Creates line, surface or solid geometries with a fixed cross-sectional profile taken from the original geometry of the feature.
Input Ports
Input
- If the geometry of the input feature was a face or an area, then the geometry is replaced with a solid.
- If the geometry of the input feature was linear, then the result is a composite surface geometry.
Output Ports
Output
The features with the extruded geometries are output through this port.
Parameters
Extrusion Input By
The amount of extrusion can be set either by height (in which case the extrusion is applied in the positive direction along the z axis), or an extrusion vector (which allows for extrusion in an arbitrary direction).
Extrusion Height
You can enter the extrusion height, or the value can be taken from an existing feature attribute (select the attribute name from the pull-down list).
Extrusion Vector X
You can enter the x component of the extrusion vector, or the value can be taken from an existing feature attribute (select the attribute name from the pull-down list).
Extrusion Vector Y
You can enter the y component of the extrusion vector, or the value can be taken from an existing feature attribute (select the attribute name from the pull-down list).
Extrusion Vector Z
You can enter the z component of the extrusion vector, or the value can be taken from an existing feature attribute (select the attribute name from the pull-down list).
Usage Notes
This transformer has no effect on features that have a geometry other than a face, area or line. Faces, areas, or lines contained within aggregates are not extruded.
Example
Editing Transformer Parameters
Using a set of menu options, transformer parameters can be assigned by referencing other elements in the workspace. More advanced functions, such as an advanced editor and an arithmetic editor, are also available in some transformers. To access a menu of these options, click 
beside the applicable parameter. For more information, see Transformer Parameter Menu Options.
