\page extrusion_page Extrusion
\n Extrusion is used to build mesh elements of plus one
-dimension than the input ones. Any line or planar element can be
-extruded. Line elements will extrude into quadrilateral plane elements.
-Triangular and Quadrilateral plane elements extrude into Pentahedron
-and Hexahedron solids respectively.
+dimension than the input ones. Any node, segment or 2D element can be
+extruded. Element of each type extrude into elements of a certain type
+as follows:

+Extruded element | Result elements |
+Node | Segments |
+Segment | Quadrilaterals |
+Triangle | Pentahedrons |
+Quadrilateral | Hexahedrons |
+Polygon | Polyhedrons |
+Hexagonal polygon | Hexagonal prism |

To use extrusion:
- From the \b Modification menu choose the \b Extrusion item or click
"Extrusion" button in the toolbar.
