Extruded Polygons

The Extruded Polygon tool creates 3D polygons that have a height.

 

To create an extruded 3D polygon:

1.	Click the Extruded Polygon tool from the 3D Modeling tool set.

2.	Click to set the polygon’s start point (first vertex). The height of the extruded polygon is set in one of two ways.

 

View	Action
2D view or 3D elevation view	Enter the extruded polygon’s height in the Set Extrusion Height dialog box that opens at the first mouse click. Click OK.
3D isometric view	Move the mouse vertically and then click to set the height. For more information on the different views, see Using Standard Views.

3.	Click at each vertex.

4.	Double-click at the final vertex to end an open polygon; click at the starting vertex (a point cue displays) to end a closed polygon (the first and last vertex are automatically joined).
