.SH "NAME"
extrude \- Modifies an ARB shape by extruding the specified face through the specified \fIdistance\fR to determine the position of the opposing face\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBextrude\fR\ 'u
\fBextrude\fR {\fI#####\ distance\fR}
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Modifies an ARB shape by extruding the specified face through the specified
\fIdistance\fR
to determine the position of the opposing face\&. The face to be extruded is identified by listing its vertex numbers as they are labeled in the MGED display when the ARB is edited\&. Note that the face identified is not moved, but the opposite face is adjusted so that it is the specified distance from the specified face\&. The order that the vertex numbers are listed determines the direction of the extrusion using the right\-hand rule\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
The example shows the use of the
\fBextrude\fR
command to move a face a specific distance from its opposing face\&.

.RS 4
Moves face 5678 so that it is 5 units from face 1234\&.
