[ Up: Operation Reference ]

Takes a 2D MeshModel (i.e. a MeshModel which varies its node positions in only two of its possible 3 dimensions) and extrudes it in a specified direction. This can be useful for generating 3D representations of 2D objects (e.g. cylinders from circles).

Member of plug-in: Mesh
Catalogue path: Mesh

Inputs:
2d mesh	CSIRO::Mesh::MeshModel
Length	double	The desired length of the 3D object in model space.
Direction	CSIRO::Mesh::Vector3dGroup	The desired direction (in model space) of the extrusion operation.
Centre at origin	bool	Whether or not the output model is to be moved so it is centred at the origin (0,0,0) after extrusion, or left as-is.
Outputs:
3d mesh	CSIRO::Mesh::MeshModel
