5 3D extrusion algorithm can be used for meshing prisms, i.e. <b>3D Shapes</b>
6 defined by two opposing faces having the same number of vertices and
7 edges and meshed using the \ref projection_algos_page "2D Projection"
8 algorithm. These two faces should be connected by quadrangle "side"
11 The opposing faces can be meshed with either quadrangles or triangles,
12 while the side faces should be meshed with quadrangles only.

16 As you can see, the <b>3D extrusion</b> algorithm permits to build and to
17 have in the same 3D mesh such elements as hexahedrons, prisms and
