Surface Extrudes From a 2D or 3D Face

You can create extruded surfaces from models that include 2D or 3D faces and knit the extruded
surfaces to surrounding features.

Click Insert > Surface > Extrude .

1. Select a face:

o To extrude from a 3D face, select a 3D face.

o To extrude from a 2D face, press Alt + select the planar face.
2. Select the end condition.
3. For 3D faces, select a plane, edge, 2D face, or sketch line to define the direction of
extrusion .
 Select a plane to define an extrude direction normal to the plane.

4. To remove the faces defining the extrude from the model after extruding, click Delete
original faces.
5. To create a single body from the extrude when faces are deleted, select Knit result .
6. Set other options and click .

 Surface Extrudes from Faces

In this example, you examine a part that has two surface extrudes. Both extrudes are
created from three contiguous faces: one planar face and two 3D faces.
