Hi,
I have a sketched a quite complex face (text created by using splines) and want to extrude this.
I get the error Extrusion failed.
I think it would be nice if you included a reason for the failure.
Question is what to do now, because I really need this extrusion.
Any suggestions?
Another issue I experienced is that I use the spline tool (fit mode) and often when I come back after closing S3D, parts are changes into splines in control mode with many control points.
This makes it very difficult to keep the text as simple as possible.
Hereâs a way to do some troubleshooting. Draw some lines breaking up the part that wonât extrude. Try extruding in segments. That way you can narrow your way down to the problem area.
Poor choice of words, or perhaps a text replacement issue. I meant it to say extrudable. The up and down arrow indicates itâs extrudable. But youâre saying it isnât working. Can you share your file here?
**my work around **
Restart the app. Select the area to be extruded, but rather than dragging the extrusion, tap the up arrow to open the number pad. From there type in any small dimension. Once that renders, select and resize by dragging as needed.
Thanks for all your input. #sjageneaux, that did unfortunately not work. #Tigermike: that was a good suggestion. I could narrow it down to a very smaal part of the first letter âaâ at the end of the first line. I rearranged some control points there and then it worked.
Mike, thanks a heap for your suggestion. I will remember this whenever searching for issues.
Regards, Poul
