of solids or surfaces along a selected planar direction.

The arrow in the graphics area points normal to the selected
reference, but the surface radiates parallel to the selected reference.

an edge or a set of contiguous edges in the graphics area for Edges

If
necessary, click Flip Radiate Direction
to radiate the surface in the opposite direction.
Select
Propagate to tangent faces if
the model has tangent faces and you want the radiated surface to continue
along those faces.
Set
