Solid by Extrusion

Used to create a solid generated by linearly extruding a profile element (text, shape, or complex shape, B-spline surface, face of a surface or solid element) a defined distance. Extrusion adds a third dimension to a plane surface. Faces formed between the original profile element and its extrusion are indicated by straight lines connecting the keypoints.

You can access this tool from the following:

Toolbox: Create Solids

Setting	Description
Use Active Attributes	If on, the extrusion is created with the element using the active attributes. If off, the extrusion is created with the element taking the attributes of the profile element.
Keep Original	If on, the original profile element is kept in the model.
Parametric	If on, a parametric solid is created with the profile as an input element. The profile can be handled like other feature inputs, allowing you to show /hide, apply constraints, replace etc.
Distance	If on, sets the distance, in working units, the element is extruded.
Thickness	Sets the wall thickness when a hollow solid, or a surface with thickness is required. None — Disables the Thickness setting. Inside — The thickness is protruded on the inside face of the extrusion. Outside — The thickness is protruded on the outside face of the extrusion. Center — The thickness is equally protruded on both faces of the extrusion, respecting the total thickness value entered.
Show/Hide Extended Settings	Displays or hides extended settings.
Orthogonal	(Extended Setting) If on, the profile element is extruded orthogonally.
Both Directions	(Extended Setting) If on, the profile element is extruded in both directions.
X Scale	(Extended Setting) If on, sets the scale factor in the x-direction.
Y Scale	(Extended Setting) If on, sets the scale factor in the y-direction.
Scale lock icon	(Extended Setting) If on (locked), forces both X Scale and Y Scale to be the same value. Changing one will cause the same change to be applied to the other. If off (unlocked), X Scale and Y Scale can be different values.
Spin Angle	(Extended Setting) If on, sets the spin angle — the angle through which the profile is rotated as it is extruded.
Variable Link	Let's you use an existing variable to set the input value, defined in the Variables dialog. Note: If no variables exist, you will be alerted to create one first.
