Region by Extrusion tool

The Region by Extrusion tool allows you to create regions when you are in the process of creating a new model or adding to an existing model. To access this tool, click (Geometry tab > Create panel > Regions > Region By Extrusion).

The Region by Extrusion command is used to create a region along the specified vector from the curve that you specify.

Dialog element	Explanation
Select curve	Allows you to select the curve to be extruded, along the vector that you specify below.
Extrusion vector	Allows you to specify the vector for the selected curve to be extruded along. Enter the x, y, and z vector coordinates in a space separated list. Note: The extrude vector must be on the same plane as the curve to be extruded.
Create as	Allows you to simultaneously create a modeling entity and assign properties to it. For example You can create a curve and assign runner properties to it. You can create a region and assign part surface properties to it. In some cases you have the option to Create as modeling entity. No properties will be assigned. This option may be appropriate if, for example, you are creating curves to construct a region. You must assign properties to the region, but you don't need to assign properties to the curves. Tip: To change the properties of an entity, click Change.
Filter	The filter helps you select a desired model or mesh entity. When you use a filter, the pointer will snap to the specified entity.
