| Alignment |
Determines the orientation of the profile element as it is extruded.
- Normal — As the profile is extruded, it maintains a fixed relationship with the normal plane of the path.
- Parallel — As the profile element is extruded, it remains aligned parallel to its original position.
|
| Scale |
Lets you apply a scale factor to the extrusion. The profile is scaled about the selected scale point as it is extruded. Prior to accepting the extrusion, you can adjust the scale point by dragging the scale point graphic (sphere) to a new location. |
| Spin |
If on, the profile is rotated by the angle specified in the angle field as it is extruded along the path. |
| Lock Rotation |
If on, lets you define the direction for the orientation of the profile as it is extruded along a non-planar path. If off, the orientation of the profile is controlled by the geometry of the non-planar path, possibly causing unwanted twisting.
|
| Circular |
If off, the surface/solid is constructed by extruding one element (the profile) along another element (the path).
If on, the tool settings expands to display Inside Radius and Outside Radius settings for a tube with a circular cross-section to be generated.
|
| Inside Radius |
(Circular on only) If on, sets the inside radius of the tubular extrusion. |
| Outside Radius |
(Circular on only) If on, sets the outside radius of the tubular extrusion. |
| Allow Self-Intersection |
Allows geometry that will intersect with itself to be created. If on, the creation of intersecting geometry can take a long time. |
| Keep Path |
If on, the path element is retained in the model. |
| Keep Profile |
If on, the profile element is retained in the model. |
