List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Objects to Extrude Specifies the objects to extrude.
NOTE
Select face and edge subobjects by pressing Ctrl while you select them.
Mode Controls whether the extruded object is a solid or a surface. Surfaces
are extruded as either NURBS surfaces or procedural surfaces, depending on
the SURFACEMODELINGMODE (page 1453) system variable.
Height of extrusion Extrudes objects along the positive Z axis of the object's
coordinate system if you enter a positive value. If you enter a negative value,
the objects are extruded along the negative Z axis. Objects do not have to be
parallel to the same plane. If all objects are on a common plane, the objects
are extruded in the direction of the normal of the plane.
By default, planar objects are extruded in the direction of the object’s normal.
Direction Specifies the length and direction of the extrusion with two specified
points. (The direction cannot be parallel to the plane of the sweep curve
created by the extrusion.)
 Start point of direction. Specifies the first point in the direction vector.
 End point of direction. Specifies the second point in the direction
vector.
