The extrusion surface is formed by moving a section along a rectilinear guide to one or both sides for a specified distance.

As a section, you can use faces, sketches (areas in sketches), edges, spatial curves (including contours).

Section objects can be closed and open, flat and non-planar.

When extruding flat closed sections, as well as faces, it is possible to create a closed surface. The figure below shows the construction of an extrusion surface whose section is a face.

Face extrusion

a) section (cylindrical face), b) closed surface, c) open surface

If the section is a planar face, sketch (sketch area), contour plotted by sketch or on a planar face, and it is extruded in the direction perpendicular to itself, then the side faces of the surface may be sloped (see the picture).

Slope of the side faces of the extrusion surface

a) closed, b) open

When extruding an edge or a 3D curve (including an Arbitrary type contour), faces of the surface may not be sloped or closed. An example of extruding a spatial curve is shown in the figure.
