+- **Base objects** - contains a list of objects selected in the Object Browser or in the Viewer, which will be extruded.
+- **Axis** if selected, it will be direction of extrusion, otherwise objects normals will be used.
+- **To face** - a face can be selected to bound extrusion from one side.
+- **To offset** - offset for extrusion or for bounding plane, if selected.
+- **From face** - a face can be selected to bound extrusion from the other side.
+- **From offset** - offset for extrusion or for bounding plane, if selected.
+
+Planar face selected as a boundary of extrusion will be enlarged infinitely. As a result, extrusion bounded only by planar faces will be completed always.
+On the other hand, if the boundary face is not planar, extrusion may fail, for example, in case of the base object cannot be projected to this face along given direction.
