Example of C-Ext

Procedure

To create a C-Ext object:

From the Create menu, choose Extended Primitives C-Extrusion.
Drag the mouse to define the base. (Press Ctrl to constrain the base to a square.)
Release the mouse and move it vertically to define the height of the C-extrusion.
Click, and then move the mouse vertically to define the thickness or width of the walls of the C-extrusion.
Click to finish the C-extrusion.

Corners: Draws the object from corner to corner. You can change the center location by moving the mouse.
Center: Draws the object from the center out.

Back/Side/Front Length: Specify the length of each of the three sides.
Back/Side/Front Width: Specify the width of each of the three sides.
Height: Specifies the overall height of the object.
Back/Side/Front Segs: Specify the number of segments for a specific side of the object.

Note: The object's dimensions (Back, Side, Front) are labeled as though it were created in the Top or Perspective viewports, and seen from the front in world space.
Width/Height Segs: Set these to specify the number of segments for the overall width and height of the object.
Generate Mapping Coords: Sets up the required coordinates for applying mapped materials to the object. Default=on.
Real-World Map Size: Controls the scaling method used for texture mapped materials that are applied to the object. The scaling values are controlled by the Use Real-World Scale settings found in the applied material's Coordinates rollout. Default=off.
