push pull only works sometimes.

[JOHNLLOYD7213]

On a fully patched Acad 2016 on respectible hardware, the push pull command doesn't work consistently.

Sometimes only part of a face extrudes, & often flat faces refuse to extrude at all.

Very frustrating.

I never saw the sense in the whole push pull concept.

A certain competitors product that I used in the nineties used the stretch command in both 2D & 3D.

Made a lot of sense to me.

Okay, so I'm stuck with push pull.

So what are the rules for getting it to work reliably & consistently?

I have to agree with that, Presspull works like crap; I use Loft just to get away from knowing presspull.

Can you post example *.dwg files?

Can you use the solidedit tools instead?

What product are you comparing your experience to?  Naming names is OK here.

I like Presspull, I use it a lot.

Anyway, make sure that the current layer is not hidden when using Presspull. If the current (ticked) layer is hidden then the presspull will not show on your model, even if you are working on a different, visible layer.
