Recipe 4 — Extrude

What: Linear extrusion of curves or surfaces along a direction vector.

Zone Map: [Geometry][Dist_slider] → [Extrude]

Pipeline

[Geometry]        [Dist: 0→50 slider]
(curve/surface)     (extrusion distance)
    │                     │
    │    [Unit Z] ──→ [Amplitude] ─┘
    │                           │
    └───────────────────────────┤
                                ▼
                           [Extrude]
                                │
                                ▼
              → extruded surface (curve) or polysurface (surface)

Shortcut for simple Z-extrude:

[Geometry] ──→ [Extrude].B
[Unit Z]   ──→ [Extrude].D   (distance via Amplitude on vector)

Output

Extruded surface or polysurface.
