Hi Andy!
A year or two ago, I printed out the AC3D User Manual on paper. Under "Operations on surfaces" > "Extruding", there is an illustration that shows a window with "Gridsnap" and "Select though" checkboxes. Under those two options, there are three more options, "Cap end", "Flip new surf", and "Remove end?". The on-line menu no longer shows, or even mentions, these three options. So, I assume these options have been removed from the software? Is that true? If that is true, what is the best method for extruding a set of planar surfaces to produce an enclosed volume suitable for use as a Boolean "subtract" object? Thank you for your reply, and your amazing software! Respectfully, John Vybiral |

Hi John,
Yes, in AC3D 8.3, Extrude was simplified and the new "Thicken" function was added (Object menu). Thicken ensures that the normals are correct. There are some pics here: http://www.inivis.com/ac3d83.html |
