Group—Extrusiontakesplacealongtheaverage
normal of each contiguous group of polygons. If
you extrude multiples of such groups, each group
movesalongitsownaveragednormal.
Local N or ma l —Extrusion takes place along each
selected polygon’s normal.
By Polygon—Extrudes or bevels each polygon
individually.
Ex trusion Height—Specifies the amount of the

polygons outward or inward, depending on
whether the value is positive or negative.
