DmPushPull

Pro, Platinum Pro, Platinum Pro, Platinum

Adds or removes volume from a solid by moving a face.

Accessing the Command

command bar: dmpushpull

menu bar: Model | Direct Modeling | Push/Pull

toolbar: Direct Modeling |

: dmpushpull

Prompts you in the command bar:

Select faces to push/pull: (select one or more faces on the same or different solids; press and hold the TAB key to select hidden geometry. Press Enter to stop selecting geometry.)

The selected geometry is edited dynamically.

Do one of the following:

Specify a point.
Type a value in the dynamic entry field.
Hit the TAB key to select a different reference face. The current reference face highlights. All faces which are parallel to the face being pushpulled are recognized, the nearest first. Press and hold the Shift key when hitting the TAB key to cycle reference faces in reverse order.
