Recommended test
Create one outward extrusion and one shallow inward result on a disposable rectangular face.
- Sketch a closed rectangle on a simple face and wait for the region to be recognized.
- Push/Pull it outward by 100 mm and inspect the preview from an isometric view.
- Edit the distance to a small negative value and confirm the direction reverses.
- Restore the positive result, commit it, and measure the extrusion depth.
Start with a valid region
Push/Pull requires a supported closed profile on one face. Rectangular and triangular segment loops are the most predictable tests. If no region appears, inspect endpoints and self-intersections before changing the extrusion controls.
Choose direction and distance
The sign of the distance determines which side of the sketch plane receives the result. Use a short distance first, orbit the preview and then enter the final value. A recess must stay meaningful relative to the host thickness.
Edit or remove a region
Created push/pull regions retain an editable distance and can be deleted through the tool’s region controls. When several regions exist on the same face, label your intent through simple geometry and change one at a time.
Confirm actual geometry
Display edges help reveal the boundary, but redundant lines can make a correct surface look fragmented. Inspect from both sides and measure the depth. For construction-critical subtractive work, also verify that the host remains a valid solid and that no hidden sliver geometry was created.
