If you CAN see the Extrusion in the graphics-area

Double-click Extrusion

To open the Extrusion dialog 1.Double-click the Extrusion in the graphics-area or 1.See How to open a dialog

If you CANNOT see the Extrusion in the graphics-area

SHIFT-CLICK Profile Profile/Extrusion in Selection-Window

STEP 1: In the graphics-area SHIFT + Click the (Pink) Profile The Profile and Extrusion show in the Selection-Window. STEP 2: In the Selection-Window Selection-Window: Right-click the EXTRUSION element In the shortcut menu: Click Edit Element.

Alternatively, if you CANNOT see the Extrusion in the graphics-area

CLICK Profile	STEP 1: In the graphics-area 1. CLICK a (Pink) Profile The Assembly-Tree expands to identify the Profile
Profile/Extrusion in Assembly-Tree	STEP 2: In the Assembly-Tree 2.Assembly-Tree: Expand the Profile element to show the Extrusion as its child. 3.Assembly-Tree: Click the EXTRUSION The  Extrusion  name is now blue, the Element icon has an orange box 4.Assembly-Tree: Right-Click the EXTRUSION A shortcut menu shows next to your pointer: 5.shortcut menu: Click Edit Element

The Extrusion dialog is now open.

Sketch-Loop - see Edit Part - it is on the Mechanism-Plane

Primary-Contour -parallel to the Mechanism-Plane

Secondary-Contour - parallel to the Primary-Contour

Z-axis,  perpendicular(⊥) to the Mechanism-Plane

Extrusion-Depth (default = see Application-Settings> Auto-Profile tab)

The distance to the Secondary-Contour from the Primary-Contour, along the +Z-axis of the Part.

Extrusion-Depth must be positive. Minimum value = 0.0001mm

Extrusion-Offset (default = 0)

The distance to the Primary Contour from the dimension that you specify by Part-Offset.

Extrusion-Offset can be negative or positive.

Part-Offset (default = 0)

Applies to ALL Extrusions in a Part.

The distance to the Primary Contour from the Mechanism-Plane to which we add the distance specified by the Extrusion-Offset parameter.

Part-Offset can be negative or positive.

Note: The distance to Primary contour from Mechanism-Plane = Part Offset + Extrusion Offset

Show Extrusion

To show or hide the Extrusion

Note: To hide the Profile contours, see Visibility menu > Show/Hide Profiles

Color

To select the color of the Extrusion with the Windows® Color-Picker

Transparency (slider)

To change the Transparency (1/Opacity) of the Extrusion in the graphics-area

Graphics Quality (slider)

To change the Graphics Quality of the Extrusion

Note: To update to a different Graphics Quality, you may need to edit the Part in the Part-Editor and then close the Part-Editor immediately.

Density (default = 7860  ~ density of steel)

To edit the density of the Extrusion.

As you edit the Density, we update the Mass and Inertia properties.

Mass (read-only)

Mass = Density × area of sketch-loop × Extrusion Depth.

We distribute the mass uniformly. The center-of-mass is on the Mechanism-Plane.

Inertia (read-only)

We calculate the Inertia (Mass Moment of Inertia) with respect to the center-of-mass.
