Extruded Shells

Use the extruded method to create a Shell by drawing its profile on a plane (either freehand polygon or a default shape), then extruding the profile. For example, you can extrude a Shell over the walls of a building.

See the following sections for basic creation of Extruded Shells:

Simple Extruded Vault: Parallel to the Floor Plan

Simple Extruded Vault: Perpendicular to the Floor Plan

Extruded Shell with Freely Defined Profile

For more examples, see Sample Workflows for Shell Creation.
