Example

The following shape was created in the Extrusion Editor to illustrate the relationship between the shapes in the editor windows and the extrusion they create:


Example Extrusion

Here are the shapes that create the example extrusion:


Section


Spine


X and Z scale (ganged, so they're both the same)


Twist

Finally, here's what the inside of the extrusion looks like. The darker shapes were manually inserted to show you exactly how the twist moves the spine. Compare this to the solid image of the extrusion above.
