Solid

Extend Object

The Extend Object is used for fast modifications on Solid Objects (closed or opened). Modifications such as removing faces by extending adjacent faces to fill the gap, moving faces to relocate holes, and offsetting faces to resize pockets, ribs, and replacing faces.

The function should be used for fast modifications when you want to avoid regeneration of the entire project.
