FIX Surface Extrude: Arrow Direction, Taper Rotation & length

[Anonymous]

Few thing I would like to see fix for surface extrude.

Example: 1" length extruded surface

when you Taper the surface:
1. the arrow show a different direction for the rotation which it make you think you are going to rotate the surface in a wrong direction.
2. when you rotate the surface to 45 degree the surface length change from 1" to 1.414", I would like to keep the length the same.

if you rotate at 89 degree the length change from 1" to 57.299". Just want to rotate the surface not change the length.

3. if you try to rotate the surface to 90 degree it will fail, can we get 90 degree rotation working instead of have us doing extra work.

 4. I want to extrude more than one surface at once

are you using the 2016 release?

if yes, to do what you want use the ruled surface command

Yes, Inventor 2016.
Ok let say ruled surface can be the solution instead of have rotate the extruded surfaceto to 90 degree. but for rotation length and the arrow direction, that can be improve.

Look like Fusion 360 also have similar problems Improve Fusion Surface Extrude

ok you're right as always

but a surface extrusion of 90° is a non sense..... use a 90° plane for the sketch
