pymel.core.nodetypes.Extrude

class Extrude(*args, **kwargs)

class counterpart of mel function extrude

This command computes a surface given a profile curve and possibly a path curve. There are three ways to extrude a profile curve. The most basic method is called a “distance” extrude where direction and length are specified. No path curve is necessary in this case. The second method is called “flat” extrude. This method sweeps the profile curve down the path curve without changing the orientation of the profile curve. Finally, the third method is called “tube” extrude. This method sweeps a profile curve down a path curve while the profile curve rotates so that it maintains a relationship with the path curve.
