    • Delete original faces . Deletes the faces selected under Faces to Extrude . The 3D faces are removed from the model.
    • Knit result . Knits the resulting extrude to the surface boundary where the original face is deleted.

  6. Close the PropertyManager.

    To examine the other surface extrude created from 3D faces, rotate the model and repeat Steps 1 - 6 for Surface-Extrude3.
