Extrusion Properties

For any properties not shown below, see Setting Object Properties.

Options
Elevation	Distance from the ground to the bottom of the object.
Height	Height of the extrusion.
Taper	Size of the extrusion’s top. A value of 0 will cause the top of the extrusion to be the same size as the bottom.
Smooth	Smooth the extrusion sides. Uncheck this option for a faceted look.
Add caps	Add caps to the top and bottom of the extrusion. Caps can only be added if the extrusion is a closed shape.
Closed	Connect the last point to the first, forming a closed shape.
Edit points	Enable or disable point editing mode, which will allow you to modify the shape. See Editing Points for details.
Shape options	Save the current shape or load a new one. For more details, see Saving and Loading Shapes.

Information
Triangles	Total number of triangles used to compose the extrusion. When creating many complex extrusions, it is best to keep the number of triangles as low as possible on slower computers.
