Smart Extrude

Use Smart Extrude to interactively extrude faces on an Editable Poly. Adjacent faces will be rebuilt and stitched together, matching the final visual output that the artists sees with no need to manually repair hidden faces or geometric data.
Note: All selected and adjacent faces must be co-planar in order for Smart Extrude to correctly operate.

To use Smart Extrude:

  1. Select an Editable Poly.
  2. Working in Sub-object mode, select one or more faces to extrude.
  3. Hold Shift and drag in the viewport.

    The selected faces are extruded in the same direction, with adjacent faces automatically adjusted or generated to create a water-tight mesh.
