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.
