Access: Open this function from one of the following locations:

Click the
button in the toolbar. -
Select Solid > Main Tools > Extrude from the menu bar.
-
Select Extrude on the popup menu if a sketch or 2D composite curve is selected.
-

-
Select Mold Design > Insert > Extrude from the menu bar.
-
Select Insert > Extrude button in the Mold Design Guide Toolbar or Parting Guide Toolbar.
Remove material by extruding on one or both sides, a closed sketch / composite curve, 3D face or face with tolerant edges, by a given value and direction.
In this option, extrude by the same amount equally in both directions.
Important: When using this function, material will be removed only from the current active object. (If only one object exists in the file it is automatically active unless manually deactivated.) See Activate / Deactivate and Activating Objects.
Note: For Add and Remove operations you can use wires or faces from a non-activated component (external reference).

Press the Delta = field to enter the extrusion value. The value you enter is the total extrusion depth - the contour is extruded by half the value in each direction. The default direction is normal to the 2D contour or sketch plane; you can click on the arrow origin to set another direction. (In this case, flipping the arrow direction has no effect.)
