    Extrude Face icon Extrude Faces

    The Extrude Faces tool creates a new face. To do this, it pulls out the currently selected face, and attaches sides to each edge.

    By default, each new face follows the direction of its vertex normals, but you can change this with the Extrude By option.

    You can invoke this tool in either way:

    • Select one or more face(s) and click Extrude Faces. By default, the distance of the extrusion is 0.5, but you can change that with the Distance option.

      Tip: You can also use the Ctrl/Cmd+E hotkey instead of the button with this method.

    • Select one or more face(s) and then hold Shift while moving, rotating, or scaling the selected face(s). This method ignores the options but provides greater control, especially with the direction of the extrusion.

      When you use this method with the scaling control, it creates an inset.

    Extrude Faces Options

    These options only apply if you are using the Extrude Faces button or the Ctrl/Cmd+E hotkey.
