Sorry to ask this on the solidworks forum, but there is not a vx usenet forum. My question relates to extruding surfaces. In VX you don't "Thicken" loke you do in solidworks, rather you extrude the surface directly. I was wondering if anybody here knows how to specify extruding the surface normal to the original. There doesn't seem to be an option "etrude 'normal'". What I end up having to do is extrude the surface in more or less the cartesian direction that I'm looking for. This is less than ideal for me because it does not represent what the true solid thickness will be in the final object (in this cas yacht hulls). Does anybody here know what to do? Thanks in advance. -Eli
