To Work With Reshaping Mesh Faces

Split a Mesh Face

1. Click Modeling tab > Mesh panel > Split Mesh Face.
2. Click the mesh face that you want to split.
3. To snap to a vertex of the face, enter v (Vertex).
4. Click the location where you want to start the split.
5. Click a second location to end the split.

   The mesh face is split along the boundary you specified. Surrounding faces are adjusted.

Merge a Mesh Face

1. Click Modeling tab > Mesh panel > Merge Face.
2. On a mesh object, select two or more mesh faces and press Enter.

   The selected faces are combined to form a single face.

Extrude a Mesh Face

1. Click Modeling tab > Mesh panel > Extrude Face.
2. To review or change the extrusion method, press s (Setting) and set one of the following options:
   • To keep adjacent faces joined as you extend them, enter y (Yes).
   • To extend adjacent faces separately, enter n (No).
3. Click one or more mesh faces and press Enter.
4. Specify the amount of extrusion using one of the following methods:
   • (Single face extrusion only) Press Enter to set the extrusion dynamically.
   • Enter a value to indicate the height or depth of the extrusion and press Enter.

   The selected face is extruded.

Collapse a Mesh Face

1. Click Modeling tab > Mesh panel > Collapse Face or Edge.
2. Select a mesh face or edge.
   Note: If you cannot select a face or edge, verify whether subobject selection filtering is turned on for a different subobject type. (Right-click the drawing area and click Subobject Selection Filter.)

   The vertices of the face or edge that you selected are collapsed to a single point.

Spin the Shared Edge of Triangular Mesh Faces

1. Click Modeling tab > Mesh panel > Spin Triangle Face.
2. Select two triangular mesh faces that are adjacent to one another.

   The edge shared by the original triangles rotates, or spins, to connect two different vertices.
