The General Extrusion (

) operator is almost identical to a general extrusion coupling you can add in the Model Builder. The main difference is how you specify the operator name and selections, which is described in the
Operators section.
Use the Mesh search method list to specify one of the options
Use tolerance (the default),
Closest point, and
Walk in connected component. For
Use tolerance and
Walk in connected component, enter a tolerance in the
Extrapolation tolerance field.
Select the Use manual search distance checkbox to enter a manual distance in the
Search distance field.
Select the Map between product selections checkbox to expect the source selection to be a product selection. Two additional sections,
Destination Map for Extra Dimension and
Source Map for Extra Dimension, then appear. They include
Expression fields for the destination and source maps. These maps expect a vector or matrix input using curly braces (
{) with a coordinate expression of the correct size. These inputs are the equivalent of the tables in the Model Builder version of the operator. The
Source Map for Extra Dimension section is only active when the
Expression field in the
Source Map section is enabled.
