Extrude a T-Spline body

Learn how to use the Extrude command to create or modify a T-Spline body in Fusion.

1. In the Design workspace, Form contextual environment, select Create > Extrude .

   The Extrude dialog displays.

2. Select the profile that you want to extrude, and then drag the manipulator to set the surface's height.

3. To adjust how Fusion positions the faces, in the Spacing drop-down, select one of the following:

   • Uniform. Sets the spacing evenly along the curve.
   • Curvature. Creates more faces where the curve is tightest.

4. To make the surface closer to the profile's shape, drag the manipulator to add more faces. Or, set the number manually in the dialog box.

5. Specify the Distance to extrude.

6. Specify the Angle of the extrusion.

7. Select a Direction setting, then adjust its associated settings:

   • One Side: Creates an extrusion on one side of the profile plane.
   • Two Sides: Creates a unique extrusion on each side of the profile plane.
     • Adjust the settings in step 6 independently for each side.
   • Symmetric: Creates identical extrusions on each side of the profile plane.

8. Specify the number of front faces.

9. Select the New Body as an Operation, which creates a new body in the active component.

10. Click OK.
