Change Axis of Extrusions

[Anonymous]

It would be great if you could extrude/cut from a plane/surface along a specified axis rather than on the axis of the plane that the sketch is on. You can do this in Solidworks. I put the picture below to show what I mean. The red dotted lines show a simple example of what this would look like in context. I'd like to extrude/cut in a direction that's goes along a separate axis of the plane.

This is a must!

I ran often I to this problem - this seems however to be common to parametric modeler that are at their core based on 2D sketches and those sketch planes provide the orientation for the z direction for commands such as extrude

this is genius. I have run into this problem, and this would be a great solution.

This is indeed a must have feature! I also bumped on this problem before!

 Thank you for your idea, this is getting changed to future consideration.  It will be a while before we are able to get to this idea based off of current priorities.  When work is started, the idea will be changed to future consideration.  The current workflow is to use sweep and choose the axis for the path.

So, I'm assuming that means thanks, but no thanks? 🙂

put this in! Coming from a polygon modeling background where extrusions work like this by default I would certainly welcome it 

[philthalmann]

Definitely! I could have used this just the other day. Great idea

I really want this command option.
That's good opinion!

Much needed. Such a common problem.
