About this Block

What it does: The Extrude Profile block extrudes a profile based on the profile input, distance, and direction. The profile is created using the Section Body block, where a Plane cuts through an Implicit Body. Common uses:
  • Custom shapes from 2D profiles

Extrude Profile

Profile (old), Scalar, Vector

Create an extrusion from a profile, distance, and direction.

Inputs

NameTypeDescription
ProfileProfile (old)Profile to extrude.
DistanceScalarDistance to extrude along direction.
DirectionVectorDirection of extrusion.

Outputs

Profile, Scalar, Scalar, Bool, Scalar Field, Shell Enum, Bool, Vector, 5.24.0

Create a thin (shelled) extrusion from a profile, distance, thickness, and direction.

Inputs

NameTypeDescription
ProfileProfileThe profile to extrude.
DistanceScalarExtent of the extrusion. if symmetric is enabled, the profile will be extruded by half the distance in both directions.
Draft angleScalarDraft angle applied to the extrusion.
SymmetricBoolIf checked, extrude the profile by half of distance along the positive and negative directions.
ThicknessScalar FieldThickness of the shelled extrusion.
Shell directionShell EnumDirection to shell the extrusion.
Trim endsBoolIf the profile is open and this option is checked, only extrude along the profile’s finite-length curves.
DirectionVectorDirection of extrusion. uses the normal of the profile’s plane by default.
