Example: Specifying the Direction of Extrusion

You can specify extrude direction with 2D and with 3D sketches by specifying a direction vector as the Direction of Extrusion. Direction vectors include:

  • Cylindrical faces
  • Points in reference geometry
  • Reference planes
  • Linear edges
  • Conical faces
  • Reference axes
  • Sketch points
  • Vertices
  • Linear sketch entities
  • Planar faces
