Data

Extrude

• DateSource (Link): The shape to revolve.
• DateBase (Vector): The base point of the revolution axis.
• DateAxis (Vector): The direction of the revolution axis.
• DateAxis Link (LinkSub): Link to the edge to use as the revolution axis. Overrides DateBase and DateAxis if set.
• DateAngle (Angle): The angle span of the revolution. If zero and an arc is used for the DateAxis Link, the arc's span will be used.
• DateSymmetric (Bool): If true, the revolution is extended symmetrically from the profile.
• DateSolid (Bool): If true, revolving a closed edge or a closed wire will yield a solid. If False, a shell will result.
• DateFace Maker Class (String): If DateSolid is true, the facemaker class to use when converting wires to faces, otherwise ignored.
