If there are several shapes in the scene, select one of the dots of the shape that you want to extrude to make sure that it is the active shape. 2. Select Shape | Generate | Vertical shapes. The Low text box refers to the lowest point of the generated vertical shapes, the High text box refers to the height of the generated vertical shapes and the Overhang text box refers to the thickness of the flat objects that are going to be placed in the shapes (tiling for example). If a value different from zero is given for the overhang, InSitu will shorten some of the shape's lines before performing the extrusion to make sure that there the flat articles placed on the vertical shapes issued from the extrusion do not hit each other. 3. Enter the setting you want in the text boxes and confirm. When the operation is finished, a rectangular, vertical shape will be generated for each horizontal line of the active shape. Only shapes located on a horizontal plan can be vertically extruded. Retour haut de page  Aller au parcours suivant
