Feature request: setting an angle for extrusion/inclusion

[siris]

I’m finding that the extrusion feature only runs parallel with the plane being effected. So, if you’re doing a compound taper, you can apply a second angle to an existing angled plane. If there was a control for the degree of extrusion, facets -for example - would be easier to cut.

Also, subtractive measurements - in addition to cumulative measurements would be a great aid in the efficiency of fitting contoured pieces into existing designs.

Lastly - the controls need to show where you touch the object vs the middle or you can’t see your precise fit.

I’m in need of the same function. If I’m on an angled plane and want to extrude in another direction than the normal.
I’m now forced to use a work around, like a loft or move/rotate the resulting structure to its required orientation, which is quite inconvenient.
Has this been ever officially considered as a request?
Thanks
