Q1: What is the Extrude plugin in MeshInspector?
A: The Extrude plugin in MeshInspector is a powerful tool designed to ease the modeling process by allowing users to extrude areas of 3D models.
Q2: How do I enable the edge display on my model?
A: To enable edge display on your model, navigate to the appropriate settings within MeshInspector to enhance visualization and make the work process more intuitive.
Q3: How do I select areas for extrusion using the Extrude plugin?
A: Before extruding an area, it needs to be selected. Use the Face Selector plugin within MeshInspector to choose the desired area on the model.
Q4: What is the recommended method for selecting areas with the Face Selector plugin?
A: For easy selection, use the 'Polygon Model' mode and specify 'Convex' curvature preference. This automatically builds the selection along convex angles.
Q5: How do I activate and use the Extrude plugin?
A: Once the area is selected, activate the Extrude plugin and drag the selected area in the desired direction using the left mouse button. Further adjustments can be made before finalizing the extrusion.
Q6: How do I finalize the extrusion process?
A: After adjusting the position of the selected area, press the 'Finish Extrusion' button to fix the changes and start a new extrusion process.
Q7: What options are available for precise extrusion?
A: If you need to extrude the model strictly along the normals of the selected area, simply check the 'Extrude Along Normals' option.
Q8: How can I improve the quality of triangulation of new faces during extrusion?
A: If extruding over a considerable distance, utilize the 'Subdivide Long Triangles' function to enhance the quality of triangulation of the new faces.
Q9: Can I adjust the extrusion after it has been finalized?
A: Yes, you can make adjustments to the extrusion before finalizing the process by pressing the 'Finish Extrusion' button.
We hope the Extrude plugin will become an essential component of your 3D modeling workflow in MeshInspector. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
