    Extrude Edges icon Extrude Edges

    The Extrude Edges tool pushes a new edge out from each selected edge, connected by a new face for each edge. This tool only works on open edges (that is, an edge that has no connected face on one side). However, you can override this restriction with the Manifold Edge Extrusion option.

    Each new face follows the direction of the normals of the face that is adjacent to the selected edge.

    Extrude 4 edges of 9

    You can invoke this tool in either way:

    • Select one or more edge(s) and click Extrude Edges. 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 edge(s) and then hold Shift while you move, rotate, or scale the selected edge(s). This method ignores the options but provides greater control, especially with the direction of the extrusion.

    Extrude Edges Options

    These options apply only if you use the Extrude Edges button or the Ctrl/Cmd+E hotkey.
