Extrude a T-Spline body

Learn how to use the Extrude tool 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. In the canvas, select the Profile to extrude.

3. Drag the manipulator in the canvas or enter an exact value in the dialog to set the Distance.

4. In the dialog, specify the face Spacing:

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

5. 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.

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.
