Black vector = direction: both directions [Both directions]

Various lengths [Different lengths] with this option, the 2D sketch is also extruded in both directions, but with the option of defining different extrusion lengths.

Define the length against the surface normal in the field below Various lengths [Different lengths] (here "30").

Shaped be [Draft] velto create a bevel from the 2D sketch, enter the corresponding angle dimension in the Shape bevel field.
You can also link each extrusion to a condition [Condition] condition. Possible characters are &, |, !=, =, >, <, >= and <=.

Example: The sketch should only be extruded if for variable H (height) a value larger than 10 has been set.

Design steps (features) that are excluded due to the condition are shown deactivated in the 3D history [3D History] and marked with an if symbol ( for Base for Cut).
Minimal rasterization [Minimum rasterization]:
In some rare situations, it may be necessary to increase the accuracy for the minimum rasterization within a part for a specific feature in order to be able to create a specific geometry. You will find this setting option under Solids [Base], Cut and Sweep.

Example:

Left, depiction with "Very high", right, with "Default"

After you have exited the context menu Extrusion body [Extrusion solid] via OK, you will see a new feature called Base extrude 1 in the 3D history [3D History].

In the 3D view, the sketch appears as a solid.
