+Extrusion 3D algorithm can be used for meshing prisms, i.e. 3D shapes
defined by two opposing faces having the same number of vertices and
edges. These two faces should be connected by quadrangle "side" faces.
The shown sub-mesh is used by the algorithm to mesh
all eight prisms in the stacks.
-To use <em>3D extrusion</em> algorithm you need to assign algorithms
+To use <em>Extrusion 3D</em> algorithm you need to assign algorithms
and hypotheses of lower dimensions as follows.
(A sample picture below shows algorithms and hypotheses used to
mesh a cylinder with prismatic volumes).
<li> 1D algorithm and hypothesis that will be applied for meshing
(logically) vertical edges of the prism (which connect the top and the
base faces of the prism). In the sample picture above these are
- "Regular_1D" algorithm and "Nb. Segments" hypothesis named "Vertical
+ "Regular_1D" algorithm and "Number of Segments" hypothesis named "Vertical
Nb. Segments".</li>
</ul>
Scale Factor=3 is assigned to the highlighted edge.

-If <em>3D extrusion</em> algorithm is assigned to a sub-mesh in a mesh
+If <em>Extrusion 3D</em> algorithm is assigned to a sub-mesh in a mesh
with multiple sub-meshes, the described above approach may not work as
expected. For example the bottom face may be meshed by other algorithm

base face. This thing can happen with vertical edges as well. All
these can lead to either a meshing failure or to an incorrect meshing.
In such a case, it's necessary to explicitly define algorithms

- assign \ref projection_1D2D algorithm to the top face and
- assign a 1D algorithm to a group of all vertical edges.
