Skip past the modelling example for useful "how to" movies.

Easy Creation of Shell Geometries

• Extruded: Extrude a Shell between any two points in space
• Revolved: Create a Revolved Shell
• Ruled: Make a Ruled Shell between hand-drawn profiles on any two planes in space

Graphical Editing for Full Design Freedom

• Edit Shell profile graphically in any window: extrude, distort, tilt, rotate or revolve the Shell to fit your needs.
• Freely define the Shell outline by drawing its contour by hand. Add skylights, fitting them smoothly to a flat or curved surface.
• Create holes of any shape in any part of the Shell.
• Customize any edge of the Shell.

Accurate Geometric Display on the Floor Plan

• Shell display on the Floor Plan reflects its real geometry in 3D.

Which all dovetails nicely with this reminder from Cadimage about their Extrusion tool
