To create an extrusion solid a contour must either be input manually as a closed polygon 3D CAD Architecture image11 545 Extrusion Solids,or an existing contour 3D CAD Architecture image11 546 Extrusion Solids can be used.

Input as a polygon can be performed in any view once a plane has been selected, see also ‘Inputting Primitives’.

To select a contour simply move the cursor over a surface in 3D or over a closed 2D contour, produced, for example, from a profile in the profile catalog.

When a surface or contour is detected, it is highlighted in red in the 3D preview and outlined in green in 2D.
