Extruding an Edge

  1. Click Pull in the Edit group on the Design tab. The Select tool guide on the right side of the Design window should be active.
  2. Select the edge or edges you want to extrude.
    Ctrl+click to select multiple edges. Double-click to select a tangent chain.
  3. Select the Extrude Edge option in the Options window, or from the mini-toolbar.
    The Pull arrow changes to show the two directions in which you can extrude the edge. One arrow is highlighted to show the primary direction.
  4. If the arrow pointing the direction you want to pull is not highlighted, click the arrow or press Tab to change the direction.

Click and drag the edge in the direction of the Pull arrow.

To dimension the extrusion, right-click and enter a distance in the mini-toolbar, or type the distance while you are pulling and press Enter.

Press Ctrl to copy the edges.

Press Ctrl+C, then Ctrl+V to quickly copy and paste a selected set of edges in place.

You can click the Up To tool guide and click a face, edge, or point to pull up to. If the face does not intersect the edge you are pulling, the edge will be pulled parallel to the face. If you pull the edge of a surface up to another object, the result is automatically solidified if it creates a closed volume.
