+When 2D elements are extruded, in addition to 3D elements segments are
+created on ribs of the result 3D mesh. Free edges of input 2D elements
+generate logically horizontal rib segments. Logically vertical rib
+segments are generated from nodes belonging to a sole input 2D element
+(a figure below illustrates this rule).
