Creating solids from closed areas or faces
Presented next is another suitable command to create solids from closed areas or
faces.
The PRESSPULL command
PRESSPULL is a command that allows us to create solids dynamically and in a sim-
pler way. Since Version 2013, it also allows us to create surfaces:
• Solids : This creates a solid by selecting a closed object or specifying an
internal point to a closed area and then entering a value or picking a point
to specify the height
• Surfaces : This creates a surface by selecting an open 2D object
Since Version 2012, the command repeats automatically, allowing for multiple extru-
sions. Pressing the Enter or Esc key ends the command.
The most common situation is when we have several closed areas and we want to
their define volumeter quickly.
