The Extrude command extrudes an open or closed sketch profile or planar face to create or modify a surface body in Fusion 360.

Design > Surface > Create > Extrude 

Profile

Enables the selection of sketch profiles.

Distance

Specifies the distance to extrude. There are two distance fields for a two side extrusion.

Taper Angle

Specifies the angle to taper the extrusion.

Direction Type

Specifies the method to control the size of the extrusion.

• One Side Creates the extrusion in one direction.
• Two Side Creates the extrusion in both directions. Each direction can have a different extrusion length.
• Symmetric Creates the extrusion in both directions. Each direction has the same extrusion length.

Operation

Select an operation.

New Body: Creates a new body in the active component. New Component: Creates a new body in a new component.

Objects to cut

Select to recompute bodies or maintain the current bodies.

• Auto-Select re-computes the bodies to cut based on the current visibility state.
• # Bodies cuts the same bodies that were included when the cut operation was created.

Available for cut operations only. The option is only active when you edit operations.

When you create a cut operation, the bodies to affect are determined based on visibility. Bodies that are visible will participate. Bodies that are not visible will not participate.

When you edit the operation in the timeline, the cut is recalculated. You can choose to recompute the bodies to cut (Auto-select) or keep the bodies that were used when the operation was created (# Bodies).

Extents

Specifies how the distance of the extrusion is determined.

• Distance The extrusion terminates at a specified distance.
• To The extrusion terminates on a selected face or plane.
• All The profile is extruded through all geometry.

Match Shape

Available when Extents is set to To. The extrusion terminates on faces adjacent to the selected face.

Flip

Available when Extents is set to All. Changes the direction of the extrusion.
