Extend edges with Quad Draw

Speed up topology creation with the Extend tool. You can quickly create new polygons by dragging existing edges, edge loops, borders, and vertices.

To extend edges

1. Open the Quad Draw Tool.
2. Select an Extend option from the Quad Draw tool marking menu (Ctrl + Shift + Right-click) or Quad Draw Options.
3. Tab-drag an edge in the scene view.
   
   When the Edge extend option is selected, you can also drag vertices to create polygons.

   
   Tip: When Auto-weld is enabled and you extend edges, the Quad Draw tool automatically welds adjacent edges and vertices together.

To extend edge loops

1. Tab + middle-drag a boundary edge to extend a loop when any of the Extend options are selected.
