Greetings. This is my first time using Shapr3D. I cannot get this object to extrude. I can select it as a face. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi - would you be able to send us the workspace and a video of the problem?

It actually extruded after many tries. I think it worked after restarting the program. Thank you for the prompt response.
