Model: extrude a face into a shape

Guide: Model: extrude a face into a shape · · 1 min read

Pull a face out or push it in. A rectangle becomes a block; a rectangle on a wall becomes a recess.

A block pulled up from a rectangle, with the distance in the measurement box.

Model: extrude a face into a shape: step by step

  1. 1. Pull

    Press E, click a face and move. Click, or type the distance and press Enter.

  2. 2. Push in

    A negative number pushes in. Pushed all the way through, it makes a hole; further than the shape is deep is not possible.

  3. 3. Keep the start face

    Hold Ctrl while you click to keep the face you started from, for a floor between storeys.
