Smart Extrude with edge constraints.

Smart Extrude with edge constraints.

Loving all the work on Smart Extrude, one improvement I could see is having it respect edge constraints so we can easily work with faces on angles.

yeah, I could see cases when you want that. Are you on beta program? If not pls join. Make a good list of improvements and bugs with this new toy and share your feedback there.

 

@teratron in the above case what will happen if you do the extrusion the other direction with edge constraints?

are you on beta? if not pls join as its the right moment to share feedback on Smart extrude there

@Kranos_Orphydian If you mean the same face but pulled in the Y direction it currently wouldn't move with edge constraints on. Would be cool if it could continue funneling down though. If you mean move the face on the opposite side then it would funnel down to the highlighted face in the image like you would expect.

I'll see if I can find some time to join the beta.

there is no real commitment and there are only a bunch of stuff they developed or related that you are invited to give feedback anyway.  This doesn't mean you can't suggest and start other discussions.

 

About the Edge constraints. Ive found this old idea regarding the Extrude tool itself Extrude Option to Respect Existing Taper (Surface Continuity) - Autodesk Community

 

Wouldn't be pretty much the same thing?
