Lengthens a surface by a specified distance.
The extension surface can be merged as part of the original surface, or appended as a second surface adjacent to the original surface.
The following prompts are displayed.
- Specify Extension Distance
Specifies the extension length.
- Expression
Enter a formula or equation to specify the length of the surface extension. See Constrain a Design with Formulas and Equations.
- Modes
- Extend. Extrudes the surface in a way that tries to mimic and continue the shape of the surface.
- Stretch. Extrudes the surface without trying to mimic and continue the shape of the surface.
- Creation Type
- Merge. Extends the surface the specified distance without creating a new surface. If the originating surface is a NURBS surface, the new extension surface will also be a NURBS surface.
- Append. Creates a new extension surface that is adjacent to the original surface.
