<h1>Extrusion along a path</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In principle, Extrusion along a path works in the same way as Extrusion,
|
||||
the main difference is that we define not a vector, but a path of extrusion
|
||||
which must be a meshed edge or wire. To get an idea of how this algorithm
|
||||
works, let's see the left image, where we have a 1D circle edge and a
|
||||
2D hexagon to be extruded along this path (in the picture they are angular
|
||||
because we show the wireframe of the mesh). And now let's see the right
|
||||
image, showing the result of the operation. </p>
