Push/Pull a face

Push/Pull extrudes any flat face of a solid by a distance: raise a slab into a block, sink a pocket, or thicken a wall — and the solid stays a clean B-rep.

Good to know

  • Double-click a face with Push / Pull to repeat the last distance on it.
  • The tray's Direction list makes it one-sided or symmetric, and Start offset starts the new solid away from the face.
  • The step stays editable: select the body later and change its Distance in the inspector, and everything after it in the timeline rebuilds.

ModelingOffset a face's edgesOffset draws a copy of a flat face's outline a set distance inside or outside it, as a new face. Inset the top of a slab, then push the new face down to make a tray or up to make a plinth. ModelingMove (and copy) a bodyMove slides the selected bodies from one point to another, by a pointer gesture or an exact typed distance. Switch on Copy and it leaves the original where it was and places a copy instead.
