Linear Extrude

 Extrude Linear

Extrude a two dimensional shape in an upward linear direction.

The two dimensional shape is extruded to the height, upwards along the Z axis. The two dimensional shape is be rotated twistAngle about the Z axis during the extrusion, creating twistSteps during the extrusion.

Note: The two dimensional shape can be placed anywhere to create various twisted shapes.

Defaults:

  • height : 1
  • twist : 0
  • twistSteps : 1 (Note: Increasing the value of twistSteps improves the overall shape.)
