16 To extrude from quadrangles in the **Main Menu** select **Model -> Operation -> Extrude Quadrangles**.
18 From a list of quadrangles, a set of hexahedra is created.
20 .. _guiextrudequadssimple:
25 The dialogue box to make a simple extrude of quadrangles is:

32 Simple Extrude From Quadrangles
36 - *Quad(s)* : the list of quadrangles to be extruded.
37 - *Nb layers* : the number of layers of hexahedra resulting from the extrusion.
39 The direction of the extrusion is the vertical axis (Z axis).

56 Uniform Extrude From Quadrangles
60 - *Quad(s)* : the list of quadrangles to be extruded.
61 - *dircection*: the direction of the extrusion.
62 - *length* : the length of hexahedra resulting from the extrusion.
63 - *Nb layers* : the number of layers of hexahedra resulting from the extrusion.

80 Custom Extrude From Quadrangles
84 - *Quad(s)* : the list of quadrangles to be extruded.
85 - *direction* : the direction of the extrusion.
86 - *height* : a list of heights (in ascendant order because the size is computed from the origin) to specify the size of each layer of extrusion.
88 TUI command: :ref:`tuiextrudequadscustom`
