In combination with imprinted faces, you can form complex shapes using
press or pull operations to create extrusions and notches.
Methods for Press and Pull Modifications
With the PRESSPULL command, you specify the area to be extruded, and then
move the cursor or enter a value to specify the length of the extrusion. The
result is a single 3D solid object, often with a composite shape.
NOTE If you alternatively use EXTRUDE to extend an existing face on a 3D solid,
a separate extruded object is created.
Types of Objects That Can Be Pressed or Pulled
You can press or pull several types of bounded areas, including closed objects,
areas enclosed by coplanar geometry, the faces of 3D solids, and an imprinted
area on the face of a 3D solid. For a complete list of objects that are eligible
for a press or pull extrusion, see PRESSPULL.
You cannot taper the pressed or pulled shape as you create it. However, you
can achieve the same effect later by modifying the edges of the bounded area.
Quick Reference
Commands
EXTRUDE
Creates a 3D solid or surface by extending the dimensions of an object.
PRESSPULL
Presses or pulls bounded areas.
System Variables
IMPLIEDFACE
Controls the detection of implied faces.
Add Edges and Faces to Solids
Add editable faces to 3D solids and surfaces by imprinting other objects, such
as arcs and circles.
