Zmod edge extrude ?

Hi all,

I have been playing with the Zbrush modeller brush and was looking for the traditional edge extrude. Like in all 3d packages you cna grab an edge and extrude. Right now I can only do it on faces. The edge extrude seems to be broken or am I just using it the wrong way ?

Any help to shed light on this please let me know.

Make sure that you’re over an edge(it should show as the “target”. Open the menu(Spacebar) and select Extrude Should work.

Hi doug thanks heaps for the reply. I tried your way which is pretty much the way i did it and what happens is I get a face extrude and when you hold shift it just extrudes out a new face but from the center and not from its edge origin. I have attached an image below and hopefully explains what I mean.

Hmmm. No luck here either doing it as you like either. IF the edge had thickness… Sometimes it takes a different approach.

Hi Doug,

Thank you for the reply. I just wish Pixologic fixes this or if anyone has another way or suggestions please let me know.
